Appreciate the pics. Canada looks to be a lovely place. I am in NH as well as Mary Emma–Manchester. We have about a foot of snow and some ice. The scenery is lovely. Don’t get out to the woods as much as I did when I was a child. What I noticed most about storms was what happened usually just before. There seemed to be a hush in the woods. Sometimes the hush was interrupted by the cry of a blue jay or the sound of the wind in the trees. It’s winter and I reminisce.

Mmm, traybake…

It’s a lovely dessert cake thing that I make… basically, chocolate, crunched up biscuits and maltesers (or caramel chunks, or cadburys mini eggs).

I’s very, very moreish, totally evil and to die for.

If you think the DG readers might like the recipe, I’m sensing a small guest post!?

Wow, SJ, you know how to pick your friends! “A massive man-made island” with two of my fav things — history and food! (Now, what on earth is a “malteser traybake”?)

I love stormy weather!

I am a very, very lucky man when it comes to storms – several of my friends own a Fort (http://www.spitbankfort.co.uk) about half a mile out to sea…

You wouldn’t believe what you can see from there when you’re right in the middle of a decent storm – awesome!

Our storm night treats are usually cold beer, spit-roast chicken and fresh malteser traybake (a specialty of mine).

Can’t argue with your logic on the sugar issue, Aaron! ;) Good luck!

I’m saving my sugar allowance for the day when I have the time and money to start homebrewing again!

Two and a half more hours until the strong winds pass!

A lot more snow down on on the ground now – it’s just gone dark – but I’d rather have snow than rain, any day! Wind and trees don’t mix, for sure. My fingers are crossed for you. Maybe you need a sugar fix, Aaron! You know, while the power is still on… Mary Emma just reported in from New Hampshire, and snow-day cookies are happening at their place, too!

I’m sure the view is beautiful where you are at. We had a foot of snow yesterday which disappeared under a deluge of rain. Right now we’re waiting out the high winds with fingers crossed. They should pass in four hours, but it only takes one tree to knock out the power or phone! And when it goes down, it can take days to restore power to my neck of the woods.
