Weather outside is ... you can guess

Something I wanted to do today was upload a picture of the gingerbread house Ray and I made. Mostly me, because while Ray helped raise the walls and mix the icing (it was a kit, no baking involved), he did one side of the roof with icing and just gave up. He said he got frustrated with his lack of creativity and told me that he could not have had the "vision" for the outcome. Which is funny, because I just kind of go nuts and don't really have a vision.

But I don't have a cord for my camera. It is at my apartment, I can see it on the bookshelf. I could walk the three blocks, but you know what? The weather is snowy and windy and crazy. It is really kind of inhospitable for walking. And I especially know this because Ray and I went walking right before the snow really picked up.

We hit the town, walking down to the post office, to the library, to Waugh's, where Ray could get a new shirt, and to Kitchen Links, where we looked for a candy thermometer. But they had had a run on the things and the best we could do was a little clip for the top of the pot that would hold the cord of a digital plug-in above the metal rim of a pot.

Yes, we want to attempt Uncle Ed's melt-in-yer-mouth buttermilk fudge. If only we had the recipe.
