Yes it is just the beginning of January but the snow season has not been in Ottawa very long. I reminded my father today, sitting looking over his Rideau Place accommodation, that this was the "winter" of a green December and a green Christmas up until it really snowed Dec.28th evening well into Dec.29th for about 25 centimetres.
This being Jan. 3rd. I made the most I could of the new fallen snow and went for the second time on a cross-country ski. My first was New Year's Day. The Gatineau hills are only about 22 minutes away so it is an activity that can be fitted into about a two or three hour framework since I ski for only about an hour...without really stopping.
Good exercise but it also seems to clear the mind for better ideas and plans for the future. Certainly better than sitting on the proverbial couch and contemplating a million possible things to do and then do nothing.
Adrienne who may be my only blog follower cooked another spectacular gourmet dinner. Inspired by a Mexican cook book, she put together a beef, browned onions, mangos, cilantro, and other ingredients taco. The freshness of the recipe is bolstered by plenty of lime juice so that it combines with the beef and combines with the mango salsa ingredients to make for a very flavourful and a bit spicy taco. More Mexican recipes may be planned.
