Our friends in South Jersey have been experiencing all the snow as we did not get anything from the last storm. However, the storm that will arrive tonight should dump snow on us through Wednesday night. From what we know so far, we could get over 8 inches. (yea, I know, that's nothing compared to what you guys had) We are ready!! The cars are off to the side to allow B to plow the entire driveway. I have breakfast food in the freezer so if we can't make it out to breakfast, we can still eat :) I'm sure the ski places are happy. We again saw people fishing on the lake this morning. The temperatures did get up to above freezing - right now, at 4:58 it is 34 degrees. The nights have been very cold with temperatures in the teens.
My new toy is a pressure cooker. It's digital and much easier to use than the ones you put on the stove top. I got it from QVC and have purchased several cook books. Thus far I have made minestrone soup, a chicken dish where the chicken is cooked with veggies in parchment paper in a small basket above the water. The chicken cooked under pressure for 3 minutes and was really good. Last night I made cauliflower and red pepper soup that was cooked at medium pressure for 2 minutes. I then used my immersion blender and then added a bit of half & half... yum. I really liked that - B ate it but I''m thinking it did not make his top ten list! The most interesting thing I've made so far is cheesecake... and it was quite good. My oven is dead - the part needed has been ordered but I'm not able to bake anything. The cheesecake was steamed in a smallish pan that was covered. I followed the directions and it tasted really good. Think B enjoyed it because we have had it several times and he hasn't turned it down LOL
Stay warm...
