Food and Fun

It has been a slow week so I decided to take it easy on the blog until the weekend. We received snow on Thursday and into Friday. In some places it was over 3 inches. I know for some of you this is nothing but coming from TEXAS "HOOK'EM Horns". I am cautious when driving. ( I just had to do a shout out for the University of Texas football team on their way to the Championship game.)

Last night I walked to the local pub / restaurant for a steak and ale pie. A steak and ale pie has huge pieces of meat in a gravy style sauce served in a oven proof dish and topped with a pastry crust and a side of chips (fries). This is good hearty food on a cold night, it warms the soul. I also met some of the locals from the town I live in and had a great time.

Today I'm off to meet some friends. We are going to a polish deli for lunch. Of course I can not forget the Farmers Market and hopefully purchase some fresh foods. Since the snow is melting and the sun is out I expect the market will not be cancelled. The camera is charging....so expect photos of the market and snow later. Until then have a great weekend and remember why we celebrate Christmas.
