Well, the snow came and went, as predicted. I think when all is said and done we got about eight inches up here. It’s not too big a deal, but the roads were pretty sloppy this morning. It took me twice as long as usual to get to work – 15 minutes! Man, I love living nearby.

So takaza is still off in Detroit training, which means one more night of living the bachelor life. Last night was terribly exciting: relaxing on the sofa, reading the paper, chatting with folks on the muck and by IM, and listening to a good net radio station. Woo, life in the fast lane! 🙂 Tonight may be a bit different, though. Now that we have a little extra freezer space to work it, it occurred to me that the dinner that we traditionally cook for the first night of our New Year’s shindig could be made in advance and frozen. This would take a lot of pressure off me right before the party, which is always a Good Thing. I’m thinking about making a curried lamb and lentil stew tonight. I also want to make a tasty chili, and Dan will be making a beef stew. How crazy will we get? Who knows. This adds an extra bit of flexibility, though, and I love the idea of being able to offer a couple of different dishes.
I expect I’ll be stopping at home after work to track down the recipe(s) I want, then it’ll be off to the store to pick up ingredients.

Hm, need to make some plans for the weekend, too. I’ll work on that.
