As I write this post it is negative 5 degrees F outside.\u00a0 I spent a good chunk of the afternoon clearing away snow from the driveway and sidewalks, a task I mostly enjoy.\u00a0 Today was one of those days.\u00a0 The snow was powdery and light, it looked beautiful all around.\u00a0 The kid across the street was sledding on a snow pile which led her about three feet in front of her and then she started rolling around in the stuff with joyous abandon only a child could demonstrate.\u00a0 Why is it that when we get older we notice more how it’s too humid out or how bitterly cold it is?\u00a0 I want that child-like joie de vivre.<\/em><\/p>\n

The thought of cold salads make my teeth chatter this time of the year.\u00a0 I tend to want melted cheesy or fried anything but I know that’s not good for me.\u00a0 I’ve pacified this “evil” craving by making more warm salads.\u00a0 This is one of my favorites.\u00a0 It’s so easy to make and you can substitute whatever you might have in the pantry or refrigerator at the moment and create your own version.<\/p>\n
