Want to have some great fun with the kids when you go ice fishing, snowmobiling, or are enjoying any of the many outdoor winter sports? Have an outdoor weenie roast. Build a big fire, drag out the lawn chairs, and the hotdog forks. The kids will have a ball helping with the fire and then warming themselves after a long day out in the great outdoors. Get out the summertime weenie forks, weenies, buns, chips, and the makings for some-mors and have fun. Serve hot chocolate or mulled cidar for a warming drink. Invite your friends and neighbors along with their kids and have a ball. There is nothing like an outdoor fire and food on a winter afternoon.

Hardly a snack food but a great party item. Besides, in these times, we need to save where we can.
Here is a good recipe for a home brew Kahlua that I think is pretty good and a bunch cheaper than the real McCoy. It goes as follows:
4 cups water
3 - 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup instant coffee crystals
1 fifth of vodka
1 real vanilla bean or 1/2 t. vinailla extract
Bring water to rolling boil & add sugar. Continue to boil for 5 minutes.
Stir in coffee crystals, a spoonful at a time
Bring back to boil
Take off the heat and cool for tem minutes. Stir in vodka and pour into glass 1/2 gallon wine bottle or glass jug. Split the vanilla bean and add to the jug. Cork the jug and put in a cool place or in the frig for two weeks. Shake jug every few days. Enjoy in a glass or pour over vanilla ice cream. YUM-YUM.

February 2008 - Winter Sets In |

We are enjoying a great winter this year. Our snows came early this year in November and we have seen little bare ground since. We had a brief January thaw in early January with a ton of rain. This took away quite a bit of our snow accumulation. In a few days, however, winter returned. In one night the temperature fell through the bottom and dropped 50 degrees in one night. Locally our low was - 6 degrees below with blowing snow. It stayed below zero for three or four days and our snow returned. This has been a great winter so far for all the winter sports. There is still six more weeks of winter according to the groundhog. It's a great time to both be outside and to snuggle up next to the fire with a hot mug of chocolate and a good book. Rent some movies or work a puzzle. It's a great time to kick back and relax. Enjoy every day and all it has to offer.
