The Coffee House

About half the slopes have opened out here:

They've been running the snow making wide open since the cold snap last week, so I suspect they'll start opening slopes fairly soon if the cold weather is here to stay.

Hi all!

Hope everyone has had a good holiday.

Haven’t been too active on here, apologies! In fact, haven’t left the house much and haven’t gotten much sleep, either.

I present to you, a little girl, only a couple weeks old:

You're going to have fun in a few years.

Congrat's.

Mary Lou is a big-time skier. Gary would rather look at snow than be in it ... face first.

It's one of those things from my past life, now cold and exercise don't go in the same sentence.

Sure they do: "I'm going to have a cold beer and exercise the remote control."

Well you can always stay in lodge watering hole and enjoy some nice hot toddies.

I have not been skiing in many many many years. I don't enjoy it very much. I used to go along and hang at the lodge while my friends were on the slopes but even that can be crowded and annoying on busy weekends. Now I am much happier to stay home and go to a movie or out to watch a football game instead of paying hundreds to be just a tad less than miserable.

@snowbear I like @benhasajeep idea better - hot buttered rum or maybe some really nice brandy. Something that warms from the inside. The Gluehwein I mixed up is pretty good also.

Congrats Wade! aw she's so cute, and big! looks nice and healthy. (I've just seen lots of little preemies so typical babies to me sometimes look huge! lol)

There is actually a place with skiing around here but I haven't heard if it's open yet. They have to make the snow for the most part. As kids we sled down our backyard hill and crashed into the trash cans. Maybe my interest in hockey started at a younger age than I realized.

Salted caramel pretzel what?? I'll have to look at that recipe!

I had pumpkin spice coffee this morning which is better than I thought it would be when I was grinding the beans (had a strange scent for coffee). I kept thinking it needed something and added a little cinnamon which did the trick.

Inspired by my own recipee I found some serious wine from my cellar, added some real quality spices and organic unrefined sugar ... seriously drunk now ... with guests

Frank presents: Glühwein!

Whatever Frank's got going there sounds pretty darn good.

Brandy and coffee is quite pleasing to the nose and the tongue.
