The Monday, Monday post is late as usual, but better late than never, right? Turns out we didn’t get the massive snow “event” that everyone wanted, but schools are still closed, the subways are still not running, and we have a lovely day of winter wonderland-ness to experience.
When you’re tired of snowball fights and sledding, if that’s even possible, here are a few ideas of things to do:
Watch Ernest and Celestine, a lovely Oscar-nominated animated feature about the unlikely friendship between a bear and a mouse. With the voices of Forest Whitacker, Lauren Becall and Jeffrey Wright, you can’t really go wrong.
Get a jump on Valentine’s Day (and use some of that felt you have lying around) by weaving some felt heart baskets.
Make an herbal vinegar tincture to get rid of that lingering cold. You probably have all of the ingredients in your cupboard already!
ok this post is being interrupted in order to go play outside. More later…
I’m back, it’s a day later, and while the world has returned to normal (with everybody complaining about the storm’s poor showing) there are still a few things I’d like to add to this post. Just in case a real storm hits and we really need to hunker down.
The NY Times served up a cooking-for-the-storm playlist of recipes that is great even when the sun is shining…
Curl up with your kids and read them a great book. Like Alice in Wonderland, preferably the delicately psychedelic edition illustrated by Yayoi Kusama.
Last but not least, run over to Zero Maria Cornejo and buy her alpaca “Trek” pullover and never be cold again. And make it quick because the sale ends on Sunday.
