Folding In Fun

3/15/2023

Snow day!

What a gift! Yet my to-do list was even higher than the twenty inches of snow piling up outside my window.

But I made a promise to myself as dawn broke. Fold in fun as the day goes along.

I started by making homemade waffles. The recipe called for separating the eggs and beating the whites until they stiffened. So, I did and then I held the bowl of egg whites upside down over my head to see if they stood up to the test. They did.


So much fun!

Then I made the waffles, giggling to myself the whole time as I thought about the Schitt’s Creek episode where David tries to figure out how to “fold-in” the cheese to Moira’s “homemade” recipe.

So much fun!

Finally, I ate a warm, airy waffle with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. That was so much fun I barely remembered to take a photo in time.

​Whatever your day holds, remember to fold in some fun.

Oh, I love the idea of "folding in" some fun! I usually think of it as bribing myself to accomplish something and I much prefer your lens! I spent a fair amount of time working yesterday but also read, watched the birds, and enjoyed the warmth of the wood stove. Mild fun, but fun nonetheless.

Hi Molly,
You and I sound very similar. I'm basking in the pellet stove's heat as I respond to you. Thanks so much for reading.

My favorite part is the photo of you holding the batter over your head. But the sleeve of your pajamas is what adds to the fun! Love this and I'm glad you had giggle and fluffy waffles to start your day

Hi Cindy,
Yes! my pajamas rock. They are twenty-years-old and they are as comfortable as they were twenty years ago. And yes, you're right, they're fun!

That does look like fun! I love the list that was as high as the snow. My list, I'm pretty sure, was higher than the snow because we got a LOT less than you did!

I love the description of how you folded in the fun with those phenomenal-looking waffles! And 20 inches of snow?!?! We never get more than 10–I can only imagine how beautiful your winter wonderland looks right now!
