Snow Day #1

First snow,school calls a snow day which must mean more on the way today. Loaded Baked Potato Soup is on the menu.

Snow Day #4

This will be the fourth snow day this week.  It just will not stop snowing here in Truckee.  The kids will be going to school until July 4th at this rate and Little League has little hope of starting anytime soon. Such is life at 6000'.  It does make for some warm and cozy nights thumbing through food magazines and watching movies.  I recommend Secretariat and Temple Grandin. 

Marshmallow World

Living on the eastern side of Donner Summit in Truckee has many advantages. Terrific mountain views, deep winter snow and outdoor fun. When we get a big snow the whole landscape turns into a marshmallow world. The bluebird days that follow a big snow storm are the best. Kids love it, dogs love it and I love it.
