It's snowing!

Snow was forecast and snow came.

When I was driving to work there were a couple of wet flakes landing on the window screen however, by 10am it was coming down quite heavy. The snow eventually started to lie on the roofs but it was too wet to lie on the roads. Although I wouldn't call it snowman making snow, it was just as good, because the office got closed at 2pm!!

I got home and we went straight out shopping - why pay to heat the house when you can go out and about :) The snow stopped about 4pm and now the temperature is beginning to drop, so I should think the wet roads this evening will be fun.

The first shop we went to was the cowboy boot shop and wow are there a lot of styles of cowboy boots.

This morning, our Friday breakfast day (someone brings in breakie),we had a true Texan traditional of biscuits and gravy. The biscuits are a bit like scones and the gravy was white sauce with sausages. I was very tasty as all homemade by his wife :)

We went to try and buy a Christmas pudding this evening. Hmmm when I asked where are your Christmas puddings, the reply I got was - 'Christmas what?' We didn't have any luck, however a quick search on the Internet confirmed they are called plum puddings (but don't contain any plums!). But plum puddings are not sold in regular shops, only in the ethnic sections. So we cant make Nigella's mini Christmas puddings for our street 'turning on the lights' celebration on Sunday.

We are staying in this evening eating seasonal tortilla chips - plenty of red and green food colouring in these crisps!!

The duvet is now on the bed in preparation for the cold, cold night!
