The Long Winter

It's snowing. Again.

Anyway!

Here's yesterday's bread, a wheat germ loaf that is maybe The Best Bread Ever.

And for dinner, lemon & feta risotto, which never really photographs that well, alas, but was very good. And some sautéed spinach. Again, not the most photogenic, but pleasing nonetheless. Unlike the snow, which, though also not that easy to photograph, is—sigh—not that pleasing either. Yes: pretty... for a while, but then—.

And here's my helper, dutifully watching while I shovel the driveway yet again. I don't know why I bother since the roads (hills!) are treacherous here so I'm not going anywhere, but one likes to feel like one could, maybe.

A light rain

---the kind that doesn't stop the birds from chirping. And yes, the mourning dove is in her nest.

A quiet kind of evening. Risotto with asparagus for dinner. Homemade vegetable stock gave it a rich look.

Risotto is one of those foods that doesn't photograph that well... but it does taste good.
