"S" is for Snow

Whoa we have had a lot of that S-word this Season and more Slammed us last night and all day today.  Multiple  S-words have been uttered over this overactive atmospheric phenomenon.  What about global warming?  Let's hear it for the W-words...wild, warm, welcoming...or weird as long as it does not involve frozen water.

I am thinking of starting a radio station called WSNO, with updates from all of the friends and relatives who are calling in.  It is amazing.

My Student visiting from Japan has not been able to go to School in Washington, DC all week.  She has been Sleeping and Sighing a bit, Sitting in front of the television, Seeing lots of SNOW and is a bit disappointed that her Washington adventure, which was to have begun five days ago (they were Stopped in Minneapolis and unable to travel to Washington for Several days), has Started So Slowly.  Arriving in Washington, DC after three days in Minnesota (where She Says She had too much Steak), she actually saw my Sidewalk before the latest Snowfall began.

She is SO SWEET.  She is polite and helpful, very Studious and Smart.  She amazed me with her SCRABBLE Skills and Scored well for a non-native English speaker.  Today she is reading The Great Gatsby in English.  She is also Spunky.  She ventured out on a walk in this blizzard this morning, to give the dog a chance to Sniff out a Suitable Spot for, well, you know...

SNOWY WEATHER S-WORDS

Hmph.  Not exactly what we would call Sunny!

Snowy Weather "S" Foods

Seafood Soup/Stew.  Filled with Shrimp, Squid, Scallops, cod and clams.  This is the most delicious seafood stew I have ever made (with skim milk, not cream) and there is enough for a crowd. Send me an email if you want the recipe (I created it).  It really is fantastic.

Strawberries.  Strawberries on hot oatmeal make a great breakfast.

Salad.  This is a fantastic accompaniment to Seafood Soup or most anything else.
