Winter---I quit!
Spent quite a bit of Thursday cocooning with cookbooks. Was heartened to realize that I've got a lot of staples on hand. I may have to pick up a few things (whole-wheat flour and garlic were recurring ingredients I know I don't have), but I have beans, rice, a bag of cornmeal, tons of pasta, tomato products, etc.
pwcorgigirl, that cookbook you sent me has lots of stuff that looks do-able. I'm eyeing the Polenta-Corn pudding, which sounds yummy/easy, and there were a bunch of other things. Among the baking supplies I picked up were fresh boxes of baking powder and baking soda; I know that yeast needs warmer weather than I'm currently experiencing, but Irish soda bread would be oh-so-lovely. Or pancakes for breakfast! I'm feeling inspired...now if only that translates into being motivated---!
It seems as if the Arctic temps are going to linger well into next week, and they're even forecasting a slim chance of snow. Would someone please send me a plane ticket to Puerto Rico, with an open return date? I am OVER this!
