It's almost February. Does that mean winter is almost over? I sure hope so. Even though my travel plans have been cancelled and it's been insanely cold, I've still managed to make the most of it. Comical attempts at cross country skiing counts, right? Ice skating on a lake is most definitely a highlight. The buzzword lately has been 'hygge' have you heard of it? NPR turned me on to it. Hygge (pronounced hYOOguh) is a Danish word which basically means cozy. It definitely is about making the small things count and to live in the moment. Winter doldrums are no fun but if you light a fire and have good conversation then even the coldest nights can be wonderful. Of course, for me that means that if we bust out the games then a delightful time can certainly be had!
How about some hot chocolate and board games (may I suggest Othello for two or The Great Dalmuti for five or more?) to make it through yet another cold winter's night.
Crack open my cooking rag and you shall find:
