We had about a foot of snow come in and blanket us this weekend. I couldn't believe what I heard come out of the girls' mouth..."I hope we have a snow day tomorrow and they close school." Are you kidding me??? No, off to school you will go..snow, hail, freezing rain...out of the house you will be !!
My husband said that Theo looks so black against the white snow. Right then, I have no idea why, but I immediately went to my mom's dessert that she used to make for us when we were little. Two ingredients from the 70's and I always felt like she worked all day and it was the most special treat for us to have on Sunday nights after our pot roast.
This worked out great since I am trying to rid of the extra pantry items for over the holidays. Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone, so to go with the black and white parfait I also created a black and white martini.
