Early this past week, we had a small dose of snow. Enough to cancel school for "the girl" and for a peaceful morning on the porch with a cup of coffee and the mutt.
The snow put us in the mood for some snowed in comfort food, even though we were not snowed in. First round was smoked chicken pot pie.
Next day, we broke out a jar of our canned rabbit meat from our neighbor and made rabbit and dumplings. We cut out a little bit or meat for rabbit gravy on Sunday.
We had cornbread muffins and scratch made dinner rolls along with them.
We ran out of chicken wing sauce, so Lawman made a fresh batch and canned it up.
We figured we would lose power when the next storm hit, so we did some prep work. First we set up our kerosene heaters. The mutt approved.
We baked our Sunday biscuits ahead of time so all we would have to do is warm them up.
And we had to have a fresh pie. This week, made from scratch butterscotch pie. It was a bit more labor intensive than our usual pies, but it was well worth it.
Then later in the week, we got a real shot of winter weather. We measured thirteen inches Sunday morning.
Sunday morning we work up early, broke out the snow blower and cleared a path to the slanty shanty, then we went over to Pop's house and broke a path through his driveway, cleared off his vehicle and path to the house. We came back to the house and cooked regular breakfast stuff on the camp stove. We didn't miss a beat, even without power.
We ended the week waiting for APCo to goose the juice.
