Snow Day. Fab Find.

So, typical VA weather. Last week we went from normal day, to freak mid-week snow storm, to ridiculously nice spring like weather over the weekend, and going into this week of cold and rain. It's always completely unpredictable when it comes to weather here. BUT I will say that the crazy snow storm brought with it some good as well. Not only did we all get a nice snow day from work (yes, adults get them too) but I learned a fantastic new recipe. Though it wasn't Sunday, I tried out this recipe for Sunday Night Stew from the Pioneer Woman. Super good, and was the perfect snowed in meal to have with the hubz. Below are a few photos of the the day ... and the tasty dish. :) A definitely recipe to try.

Snow Day! Puppy snow paws and warm cup of cocoa.

My ingredients all lined up and ready to go. Only thing I didn't have was turnips. But I say this is pretty good for spur of the moment stew day.

Cooking up a storm.

And the final product. On top of some tasty mashed potatoes.

A Storms a Brewin'

I've been waiting all winter for a real snow storm. The kind that makes you curl up in your PJs with a cup of cocoa and just watch the world turn white. And just enjoy the quiet calm that falls over the usual hustle-and-bustle. BUT, I did not expect it to happen in March! Only a couple weeks away from Spring and we're here hunkering down preparing for 6-12 inches!? (Puxatony Phil may want to get his eyes checked) Craziness .. I pretty much hung up my snow boots and figured there's always next winter. But I guess I was wrong. Winter really wanted to really go out with a bang this year.  I guess all-in-all I do get  two things that I love snow .. AND spring. Since the temps are supposed to jump back up this weekend. My birthday month gave me the 2 things I've been wanting .. so I guess I can't complain. Who knows maybe I can make another snowy car hippo like I did back during Snowmagedon a few years ago....
