This month really sucks weather-wise. We've got another two+ inches already this morning with at least 2-5 more predicted before it switches to rain and snow combined tomorrow, and after a supposedly precip-free Christmas, we're supposed to get more this weekend.

Oh well, at least the temperature has moved up into the low 20s.

I've got friend of mine who said she made curried sweet potato latkes Sunday night and you just reminded me I have to bug her for the recipe. If I get it, you want I should post?

Oh! I had a sweet potato latkes recipe somewhere. I'm in uni right now, but I'll search for it later and post it if you want.

Using a blowtorch to clear your snow may be a stupid idea, but you've got to admit it has style. At least, for a short while, until the porch catches fire....

Shir, do you use mashed potatoes for latkes? In the US, grating is a big deal - there's a whole cultural trope about grating the potatoes and onions and you always skin your knuckles and the trials your mother goes through for you...

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

In that case, flea, our cultures resembles: we grate. But I found grater to be helpful with that...

There are actual blood, sweat, and tears in those latkes, you little pisher, and don't you forget it!

Or something along those lines.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had something to say, but no I've forgotten. I am so very tired and even going to bed shortly after 10 did not help. This is the really bad part of the staying here for Christmas, I do not get a day to sleep in or the option of an afternoon nap.

oh right, sara reminded me, 1) I have not wrapped anything yet AND I work/go to the Dr. tomorrow. 2) getting 5lbs of bionicles is awesome. I should look into ebay lots.
