More Snow in Portland!

I think I should change the focus of this blog to food and weather. What do you think?

We thought we got a lot of snow earlier this week? Ha! Last night we got a few inches of beautiful powder. Turns out it was actually a little ice on top of powder. Terrible to drive in but great for sledding.

[Side note: this was what winter looked like the in Reno, where I started college. Coming from the desert, I was not at all prepared for snow. The windshield fluid (water) in my car froze and my keyholes froze more than once. I was actually 1 hour late to a physics final because I couldn't get my car door open! But by the time I left Reno, I could put chains on with my eyes shut.]

This is what I saw when I woke up this morning. Gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Child labor

Worker on strike. Note to self: still need to get Hubby a real snow shovel.

Child worker turned bossy supervisor. "Faster, Daddy!"

Look how cute this kid is!

Hubby took this picture yesterday. There was double as much snow today.

For our dinner, I made a pot of tom yum soup with mushrooms. With a bowl of steamed jasmine rice, it made a filling, warming meal. And it took all of 30 minutes!
