SNOW!!! WE HAVE SNOW!!!

As we left to drive to my parent’s house, I saw it. I stood beside the car, very confused – it took me a minute to figure out what it was. Then I realized … it was SNOW!!! We got SNOW!!! Snow, snow, snow! I made Mike get out of the car so he could watch it with me. I photographed it (see the Flickr photos in the sidebar), of course. I’m so giddy – we have snow!

By the way, it’s not an amount of snow that you can measure. It’s a dusting of snow. But I don’t care … we have SNOW for Christmas! Wheeeee!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! From Houston, with the rare Christmas snowfall!

Hello? Where is MY Snow?

According to the Weather Channel, it was snowing earlier in parts of north Houston. I live in north Houston. Where is my snow? Huh? Come on! I want snow for Christmas!

Oven Mystery – SOLVED!

We tested the oven last night. It turns out that I had never noticed a problem before because if you set it to 350, it stays pretty much at 350. Most cookies and other items are backed in that range, so 350 is safe. No burnt goodies coming out of the oven.

On the other hand, if you set it for 400, you’re screwed. It climbs and climbs until it reaches great temps close to 500 degrees. It’s like the home for the Heat Miser in there. And my poor fragile spritz cookies were just no match for that kind of heat.

Last night we made a different cookie recipe – the spritz cookie that kick ass – and baked them at 375. Viola! No burnt cookies. And they taste sooooooooooo good.

Yeah! Mystery solved! I don’t have to go back to Easy Bake Oven training school after all!
