We didn’t get much snow. Just enough to be pretty and entertain the animals.
Both the cat and dog love the cold and snow. I let them run around in it before too many people were out and about. Chupa is not even remotely under voice control but I wanted to let him run free a bit without a leash. He can strike terror in your heart if he starts chasing and barking at you.
He’s cute but vigilant in his defense of the yard.
A little dusting on these beautiful green leaves.
It has started snowing again since I’ve been putting this post together but you’re just going to have to imagine it a little frostier. My journalistic integrity begs me to inform you of this change in condition but it isn’t strong enough to make me go out and take more photos.
I recently bought this cake mix on sale at Sam’s Club. You know it’s cheap when it’s on sale AND at Sam’s Club. I usually bake everything from scratch but I do like peppermint and chocolate together so I thought I’d risk the 2 bucks and give it a try. We like the Krusteaz waffle mix for quick breakfasts so I didn’t figure it was too risky of a purchase.
The cake was typical of a mix. I added water, one egg, and a stick of butter. The peppermint glaze was included although I crushed two peppermint candies and sprinkled them around for more color. I thought they would look artsy. They just look messy.
Another view. Still messy. Maybe a little bit artsy.
The best picture of all is this one because I’m about to eat the first slice. Perfect with cocoa for a chilly morning treat. Hope you are enjoying your frosty day.
It didn’t even taste like a box cake. It was good!
