Today I’m sharing our January Mountain Moments. When I started this blog in 2013, it was a form of diary to document what we did and most importantly what we ate. Sometimes I get so caught up in sharing our delicious food, I forget about all the stuff in between.
So here’s a little recap of what happened the month of January in and outside of our mountain kitchen. #MountainLife
In Need of A Snow Day
I keep hearing people talk about how LONGGGGGGG January is. I guess it’s because they don’t like the cold weather. However, I feel like January has flown by! I guess that is because I am in desperate need of a snow day. One of those days when it snows heavy enough to keep both David and I home safe on the mountain, where we can enjoy naps, soup, snow cream, and a nice warm fire.
It snowed earlier in January, but we were already at work and it stopped by the time we got back to the mountain. I’m so glad it was still daylight when we got home. The snow-covered mountain was absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad we live in a place where we can experience all four seasons.
Are you a snow lover?

“I appreciate so much the recipes. I love to cook and have learned to try your spice recipes. I love them. I just bought a smoker and have started making each of your spices,and labeled the dates to each. I also have bought a mortis and pestle too. I love your cancer story. I lost my son to colon cancer at 22 years old. He was my only son. With being deeply sadden over our loss I found giving to Saint Jude, and cooking I am trying to keep busy. I am a nurturer . I have a passion for cooking. I have bought spice books to learn the history and origins. I make extracts of every kind. Just made lemon extract.
I wanted to thank you so much for your web site. You have given your blessing to me and I thank you and your wonderful husband for that. I live in Sanford North Carolina. We live to enjoy the blessing of our lord.”

AROUND THE MOUNTAIN!!
This is not confirmed, but it is with great sadness I report that José has gone to Jalapeño Heaven. José has been featured on this blog for the past 5 years. We can only hope that there is life somewhere down in there, but I’m afraid it just doesn’t look good for poor José … 😢
