It's Snowed In Day Seven! We probably could have climbed out of our cozy little valley during the past week if we really needed to, but thankfully we didn't. Tomorrow we'll see if we can make it to town 10 miles away to get our mail (the post office doesn't deliver out to the farm), stock up on dog food at the (only) store in town, and pick up a couple gallons of that wonderful Jersey milk from our neighbors.
We'll wait until next week to head to a 'real' city to load up with holiday groceries and 750 pounds of sheep feed. Friday we're expecting more ice and snow.
Today the sun is out, the sky is bright, the snow has slowly started melting despite single digit temps each night (Saturday morning it was -6F), and we're craving chocolate something fierce. There's nothing like trekking out to Donkeyland through the snow (with Jasper!) or whacking through several inches of ice in 8 water troughs to work up and appetite and get your sweet tooth going.
Heavenly! Look forward to baking these up....
ReplyDeleteWow, snowed in for seven days! We here are having a very unusual warm weather! I felt so hot this morning working out in the sun, doing farm work, not exercising :) But by next week, we are expecting lots of snow :(
ReplyDeleteOne word: Mmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminders. I gotta make these for the holidays, too!
ReplyDeleteYUM!
These sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys are cozy and warm and hoping you make it to town before the next storm. We had our first real snow day before yesterday, and it is beautiful. Jared baked bread for the first time in a long time yesterday and it was perfect. That and your sourdough post from the other day, makes me want to start another sourdough starter and tackle your whole wheat sourdough. That just looks amazing. So do these fudgy bars! You are amazing. Thanks for being there. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect with roasted almonds.
