Winter is fucking ace.
Snow. Therefore skiing. All else does not matter. I can take or leave Christmas.

It's ace
if you're on holidays. If you have to go to work and the road is full of ice and snow, it's not so cool.

I made sugar and cinnamon almonds,
chilli salted cashews. And a few other bits.
I might do the same again this year but with more expensive stuff.
You can get the ingredients from the supermarket rather than the proper shops which I tend to avoid from about now until february.

those sound good
how did you go about it?

chilli cashews are a piece of piss.
bunch of chopped chillis in olive oil over night then the next day fry unsalted cashews in the oil in small batches until they're brown toss them in rock salt.
I'll try to find the sugar almond recipe.

I understand you were excited
It's a good recipe. I might do a few of those for Mark, and something else.

I have to take the train
Which gets delayed all the time, and then walk for 20min on the ice. It's not fun.

It took me twice as long last winter to walk to work
because the ice was so bad. Although the streets were pretty deserted so I got to play 'zombie apocalypse'.
