Warding off winter woes

butterscotch chip cookies
The day was going smoothly until I looked out my window. It looked like something was flying through the air. I hoped it was merely dust blowing in the wind as I walked towards the window to get a closer look. Oh yes, the air was filled with the first flurries of the year. The flakes weren't very substantial, but still -- you can't refute visible proof. Winter is on its way.

The only remedy for this: cookies with lots and lots of butterscotch chips. Using the recipe I posted about in July, I whipped up a batch, got warm by the oven, and pretended that cookies are pure health, with no bad ingredients. The smell, the taste -- it was definitely enough to ward off the woes. Now, looking for something to put under the plate to take a picture, and having the red placemats literally jump out and fall at my feet -- that was a cruel joke of the universe.

But how do you handle those winter woes, or keep yourself warm on the increasingly cold nights?*

*Unless you live somewhere warm, and then I both hate and envy you.

The farmer's markets are done after next week too. Today's farmer's market (that is, the one I was at) had fewer vendors than usual and one vendor said that they wouldn't be there next week even though it will be the final market of the season.

To answer your question, in the context of food: Homemade soup. Chili. Root vegetables.

In general: Fleece blankets and fleece socks.
