The October blizzard. Every single year. Just when you think you've gotten away without it, it comes. And it almost always falls the last week. Just enough to freak you out for Halloween but alas, as always, it will be cold and clear.
We hunkered down this year for the storm and got to spend the day in our jammies (of course, I say the day...the storm still continues with another 8" expected).
Even Humpty Pumpky froze.
I do however, embarrassingly admit that since having Harper, I have spent way too many days in my jammies.
It kills me when Mason is talking to his daddy around noon and let's him know that mommy is still in her jammies.
Busted.
I have to say that I love living in
Sorry relatives in
Mason (now 4) is able to fully dress himself in snow gear. Minus his gloves but that is quite tricky!
He'll be making his snowboarding debut in the 2026 olympics. He's looking forward to perfecting his skills this year as he yet again, snowboards down the icy driveway on a piece of wood...hence the "boarding".
I am quite thrilled about him getting himself ready since he goes in and out a minimum of 4 times a day. Yesterday it was for a maximum of about 5 minutes since with the windchill it was under 20 degrees.
Why does he ask for hot chocolate every time he comes in?
Not that I blame him!
We made popovers for breakfast. Oh so yummy. I'll share the recipe with you. Nice pipping hot with butter and jelly and a hot cup of coffee...or hot chocolate.
Have I enticed you??
Mmmhhh...I love hot chocolate but it makes Harper throw up so I have to skip it. Speaking of miss Harper Mae, look who smiled for you despite the blizzard and the brother who kept rubbing his sweet pink, freezing cheeks on her?
Here's the popover recipe:
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup WONDRA flour
½ tsp salt
Whisk eggs lightly; stir in milk, stir in flour and salt just until blended (do not beat)
Spray 6 custard cups and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 425 for 25 min.

What is WONDRA flour?
Harper Mae is TOO CUTE. So is Mason.
Love you guys!
WONDRA is a smooth flour, used to thicken gravy among other things! It's pretty inexpensive but as far as I know, you can only use that kind in popovers.
wondering the same thing about the flour. i dont think ihave heard of it. i will look for it though. my family loves anything to do with bread!
ok, correction. I checked Paula Deen's website and apparently, it doesn't matter. It's just something my mom has always done!
Sweet...I might make popovers this weekend! :)
No apologies necessary...I would take snow over 91% humidity ANYDAY!! I can't even tell you how jealous I am of ya'll right now!! PS...if it makes you feel any better I've had to give up my splenda treats because it makes Taryn puke. :)
I love popovers and used to make them all the time but haven't in years. Never used WONDRA flour before, I will have to try that with them sometime. Have you ever made cinnamon sugar buttera and put them on popovers, its the best. you just soften butter slightly and whip in cinnamon and sugar. HMM...its tasty!
That sounds like something your mom would do. What the heck is non-WONDRA flour....rough flour? How the freaking crap is flour not smooth?
And Jen is on to something. Cinnamon and sugar is MUCH tastier.
I love you babe. Thanks for being such a cool mom and a great cook.
