snows & then some chili

yesterday all it did was snow. even when the sky would clear for a moment, the snow would keep falling from the trees. it coated everything in a soft layer. and the day seemed in a quiet hush.

but today it was sunny, and the world outside seemed all back to normal.

most of the time i do the cooking. this is mostly just because I like to.
but every so often he decides to take it over.
this afternoon I could hear sounds of pots & pans clanking together, vegetable chopping, and some various sizzling noises. the kitchen was full of preparation. 

two pots of chili, one with lots of meat & one with lots of vegetables.
and it was tasty. and so much was made, we'll be eating it for awhile.
