Snowed In.

It's been fun. I'm kind of done. If I didn't have anywhere to go, this snow would be a great time. But I do, and I'm snowed in. You see my car here - there's no going anywhere. I was supposed to work a day shift but I had to give that shift away, because I didn't trust my car over the bridges, and the buses aren't running right. Fortunately a friend was available to cover my shift because she can't fly out of the airport. It's Arctic Apocalypse 2008!

We were supposed to leave for our honeymoon on the Oregon coast on Wednesday, to be gone for the Xmas weekend. Looks like that isn't going to happen. So instead we will either go a day early and be there tomorrow, or skip it and find a place in Portland. I'd rather go to the coast tomorrow, but I'm very nervous. I hope we make it there all right.

This morning once it became apparent that I wasn't going to make it to work, K made spiced whole-wheat waffles with maple-brandy syrup and brandied peaches. It was delicious! For dinner I sauteed our butternut squash gnocchi in butter and sage. Next time I think we'll serve the gnocchi in butternut squash sauce, heavily spiced and served with a salad. Sounds delicious to me.

We're having a happy Chanukah. For the first night we did homemade veggie-feta latkes with potatoes, turnip, sunchokes, kohlrabi, and carrots, served with homemade applesauce. We'll probably do that again for eighth night. It beat the holy hell out of regular latkes.

So, either I'll post tomorrow that our honeymoon was postponed, or I'll post when we get back about how awesome it was, or I'll never post again because we'll be mortally wounded somewhere in the Oregon timber forests. Here's praying it's the middle option.
