Friday: curry and snow

I have a problem - I can't estimate very well whether we need to shovel or not in the mornings. There are two primary reasons for this. 1) I have just woken up and so while I do have my glasses on, I can't see very well. I also have a poor time making judgments. 2) I don't have a "measuring stick" to see how much snow actually fell. I look at the driveway and guess. I'm usually wrong. If I can see driveway I guess we don't need to shovel (but then the drifts surprise me). If I can't see the driveway...I just guess. I thought it was only an inch this morning but it was closer to 4".

I made some curry tonight. At one point I was afraid it wasn't going to turn out but then the curry paste did a nice job of thickening it up. There's enough left to freeze for one meal too! Luckily I found some more room in the freezer; otherwise it would have had to go outside in the snow with the applesauce. We might need to get an additional little freezer for all these foods I keep making in bulk.
