Snow Day, and a Smoked Green Beans

February snow


We are home bound  (snow bound) for today (?!) I dropped my son at school this morning just to get a call one hour later to come back and pick him up. Oh, well, weather, weather... 
Weather also changed my plans for today: I was planning on going to Fayetteville to  buy some food and an attachment for my Kitchen Aid. 
Oh, well, the weather is the boss...
So, I took my camera and here are some pictures of this snow day as we don't have it that often around here.


Kale. I heard it tastes better after the frost bite... 


Rosemary...


Parsley...


Rue...




and a nice warm lunch: buckwheat and a smoked green beans.



I made some desert too, please, come back soon!


Until next time,
Cowboy Country Vegetarian

  3. Oh my it looks cold where you are but those photos are so cool. Love the smoked beans. Is that really kale all snowed in? Where do you live, I am in Florida so this is a treat for me. Stop by and visit me sometime.

    1. Thanks Suzi! It is not usually that cold here in Arkansas. It was our first snow this season so far. Yes, that's my kale all snowed in, isn't it cool?! I just visited your blog, it's lovely.

    1. Thank you Liz. Is there a place where it's hot today?! I envy you. I don't like being cold. Even though Arkansas doesn't get so many snow days, I stil like it when it's warm.

  8. Your snow pictures are lovely and I don't even like snow (smile). Every time I think about your part of the world my ears ache. When I went to school there my ears were always cold and I could never get rid of the ache in the winter. Funny because it's not nearly as cold there as it is in the northeast, which I found out later when we lived in the Poconos.

    Stay warm, enjoy the snow day and happy Valentine's day.

    1. Thank you Sam! My part of the world is actually a few states southwest from Carolina's. :) Arkansas doesn't get that many snow/cold days usually. But you are right about ears part: mine are always cold in the winter too. Although, I don't know much as it is our second winter here. Happy V-Day to you too!

  12. Forgive me, I cant imagine gardening in snow. Too Temperate focussed I guess. It IS all what you are used to!
