Now that Christmas is over, I can catch up on the blog. We had a great Christmas - more on that later. For now, let's look at some food. I made this crockpot stew before Christmas. I added just a little tomato paste to the liquid and it not only made the stew taste better but it gave it a beautiful sheen.
I also make spaghetti sauce using only our yellow tomatoes. We had one heirloom tomato plant that make lovely small yellow tomatoes. For color, my dh suggested that I put peas and pancetta into the sauce. The sauce had a wonderful tartness to it.
On one occasion of getting 8 inches of snow, we made snow ice cream.
As some of you know, we've gotten a lot of snow up here. The children have a canyon of snow along our front sidewalk.
The snow drifted down to the egress windows in the basement as well.
We also had gym class where the boys loved climbing on the huge mounds of snow around the parking lot.
And now for some art-y snow pictures.

Delicious-looking spaghetti sauce! What is pancetta?

Pancetta is Italian smoked cured meat kinda like bacon. Only more expensive. You can also eat it out of the package or you can saute with it.
