Last night I decided to make a really fun meal. I started out by making Italian Stuffed Tomatoes". Then I decided to make Chicken and Rice (should have made noodles). This led to making Bruschetta and Alfredo Sauce which was delicious. It actually turned out very well. To top it all off, I made Cinnamon Rolls to eat after we decorated the tree.
Italian Stuffed Tomatoes
5 Tomatoes
2 Eggs, Hard Boiled
3 Anchovy Fillets
2 T Capers
6 oz. Tuna
2 T Parsley, Finely chopped
1 c. Mayo
8 Basil, fresh and torn
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cut off the top of the tomatoes and hollow out the insides being careful NOT to break the skin. Turn upside down to drain. Dice eggs, anchovy, and 1 T. capers. Mix into mayo and tuna. Add parsley. Salt and pepper the inside of each tomato. Fill with tuna mixture. Top with basil and remain, whole capers. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour. Serve cold.

Yesterday afternoon it started to snow. However, the REAL storm didn't happen until late into the night. By morning it had snowed at least 18 inches. Our neighbor, Doug Moss, was so very kind and used his NEW snow blower on our driveway so that we could get out to go to church. I awoke at 7:00 to the sound of his snow blower moving the snow.
It snowed ALL day. Late this afternoon Forrest started moving snow around the mailbox. We LOVE getting mail and know that the mail woman won't leave it if she can't get to the mailbox. I joined him and together we moved snow in the driveway (yes it was covered AGAIN!). After 2 hours and Alex, Addison and Amberlyn joining in on all the fun, we were able to clear the driveway and 1/2 of the circle drive. Addison asked why we were bothering to clear the circle. It was very understanding when I explained that the propane truck would be coming to fill our 1000 gallon tank and that if the driver couldn't get to our tank we would be without a warm house and there would be no HOT water.
Watson had to get into the act of moving snow. He used his nose and plowed through the soft powder making wandering little paths. He really liked to be right where I was moving the snow so that he could sniff out any rodents or other undesirable creatures. His attentiveness made it a little difficult to work as he was always in the way of the shovel.
