Snowed in, NT-style

The forecast was for heavy snow, starting last night, so I had my husband set up a loaf of long soaking bread, and sent him to the store for staples. Luckily, my staples tend to be different from the average household -- no milk, bread, chicken breasts here. There is the matter of the little sporting event tomorrow, so he got some stuff to prepare for that, too.

In all, we got frozen green beans and blueberries, whole wheat flour, pastured eggs, potatoes, chicken drumsticks, cheese, butter, and a few pantry staples that I managed to not have. Bread was in the oven at 8:30 a.m. We lost power at 9:30. Breakfast, cooked by candlelight, was bacon, eggs, and homemade bread with butter. Lunch was bread with some leftover cured meats.

We ventured out briefly to play in the snow and take some pictures of Duncan, and then came in a read by the light through our large sliding glass door. Very relaxing. Spent some time tending to my sprouting wheatberries for the Real Food Challenge. Although I was glad that the power came back on in just 5 hours.

Tomorrow: my semi-nourishing party food.
