"I wanna be a CARROT!"

hot chocolate secret recipe

As I write this at least the snow seems to be melting.  I didn't know that we were going to get snow.  I recall NOTHING on the weather forecast about snow.  I was not prepared.  I was not a good boy scout.  I think that's the best way to wake up to snow.  Completely unprepared.  I know that that makes no sense, but just follow me here...

While the front room make over is well under way, I thought I'd throw another food post out at ya.

front room makeover part I

I have the next two days without any kids.  It's a school holiday and our kids are visiting their other parent so I got this grand idea to make over the whole house.  Ya, that's not happening, so I thought I'd make over the room with the most problems.  So I'm making over the front room...
