First Snow 2009
Posted to Weather category
I'm not at the farmers' market this morning, and I'm glad of that. The first snow of the season began over-night and is still falling. It is very pretty to watch out of the windows, but I'm glad I'm not out standing in it.
Nanette and Rowan have started the Jay Hill Farm pumpkin stand for this year, so they decided trying to work market would be redundant -- as well as unpleasant -- given the forecasts.
I'm going to spend some time in the kitchen today. I want to make one more batch of melon sorbet, using tequila and agave nectar instead of rum and sugar so it will be more diabetic-friendly. And I have some pumpkins that need to be made into pies.
I think I'm going to start defrosting some chicken giblets and livers to make a batch of dirty rice, too. I got some nice bright red bell peppers and fresh celery at the supermarket for it. But I probably won't make the dirty rice until tomorrow if I spend today in the kitchen making pies.
