Yesterday we spent the day inside because of the snow storm going on outside. It snowed all day and into the evening. I think we got about 8 inches, which was much less than the 3ft originally predicted. Since we knew that we'd pretty much be inside all day, we had made plans for inside entertainment.
Dad made us brunch at exactly 11:15. We had ployes and vegan sausage. Ployes are a traditional French Acadian pancake and my dad makes them perfectly...nice and thin. They are great with syrup and fruit - yum!
Mum and I decorated the tree on and off most of the day. She and dad have so many ornaments. Many bring back wonderful memories from growing up and she has a number that I'm not as familiar with, but that are quite beautiful. I, of course, want to look at each one which makes trimming the tree a longer process. I think the tree looks great!
In the afternoon I cut up some "tud" (fudge for those of you that don't know the family pronunciation, thanks to my niece Sarah) that I made on Saturday. I made the recipe from The Joy of Vegan Baking and it's the first time I've made fudge. I think it's pretty good and my dad does too as he can't stop eating it.
For dinner I made some curried couscous with cranberries and garlic roasted brussel sprouts, along with some leftover white bean and garlic stew. All very tasty!!
It was a terrific snowy Sunday. Something I haven't had in a long, long time. Here are a couple more snowy pics...
