Ice Day {again}

Today is Day 2 of the ice storm.  I haven't really gotten cabin fever yet since I haven't ran out of tv or books to read.  I'm happy that Tuesday night is such a big tv night that it fills up my DVR.  I'm also reading two books...Pioneer Woman's new book "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" and Ted Kennedy's Memoir "True Compass".  "True Compass" has been wonderful so far.  So much history.  Such an interesting insight into the Kennedy family.

Pretty much everything around was closed again today.  It didn't seem like the county was going to close.  In fact, I'm pretty sure the only reason they did was that they discovered no employees showed up this morning.  All of the judges held a stand-off with the commissioners and refused to come to work.  Pretty funny stuff because there is no love loss there to begin with.  I'm waiting to see what they will do tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to court.  I have one client that I've been trying to get on the phone to warn that I likely won't be coming.  I know I just sound lazy, but seriously, look at my driveway...
It's too shady to melt off like the rest of the street and it is very steep.  Ice and incline do not mix well. 

I did just get a bit of good news though.  The college has cancelled all classes tomorrow.  That's a super thing for me because Thursday night is my back to back class night!  Woo-Hoo!  So this week both of my Tuesday/Thursday classes were cancelled as well as my Thursday night class.

Right now, I'm just wishing that I had stocked my pantry better.  I didn't think it would last this darn long and now we aren't suppose to get above freezing until Saturday, with another chance of snow on Friday!

I think I could spend days at a time in my house and never get cabin fever. I'm a homebody. Sorry about the food situation- always best to have lots of goodies when you're stuck inside.

Is that car in the picture up on the curb? Wondering if someone on your street tried to ice drive.

Finished The Help. It absorbed my entire "it's too cold out to do anything day". I'm sure my husband and children would have perfered that I do something productive. Great book...it's going to affect me for sometime.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
