Snow Day: Indoor Edition

Columbia has declared a Weather Emergency and cancelled classes through Wednesday. Naturally, the snow has caused residents to cozy up indoors except for the occasional peek outside. With the pantry stocked and fleece blankets galore this blizzard has been a guilt free way to spend time just watching the snow pile up on the windowsill. 

Nadine Oelschlager takes her first peek out the window on Tuesday morning.

Homemade chicken curry with crispy potatoes over rice and garnished with cilantro.

Snow accumulation on the windowsill as of Tuesday evening.

I made Balsamic Chicken and Italian Vegetables the other night. How can you resist fresh basil?

Camera and Crisp

I don't think i've ever been so excited to see a UPS man. My Canon 5D Mark ii was delivered today and I could not contain my excitement. I'm getting back in the swing of things. Fall has always been my favorite season, and apple crisp is the prefect way to celebrate. I made the dessert with honeycrisp apples. They are sweet, tart, and were invented by the University of Minnesota. What's not to love?
