A picture is worth a thousand words
and this picture only begins to tell the tale
of the huge blizzard in the Mt Sasta area of California.
Granted-they need the snow-but the destruction
was not an added bonus.
Our friends in Weed are digging out and revving up
their chain saws to take care of trees on barn roofs
and on their acreage. Good thing they have a woodstove!

Meanwhile- here in Oregon we are enjoying
finding new places for a sip or two and
several bites of yummy food.
This photo was taken at Prost. A new German pub
in a beautifully renovated house on N Mississippii
in North Portland.

And finally....we had out of town guests from Baker City
last weekend-so I tried out a Sticky Pecan Caramel Rolls
recipe from the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day
cookbook.....delicious and we ate the whole thing!

Next on my list of breads to try is the Buttermilk Bread
and the Cinnamon Raisin Bread......burp....pardon me!
