Sublime snowflakes

Today we had a somewhat light snowfall, ahead of Sunday’s blizzard. I got a few photos of them as they were truly breathtaking, picture perfect like I’m not sure I’d ever seen before.

The pics won’t do them justice, but hopefully they’ll give you some idea of how beautiful they were.

Tonight's weather..

We're looking to have about a foot of snow in total by this time tomorrow. When we get up in the morning we'll have 4+ inches to shovel off the driveway and back patio, the latter because otherwise Kodiak will urinate on it as he's old and silly. X-) After that we'll have 1.5-2" per hour until lunchtime.

Stay warm out there!

Tip for making all gluten-free baking recipes work better

Over the past few months my wife has been testing out some gluten-free recipes for baked goods - brownies, various breads, etc. Some of them have been boxed kits, others have been from scratch. Along the way one recipe recommended to let the prepared mix stand in their final baking dish for about 30 minutes prior to cooking, to give the ingredients time to rise. She did this for the one recipe that suggested it and it turned out to making a notable difference in how light and puffy the final result was.
