Xmas 10

January has been a tough month. We've had several feet of snow. Every week we've had a big storm. I had to get up on the roof and shovel it off to make sure we didn't get an ice damn or overload the roof.

We are planning on replacing the Oldsmobile this spring when the snow melts, but another breakline burst. I was able to fix it myself for 12 bulks by splicing in a new line but Katie is ready to retire it sooner then later now. We are looking at several vehicles. The Honda Fit, and Ford Focus are the top contenders right now. Katie wants something small but big enough that two adults fit in the back plus a weeks worth of groceries.

Now for something not snow related. I found a UK food wholesaler in Westford with a nice online store. What makes these guys different from where we have gone in the past is they sell Walkers "crisps" potato chips. They are made by the same company that makes Lays. The difference being the UK version has odd flavors like turkey and stuffing, prawns, beef something, and roasted chicken. The roasted chicken is our favorite.

For Katie's birthday we went to a British pub in the middle of nowhere in New Hampshire. The food was just so so but the deserts were awesome. Bannaoffe I think it was called. Bananas and toffee were the main components and it was good.
