Snow
flurries all day. Chree and I assembled
the Davis Instruments Vantage Vue® professional-quality weather station that Santa
brought me for Christmas. The data that
sensor suite provides is accurate enough that NOAA will accept it for
forecasting purposes. The sensor package
eventually will be mounted on the sun room roof, but, as the roof was slick
with snow today, we elected to set it up temporarily over top of the septic
tank on the west side of the house.
Merry (super generous person that she is) gave Chree the 1968 edition of
Julia Child’s The French Chef Cookbook
for Christmas. So, in what I hope will
become a long-running tradition, Chree made salpicon de volaille (diced chicken
in white wine sauce, for those of you whose French is a little rusty) for the
four of us to have for dinner. The
Lapidii, just back from 10 days in Jamaica, were looking decidedly tanned. The dinner, as always when Chree does the
cooking, was delicious… and fun.
