Another Snowy Day......

It snowed again today. It's still coming down. Another day of cooking.

My mom has already made some veggie soup. More greens, different veggies, just as yummy. But I digress.....

My niece Emily is visiting. She loves to bake. Especially bread, but anything is fair game. Last night she and my mom whipped up some dough. Here it is on the table, waiting to be transformed into a seriously delicious bread. Soon after this photo was taken, it was rolled into individual balls, about the size of a scoop of ice cream, coated with olive oil, sprinkled with herbs and place in a tube pan where it will rise again! Fast forward to later today when it emerges from the oven and is ripped apart by eager hands waiting to smother it with butter and devour it's pipping hot pieces into our bellies.

Is there a better way to spend a cold and snowy afternoon?
