Sunday lunch

The Boy is a kitchen god.



Roast pork tenderloin, all adobo-ed up with garlic, rosemary, thyme and sage.

Sharing the roasting pan: carrots, baby red-skinned potatoes and beets.

The beet greens got a quick steam before being tossed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Apparently it's gonna snow another 5-10 inches before the end of tomorrow. But right now, I don't care.

Hey, Finley! Check out this snow!

Finley, your mum told me you're disappointed because your toboggan is just sitting there, waiting for snow, and you don't have any.

Well, I can't send you real snow for Christmas (I think it would melt in the box before it got to your house), so this will have to do for now.

This was the view from our front window last week:



The snow at the end of the street was piled into a big hill:



It was very pretty at first:



But every time it snows, we have to shovel the path and dig out the car. Some people don't bother to do that:



You can see all our snow pictures here.

And here's a cool video someone else made of the snowstorm in Boston last February:



Maybe one day you can come and visit us in winter. Until then, I'll try and wish some snow in your direction!!
