The first snow has arrived! And lo, it has transformed our world into something rather glorious.
There’s very little traffic on the road these days, much less any traffic involving sirens. So when you hear the fire truck on the first Sunday evening in December, you run to the window and wave.
I love this time of year, when the ground becomes fleece. It happens when the ground is still warm but the air is freezing. Water gets drawn out of the soil via capillary action. As it hits the cold air it freezes. Meanwhile more water keeps being drawn up, and freezing, resulting in this amazing fleecelike pattern of ice. There’s no crimp, but the sheen is extraordinary.
Fun with leftovers, Thanksgiving edition! I got so lost in the tactile pleasure of making the pie dough, rolling it out, filling each pot pie and tucking it in that I forgot to film that part. But I used @ruhlman’s foolproof 3-2-1 pie dough (three parts flour, two fat, one water) and it worked like a charm, as always. May this inspire you to leave your future self some love notes in your own freezer.
