Oh January! How naïve we were, bundled up as winter did it’s
thing, dreaming of spring not so far off, getting excited about a few inches of
weekend snow.
January is as good a time as ever for comfort food. It’s
dark, it’s cold, it’s hard to imagine that we’ll ever get out of winter and
into spring and warmth, but it’s probably going to happen. January was when I
had to plan runs around time of day, making sure I could sneak something in
before work or maybe in the afternoon before it got dark.
But what did we know… What lay around that curve of the
river… Winter. True, deep, dark winter was waiting for us, baiting us, about to
spring out and attack us. Two and a half feet of snow. OH. The horror, the
horror. Two and a half feet of snow melts eventually, right? We warm up with
mac and cheese, or roasted veggies, or soups, and then before we know it, the
snow has gone, dirty piles of it sit on the corners, but those melt too, and we
emerge, out of the darkness, into spring.
RIGHT??? What the hell, winter?
Just another storm, another snow day, another work out
shoveling, another day on the treadmill because you cant go outside. But this will go away eventually. We’ll get
back out of the jungle.
Eventually.
A few ways we coped with the storm:
Whole Grain Macaroni & Cheese
We just put cheese on everything...
