Sleigh Ride

Homemade Granola...my favorite Christmas treat

No School Again!

School was cancelled today because of the impending snow storm. I realize we are supposed to get 12 inches but come on people, where is your hearty New England winter spirit? It hasn't even started snowing yet! We could have got in a half day in order to prevent having to make it up in June. And seriously AJ's preschool gets out at noon so I think we would have been just fine driving to and from considering it's NOT SNOWING yet. I remember as a kid how bad it had to be for school to be cancelled. They act like we live in Florida where there are no snowplows and 2 inches sends them into a state of panic. What a bunch of wimps we've become!!!

A continuation of my obsession for fresh food....

Remember on Thanksgiving when I mentioned how I want to try and make everything from scratch? And I'm tired of the cans and boxes? I think the country needs a shift in the way we think about food and how we grow and prepare it. Thus I give you...Michael Pollan! Here's a link to a petition for him to be the new Secretary of Agriculture.

And if you want to find out more about him before you sign here's his site.

I know, not very Christmasy but necessary nonetheless.

HELP!

Where ARE the green Andes mint chips????????????

Heat Update

It's on as of this morning except now it's 65 degrees out and we don't need it today. Go figure! It took them 4 days to get to us and 140 dollars to come out for 30 minutes (really they should have given us a discount what with the economy and letting us and our 2 SMALL CHILDREN freeze while they took there sweet time getting to us but I'm not angry or bitter, not at all). Thanks Becky and Derek for letting us borrow your space heater in the meantime!
