Who asked for ice?

Not me, but that's exactly what we received today. About a half inch on top of the 20 plus inches of snow we already have on the ground. Feeling snowbound Angela and I even went outside and sled down the hill a few times! Spring... were are you? The only benefit to all this weather is that it allows us to stay home, enjoy each others company and drive each other CRAZY! But all joking aside it has been nice to work from home and spend time with the kids.

Given the fact that we tortured Mariesa last week with the snapper, Mario and I have decided to cook her a "make up" meal. With Mariesa's approval, we have decided on the Bucatini all'Amatriciana - Bucatini with Bacon and Tomato (page 185) and will also bake her a Parozzo - Chocolate Cake from Abruzzo (page 466).

To all our readers dealing with snow and ice in Chicago, New York, and believe it or not, El Paso and Del Rio, stay warm and safe!
