Snow. We finally got some more snow. They had been predicting 1-2 inches in the metro area, but it turned out to be more like 5 inches at my house. Light and fluffy stuff, easy to shovel.
Just finished dinner. Decided to improvise a bit on other recipes (and readers suggest a couple here) - so we ended up with pan-fried steaks, homemade baked fries, and nuked corn. The steaks were peppered, topped with cheese, and smothered in a sauce of butter, salsa, diced onion, garlic, parsley, and brandy, set alight just because I like fire! Fire! Turned out well.
We're now off to watch "Mies vailla menneisyyttä" and "Happiness." Perhaps a report at the end of the evening.
God bless us everyone.
Update: While "Mies vailla menneisyyttä" made me Suomi-sick for Finland (those keeping score in the audience know I lived there in 1994-1995), I'm not sure I see what made this an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, unless foreign films were rather lacking that year. It did have some subtle humor, but the performances seemed lackluster and the ending left me thinking "well, that wasn't much of a climax." I do, however, want to get back to Finland for a visit now.
"Happiness" so far is proving to be enjoyable and funny in its own sad way. Check it out, unless you're easily offended. Which I imagine a lot of you are.
