Top Two Tuesday's favorites for today!

Happy Fat Tuesday!!  I personally consider everyday a FAT day, because they are my favorite!  Especially when they are SNOW DAYS!!!!  My favorite days in winter are not everybody's favorite.  Some people just get outright unruly when we have too many of these lovely, wonderful snow days.  Me, oh well, I would personally rather be doing recess duty in the warmer weather in May, than in the very cold December, January, February, and now March months!!  I realize not everyone gets to have snow days, some people actually have to go to their jobs no matter the weather.  (Boo! I really do feel for you - seriously)  I know school kids are supposed to enjoy these days more so than the teachers, but this teacher really needed some mental health days.  So, here's the picture of the beautiful sleetfall/with snow on top that I took at 2:30 in the am.

First Favorite for this Tuesday

My second favorite for today happens to be Taco Soup!   I first tried Taco Soup when I taught at Zalma.  We would have lunches once a month (or more, cause we all liked to eat!) for various celebrations, or just because.  Tina Huffman (Erika's momma), brought this yummy soup, and since it is soooooo easy to make, I added it to my recipe box.  We have it in the winter time at least once every two weeks!  Everybody in the family likes it except for picky Ashley and pickier Aimie (I really don't mind that they don't like it though, just leaves me leftovers - cause it is REALLY good as leftovers!!).  Here's a picture, and the recipe so you, too, can enjoy!
