ice storm

Another day off, and it was the perfect day to stay inside one's warm abode and cook. It's been raining and sleeting all day long, and with temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, the roads are pretty treacherous. I was so grateful to not have to be out in it.

I finally completed the braised short ribs with parsnips that I started over the weekend. The recipe said that the meat should be falling off the bone when done, and falling off the bone it is! I made a pot of garlic mashed potatoes using Yukon Golds (the best variety for mashing, in my experience) and gobs of butter, and the smells wafting through the house are irresistible. I hope the boys are hungry when they get home from work.
