Brrr, it's cold! Snow is on the way for us. This will be the first weekend of snow, which means unploughed streets, cars getting stuck on hills, buses re-routing or not showing up at all, and all of that fun stuff. Hopefully, my commute to and from work will not be too disrupted.
So that's the outside. Inside, we've been keeping toasty warm of course, and have been eating warming foods.
db made a stuffed focaccia; something he hasn't done in a long time (as in ever since I and then he gave up cheese and became vegan). Now that we have daiya in our life, he realized that it was possible to make a stuffed focaccia. He also put chanterelles (did I mention he found more a couple of weeks ago in our trusty spot in the woods?) and pine nuts in the bread. Oh yum.
I had cooked a Sugar Pumpkin with intentions on making a pie, but...of course...my busy schedule kept delaying the inevitable.
My co-worker, jh, had mentioned how someone had brought a pumpkin soup to the potluck, and how much she enjoyed it. Just her talking about the soup made me want to make my own.
I even had Sour Supreme on hand to put a little in the center to help cool the soup's heat. It turned out quite well, and was perfect on a chilled night in whoville.
Now if I can just get to the baking!

I am insanely jealous that you still have chanterelles! Everything here is frozen solid.
Yeah, have fun with that snowfall, eh? We will get it, too. But at least it will warm up. It's been -15C here all week!
MMmmm, pumpkin soup. That does sound good.
All mushrooms in Edmonton said farewell months ago, so enjoy your chanterelles!
