This week has been a bit snowy. The first storm, Monday to Tuesday, dumped a heavy near a foot (above or below +/-2”). The second, (Thursday to Friday) also dumped around a foot (+/- 2”). So far I have had 11 snow removal sessions for a total of 7 hours and 24 minutes and 4808 calories burned.

I say so far, because I have to do touch up for the extra inch that showed up yesterday, and still have to clean off my car and my half of the driveway. So far the worst parts has been the snow thrown on the street sidewalk, and the pile left at the end of the driveway.

Buttermilk Pancakes

Good things.

Sausage

Brats! Crooked Gap!

Taco Salad

Good as always.

Hot Honey Peanut Noodles

So I turned off into another thing. I used the peanut butter and sauce packets with rice vinegar, but fried up eggs and cooked up some diced spam. It was good and warming after the first couple of rounds of snow removal.

Bourbon Chicken

Not my first time making it, not the last. I did buy my normal bourbon (Cedar Ridge) and did make it through quite a bit of the bottle before I actually used it for this recipe. I think I had more then 2 pounds of chicken so I probably should’ve upped the sauce amount, but didn’t, even so, tasted good and good over rice.

As a note I also used some chili garlic sauce as it had returned to the store for the first time in a bit and one forgets how good it actually is.

Sloppy Joes

Will gochujang be a definite add from time to time to my random sloppy joes? Yes, yes I think it might. This was quite good and combined with the Napa cabbage salad topper. I used some butter burger buns, produced locally. I was hoping to pickup beef this week, but with the rounds of snow, I actually ordered for next week, so hopefully I’ll be stocked up again with meat from Crooked Gap.
