blizzard warning

First they were saying 10 to 14 inches of snow, then they upped it to a possible 20. It's been snowing since about 4:30, and we have less than three inches, so I don't think that's going to happen, but you never know. They predicted a thunderstorm, so that could be intense. The winds have picked up, so we'll probably have less snow in the front of the house, since the wind tends to blow it away. I plan on going to work tomorrow, whenever I get around to clearing the driveway. I may be the only one from our department who makes it in. I may be one of the few in the whole place.

Pancake Day

When I was a kid, pancakes were one of my favorite foods. I'd always eat them until I was stuffed. We went out for crepes on sunday (I had one filled with mint chocolate chip ice cream, and covered with hot fudge). And we talked of waffles. So now I'm wanting waffles. I think I need to get a waffle iron. I have an antique cast iron Montgomery Ward waffle iron. I tried it once, and couldn't get it to work. I used to go to George Webb late at night and get their French toast. Not the best in the world, I'm sure, but it was good. Butter and syrup. Mmm. I've made stuffed French toast - thick slices of french bread, stuffed with strawberry preserves and cream cheese, then dipped in egg/milk and fried. MM, as well.
