Waiting for Snow

This has really been a relatively mild winter here in upstate New York, but it appears as though we're finally getting a snowstorm--the dreaded Noreaster. They're forecasting up to 2 feet--or more--of the white stuff for tonight through tomorrow night. So far this winter, I think we've only had about a foot of snow total.

The snow and the wind and blizzard-like conditions being forecast make me want soup. I love soup, and I can eat it for every meal. This is chili weather, and last week I made some of the best chili ever. I've mentioned Better than Boullion before on this blog, in reference to their chicken base. But, they have a chili base to die for. I dumped everything in the Crockpot and let'er rip. Ooh, it was good that night, the next, the next, and I'm sure that when I thaw what's in the freezer, it'll taste wonderful, too.
