I shoveled the porch, steps, and a path to the car this morning. Cleaned most of the car off and went to get an oil change. Came home and thought I ought to make sure they heating oil delivery guy could get to the back of my house where the hookup is. I then realized a few things: the guy who'd been plowing hadn't realized how much snow we'd get over the winter and the back of my driveway was full of snow, now up to 5' or more. The path to the back WAS blocked, and the snow at its lowest point (next to the house) was up to my thighs, and it wasn't all snow. Had a couple layers of ice crust in there, too. I got some of it, but will have to do this in successive trips. It's OK, though- I have oil and the guy comes on Fridays.

Tomorrow, I make Hungarian mushroom soup, originally the recipe was from the Moosewood Cookbook. I changed it some: no flour or milk or parsley, but more paprika and dill. You could probably make it without the sour cream, but the color is just too gorgeous not to add it (IMO). I once screwed up and used curry powder instead of paprika, and it was also great, but not as pretty.
