baby, it's cold outside

Winter has hit LA. Well, sort of.  As much as the sun shines and the rain stays away, there is a cold season here. You feel it at night almost immediately when the sun goes down.  They call this chilly spell of two months or so, winter. As crazy as it sounds, I'm looking forward to being back in cold as sin, Springfield, for what some might call a bitter "wintery" holiday. The best part of the season, aside from being with friends and family and an endless supply of carols is the comfort foods that make the season a bit more tangible- and edible! There's nothing better than enjoying a hot bowl of yummy food while the snow falls outside... that's one of winters little gifts.
