It's snowing today. Snowing a LOT. So far, as of noon, we have about a foot out there. A foot! It is supposed to keep snowing through tomorrow evening so we'll see how much snow we get overall.
I am working from home today and probably tomorrow. One thing I love about working from home is being able to cook lunch. Today we whipped out the awesome America's Test Kitchen Cookbook and made baked macaroni and cheese. It was delicious! Of course, with a stick of butter and 5 cups of cheese (yes, I said cups), how could it be bad? I also made Evelyn some chicken nuggets.
(As an aside...before I had a child, I thought it was terrible how much crappy processed food kids eat. Looking at the children's menu at any average restaurant was sad: chicken nuggets, hamurger, spaghetti, french fries. Right. Then I had a toddler, and that toddler likes to eat food with her own hands, and she also gets cranky when she is hungry, and sometimes that time comes in the car, and sometimes we drive-thru Wendy's and get chicken nuggets. Urgh. We've tried giving her Luna Bars or granola bars or other hand-sized things, but they don't always work. Chicken nuggets always work. So, I decided to make some homemade nuggets, baked not fried, and hope for the best. She liked it. Yay! But really, it is a small victory in the large war against unhealthy food.)
So. Where was I? Snow snow snow!!! Cooking! Maybe, if I'm lucky, a little baking, too! The news just said this storm will intensify this afternoon. Curses. This is a lot of snow.
