Magic is in the air. Earliest snow in Houston ever on December 4th. It is large flakes mixed with rain now but it is supposed to turn to all snow this afternoon. The weather forecast has been predicting snow for today for almost a week. I imagine today is a bit like Ireland.
When you have snow you have to celebrate properly. I am heating the spa now so I can soak in the heat with the flakes falling. I also called County Cork O'Conaill Chocolates to make sure I have the right recipe for hot chocolate from their fabulous chips I purchased this summer. 50 grams of chips to 200 ml hot milk is perfect. (2 oz chips to about 7 oz milk).
Last night was birthday number 55 for Cherry. We celebrated at The Grove downtown. The wood grilled salmon, grilled corn/jicama/tomato vinagrette was the most popular dish at our table and the fried gulf shrimp with red jalapeno ginger sauce was declared to be the best she ever had by Kacie. The Turley 2007 Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel was a great wine with a fragrant bouquet of spice and lots of dark berries, fruit, and licorice, peppery and lingering acidity thoughout. Try this one if you can find it. And of course there was Moeller's Bakery cake and Bluebell mint chocolate chip to finish off a great evening.
