hehe i have 2 bottles in my fridge right now…. they may be calling my name when i get home… will need something to prepare me to deal with the morning commute in pgh tomorrow
I am definitely craving sunlight – there’s not much of that here in Ithaca to go around. But trust…every time there is – I go get it!!! No matter how cold it is outside.
It is -2 below (Windchill is -11) and high today was 9 degrees on the eastern Colorado plains. I have long johns, thermals, wool cap, two pairs of socks plus a pair of thermal socks and a pair of sweats on. You should see what happens when I get one of my middle-aged hot flashes and frantically start tearing half of it off for 5 minutes. Not amusing.
We can’t get the sliding glass door to the patio open and I think everything out on the patio is frozen solid. It took us 15 minutes to get the front door open and once we did my husband (who was dressed like an Arctic explorer) screamed, slammed the door and threw the shovel down the hall. We have ice on the inside of some windows and I have no feeling in right hand unless I hold it under hot water. The pipes still work and we still have electricity, but by tonight, the winds will pick up and the wind chill is forecast to be somewhere between -14 and -25.
We would not be surprised to have misguided polar bears and penguins knocking on the door later. Which is okay…I did your roasted tomato pasta and I have a short rib barley stew going in the crock pot…and we plenty of wine and beer…bring it on.
I’d rather be there, too! Not here in New York City where every ice storm brings me THIS much closer to purchasing a ski mask and wearing it in public!
I’m with you! I could use a glass of wine too, but it’s generally not okay for pregnant women to drink. Luckily, drinking wine and summer will return around the same time for me this year.
Come to California! During my lunch today I had to roll down the windows in my car because I was too hot.
I honestly don’t understand why anyone chooses to live on the East Coast. I went to college in Ithaca NY and four years was enough of that shiz. Seriously.
Before you get too excited, think about this: Last night in Canberra, it was so hot that even though I went to bed at 2am, i still couldn’t sleep because bugs were landing on my body. True [gross] story.
I so wish I was there right now!
When I was in the store today I saw bathing suits (not kidding)! It was crazy especially crazy considering this morning was so cold I actually cried
I’m in South Florida and the weather has been great. I’m sorry to see and hear how awful the rest of the country is feeling with these winter storms. And I’m also sorry to report that our beaches are looking just as lovely as the ones in the photos you posted. :(
Those potato nachos look amazing! I think even my toddler will love those. Thanks for the big game recipe ideas!
I am so over the cold too. Here in Minnesota we’ve gotten more snow than we had last year for the entire winter….and it’s only February! I so want Spring or a vacation and I don’t see either one of those in the future anytime soon.
I am so with you on this one! I can’t wait for some warmth to show up!
We have so much ice covering everything it’s awful! So today I made Nutella Mallow Hearts, Luscious Lemon Pudding Cups, Cherry Tapioca and Cherry Almond Angel Cupcakes. Yep, baking and sugar overload!
the good news is that the groundhog did the right thing (i don’t know if he saw his shadow or not), but it means winter will be over soon!!! i have to cling to anything at this point, i’m SO over this cold.

p.s. thanks for the superbowl post
oh man. YES PLEASE take me there. We’re just waiting for a HUGE dump of snow over here… even the Chicagoans are running scared. Bad sign.
I’m sick of being sick. Winter needs to go away!
Oh man. Can I come? :)
Those pictures are making me tear up a little.
When you go to said places above, I will hitching a ride :)
Yay!!! I’m going to be in the sunshine soon!! My destination wedding is coming up fast! We leave in 10 days!!!!!!!!!!! woo hooooooooo
These photos just depressed the crap out of me. I live in Boston, just to give you an idea of what I’m dealing with up here. Le sigh.
I’m with you on this one.
I hear you…I hear you.
I am definitely craving sunlight – there’s not much of that here in Ithaca to go around. But trust…every time there is – I go get it!!! No matter how cold it is outside.
I want to go with you to this place
Come to San Diego! Seriously I feel bad for everyone who doesn’t live here.
I hear you sista! I am so over winter.
You and me both, sister! I’m ready to pack my bags!!!

Ditto!
I am seconding this! I am so over the weather right now!
Things I’m craving: warm nap on the beach, an ice cream sundae, a long massage, the smell of sunscreen, and a can’t-put-down book!
You know we love our Reisling. We will consume bottles after May 7th. haha
I’d rather be there, too! Not here in New York City where every ice storm brings me THIS much closer to purchasing a ski mask and wearing it in public!
You and me both, sista.
Oh amen to this. I am so sick of this crap!
Oooh, I’d rather be there, too! That sunset is making me swoon.
Amen. Your photos are heavenly and took us all to a place we would rather be! Thanks for this!

OVER IT.
I live in Brazil! You could come visit us!!! We have yummy steak, and all of our desserts have at least a can of condensed milk in them! =D
I’m totally with you. Snow, snow, go away!!
I totally agree. Get this ice and snow outta here already!
Those photos have me itching for a vcay! I could also use a glass or maybe a bottle of some white wine right about now too!
I’m with you! I could use a glass of wine too, but it’s generally not okay for pregnant women to drink. Luckily, drinking wine and summer will return around the same time for me this year.
Should I mention that it’s currently 74 degrees and sunny here in Tampa? ;)

I’m with you, so over winter- the cold, the layering, freezing when I step out of bed in the morning. I miss the sun!
I wanna go !
totally agree – NJ is not treating me well – I try to make do by looking at all of the spring clothes online!
Before you get too excited, think about this: Last night in Canberra, it was so hot that even though I went to bed at 2am, i still couldn’t sleep because bugs were landing on my body. True [gross] story.
I would cry. I despise bugs.
I screamed into my pillow :P
I so wish I was there right now!
