In case you haven’t heard, New York City is being “pummeled, battered, and walloped” by our first snowstorm of the year. Schools are closed. Flights are grounded. I haven’t left my apartment to buy breakfast.

it’s the end of the world.

If you have ever been to New York City during a snowstorm, you may have noticed that people love is to break out their umbrellas in the middle of heavy snow. I have absolutely no explanation for this. Sorry.

You may also have noticed that it’s been a little quiet in these here blog parts for a week or so.

Last week was a different kind of storm for me. I was pummeled, battered, and walloped by friends visiting from Australia and the UK. (Wait..that doesn’t sound right.) It was a week of sightseeing, stand-up comedy, conversations until 4 am, and The Bag Game. There is an explanation of The Bag Game, but you’ll have to wait until I get some pictures from my international friends. Sorry.

If you are a part of Nor’Easter 2010, I hope you’re doing something especially comfortable right now. Bake something quick, preferably something mini. and leave your hat on while you do. It helps you concentrate on the recipe, I guess. That’s the only justification for my outfit here.

Good news though, you don’t need a snowstorm to bake. Feel free to bake in tropical climates during a cyclone!

That’s what my good Twitter friend Chelsea did when a cyclone pummeled, battered and walloped beautiful Port Douglas, Australia. She and her friends at Tourism Port Douglas Greek Butter Cookie-d their way through some bad weather. I gotta say, I would much rather be baking in my shorts or summer dress, drinking a VB, before heading out to Mossman Gorge. But whaddya gonna do..

The grass is always greek-er on the other side.
