frozen January and warm food

We weren't lacking snow or cold or wind earlier in January, but the last two weeks have shouted winter into our hat, hood and scarf covered ears. And in between the demoralizing, frost burn inducing moments, we kept an eye on the forecasted temperatures and the sudden snow squalls seen on the radar and looked for a sunny window to actually go out there and look around a bit. 
But since we are mostly hibernating creatures, much of our time as been spent indoors doing lesson work, organizing our house, making stuff and just playing around. 
Making hot and satisfying meals and treats helps me cope with such unforgiving weather so I have celebrated many foodstuffs with a photo despite my family's collective eye-rolling. And Flossy sleeps and sleeps and keeps an eye out the window and on the door always thinking the grass must be greener on the other side. Clearly it's not. But who can tell a cat anything?

  1. A wonderful way to spend a very cold winter! some very nice foodstuffs in your pictures! I wonder if cats can suffer from cabin fever. :) Thank you for sharing scenes of your home and life.

  4. I love seeing pics of you and the kids outside in the snow. I'm really struggling getting my kids outside in the cold. I don't do well with cold, even with knowing that it is just a matter of dressing well. We have the gear (mostly. . . Do you have mittens/gloves you recommend?)

    1. I have no recommendations other than keep multiple sets for various outdoor activities and as back-ups for the ones that always go missing for most of the winter and turn up in spring. :)
