On the Monday evening leading up to New Year's Day, the supper was simple for the five of us gathered around the table: sheet pan beef nachos. Nicely flavored, gooey with lots of cheese, the satisfying crunch of the underlayer of tortilla chips...a decent repast for dinner. Or so I was told.

It got colder faster this fall, and I'll make note of the fact that the high temps on 23 days in November were below average. In the first three weeks of December, 13 of 21 days were below average high temps. Fortunately, we entered a nice warm-up as we headed into the two weeks surrounding Christmas. The Monday afterwards was a gloriously sunny and wonderfully warm day:
