No school snow day!

I swear I was just as excited as an eight-year-old last night when I learned today school would be closed for the snow.  No snow day is like a Monday snow day.  And, even better?  Knowing that tomorrow is a snow day, too!  Another 10-20 inches of snowfall are expected in DC today through tomorrow, and it almost does feel like this blizzard could last forever.   Or at least could snow us in nearly until next weekend.  

To celebrate this morning without an alarm and without anything but big sweaters and quilts to block out the wind whipping through the crack in my window, I had to be creative with the contents in the fridge.  Afterall, stores basically only opened Sunday or Monday, and certainly without fresh produce.   

Menu:
Three-egg cheese, onion & jalepeno omelette (#38)
Bacon
Coffee!

I'm not an omelette eater.  In fact I like eggs made one way: burnt.  Or at least that is what my dad always says I like.  It is a texture thing.  It doesn't mean I can't make a good one for a friend, though!  Of utmost importance here, which I learned when I was a waitress at a little cafe on the beach during summers on the Jersey shore, is to beat the eggs very fast to get as much air as possible in them.  Oh, and sauteing the ingredients first! 

And, despite it not being on my plate, I had a bite...or two, and it was delicious!
262 to go...
