Snow-athon


We've had a wicked awesome snowfall here. Chris and I went for a stroll this morning and I took some photos of the neighborhood. I also made my first snow angel! So much fun. We topped off the walk by coming in and sharing some hot cocoa and popcorn.

And now I'm debating making homemade cinnamon rolls AGAIN! This would be the third batch in less than two weeks. I think that I have a sick addiction. Damn you Farm Chicks! I really love this recipe. There's a serious investment of time and effort but it's so worth it. I love kneading the dough, watching it rise, rolling it into beautiful, tasty little rolls and then watching those rise up into fluffy and amazing giant hunks of awesomeness. It's so worth every calorie.

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls and a Valentine's Day Walk


This morning I surprised (not really because he saw me making the dough last night) Chris with some fresh baked, homemade, cinnamon rolls this morning. The recipe was from The Farm Chicks cookbook that I got for Christmas and they were very tasty. They were huge, like double the size of one of the Pillsbury in a can ones. The recipe makes 12 and I have a feeling that it'll take us the rest of the week to get through them all.


After our lovely breakfast we went for a nice afternoon walk around the neighborhood. I took these photos along the way. There's still a decent amount of snow piled around but the weather was nice and crisp and the sun was bright and shiny.


Tonight there will be homemade pizza eating , movie watching, and lots of snuggling in front of the TV. A lovely, low-key Valentine's Day.

Photos of the Day


Chris and I went for a lovely walk around the neighborhood today. The weather is super nice so it's nice to take advantage before it starts snowing and I don't want to leave the house again until Spring.

Afternoon Walk

Some photos from a walk today to Prospect Park and back. It was a pleasant walk there but the walk back really drilled in that 85 degree weather. I miss Spring already but I did get to poke around a few stoop sales at least.
