Thank goodness for snow days!
Now I can actually find time to post this! I wasn’t sure at first… So much to do, so many things to unpack and put away, so little time to rest, etc.
Anyhow… Yesterday’s snow day was a blessing. And today’s, too. They’ve given me a chance to finally sit down and check on the blog.
And to check on you, most importantly! I wish you all a smashing New Year filled with happiness, prosperity, and above all, peace.

“Jess’s falafel patties made me get out of bed to soak some chick peas, so I can make them tomorrow ? The falafel looks picture perfect!” — Sandhya

January 5, 2018 at 8:35 amHappy New Year, and Yes, I can co-host next week! Assuming I don’t turn into an icicle during our current obnoxious weather. (I like winter. I like my season in moderation, though.)
Angie says
January 5, 2018 at 8:57 amGreat! And Happy New Year! The weather is very obnoxious indeed! When I start saying indeed, you know I’m serious, lol.

The mango cake is one to due for and Jas’ firecracker filo is just too awesome!!
Happy new year, Angie!
Angie says
January 5, 2018 at 11:11 amNot me! That’s the husband’s job! The wind has something else in mind, though. It rearranges the snow as it sees fit. I’m inside a blanket teepee with a portable heater underneath, so I’m toasty, hehe… The firecrackers are the best thing ever, right?!
Ann GrubbsnCritters says
