Hemmed in as we were by the back-to-back winter weather events, I went into the foodstuff reserves in order to make dinner for three of us on Monday evening of last week. That made me glad for some stored-away Cuban pulled pork that served as the heart of a large sheet pan of nachos. Oh, of course there was onion and black beans, a fair amount of corn, and an abundance of Mexican cheese atop the bed of tortilla chips. A fresh batch of well-garlicked lime crema was a figurative cherry on top.
Each day of that first full week of February involved some measure of time tackling the driveway. I'd only cleared the ice pack partially, and then we got two-thirds of a foot of marvelous snow the next weekend. I had plenty to do out there.
You know: like make a path across the driveway to get to the less treacherous strip of yard along the south property line, where the pooches take care of all of their needs.
As I'd mentioned, Scarlett is well-suited to the snow cover. She loves being out in it, sniffing here and there, lying flat upon the snow and/or ice pack, ready to flick and fling icy chunks and snowy splinters whilst she leaps and yaps and nudges Sumner to play along. But let's also all celebrate how marvelous they are about getting out there and doing their business promptly and in designated locations and, at least for Scarlett, on an incredibly regular schedule.
