For the last 2 weeks, we have had cold weather and snow and freezing rain here and there,but nothing too crazy that would stay very long. Huntsville has no equipment to really deal with snow of any kind, any snow or ice shuts the city down. So, yesterday we got about 5.5″-6″ of snow in a very short time, so here are some of our pictures and videos. It is a nice light and fluffy snow, that is very pretty to look at.
For a while now, I have been making truffles at least during the holidays. I started out hand rolling the truffles and dipping them in chocolate which works pretty well,but then I realized I could use a candy mold which I describe the process here. That worked wonderfully too,but then I found out about these truffly molds that make my life SO much easier. I bought one of the huge molds which is pretty expensive, but they have smaller versions if you prefer to make smaller batches. So here is my new system for making truffles.
Wow, I know this post is late, but I want to catch up on some of these later posts so I can get going on the house blog posts. 🙂 We drove to Ohio this year for Christmas, but were lucky to be able to stay the night at Kira and Andrew’s which meant on Monday night, after work, we could drive the first 2 hour portion to Nashville, and then crash. Then Tuesday morning, the 23rd, we left Nashville for the remaining 8 hour drive to Ohio. We had a pretty uneventful drive which is always a blessing. We made it to Bryan and Amanda’s house around 6pm, and then had some awesome burritos. They knew that I have been craving mexican food non stop, so we ate some homemade pico de gallo, homemade guacamole, and of course the shredded chicken and cilantro lime burritos. We then talked way too much, and went to bed way too late,but that is life sometimes.
