Okay so we totaled 16 inches of snow in two days. I would have called it a blizzard, but I guess the winds weren't fast enough, though it was windy. The hot chicken noodle soup and hot chocolate I made was perfect for the snow plower named... Max and snow angel Alta (having fallen into a large drift covering her head, but was rescued by her dad). To keep us entertained during this long few days Max had rented some different Wii games and we watched an older movie Space Jam, from my own collection. I made a great caramel popcorn recipe I got off another blog to enjoy with the movie... It rocked and it was quick. Here is the recipe....
Tri C's popcorn (Caramel, Cashews, Chocolate)
In sauce pan melt 2 sticks of butter. Add 2 cups brown sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup, and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp vanilla. It will become foamy and rise. Cook 3 bags of microwave popcorn. Remove old maids. In a very large bowl pour the caramel over the popcorn. Add 1 can of cashew halves, and a bag of milk chocolate chips after stirring the caramel over the popcorn. Let cool.
(Don't forget to brush your teeth after such a sticky treat)
This was a nice treat to end such a snowy day.

Popcorn looks good! Thanks for the recipe.
brush my teeth? you have to be kidding...you can enjoy it longer if you don't brush. Oh wait, you are a dentist's daughter and an oral hygienst yourself...it figures.
