Soup in the rain

[crafty_packrat]

Made it to sanj's fine, though when the train went from CSX rails to the Vermont rails, the ride got much worse -- very shaky and bumpy.

Spent yesterday tootling around Burlington, starting with the farmer's market. There were some absolutely delicious cider donuts, and some gorgeous leeks. I made St. Patrick's Cheese soup last night, which we ate with crusty bread.

We also stopped at one of the local yarn shops, and I found the cutest baby hat ever Flore (bluebell) for KassRachel's sproglet-to-be.

We're heading up to Montreal this morning -- it's been raining since I got here (literally, it was raining when I got off the train) so we might not get to enjoy the botanical garden, but there will be a Polish cafe by dinner time.

I'm going to try finding a massage place and make an appointment for when we get back. I might as well indulge myself on this trip, since it's all about relaxing and getting over my work-related stress.

Don't you still have the two gift certificates for massages that I gave you last Christmas?

Someplace I do, but I want a massage now, after that bone rattling train ride.

What on earth are cider donuts? They sound delicious. And the cheese soup is starting to make me hungry.

Donuts made with apple cider. They're GOOD.

WE are in Tahoe and it snowed last night. Most of the snow is staring to melt although the snow on the mountains should probably stay for now, unless there is a warm spell.

You're in Tahoe? Did you tell me you were going?

Are you guys going skiing?
