Gettin’ All Cozy

this !

We had a super cold weekend here in Cville, like many of you in the Northeast. I hope everyone was safe! I can’t imagine living in a place that was this cold for more than a few days of the year. Kudos to those of you who can tough it out in negative temperatures and wind chills! I don’t know how you do it.

On Friday morning I had a Quaker Overnight Oats cup with lots of peanut butter. I heated the oats a bit so they wouldn’t decrease my core temp!

When I was little I used to watch the Shelley Duvall series Faerie Tale Theater. One of the episodes was called The Snow Queen and in it (at 18:25) the character visits a house where it’s always summer in the middle of the frozen forest. (I confused this with Narnia this morning!) I used to LOVE that house in the movie. My hot yoga studio (Elements) feels a bit like that house now. You can walk into class in a tank and shorts where it’s 90 degrees and pretend it’s a warm summery day. You will find me there all winter!

Friday lunch was a date with Thomas to Timbercreek Market. We shared a lamb burger and arugula salad. Both were absolutely amazing!

For Friday dinner we had slow cooker Brunswick stew based on this recipe. It was excellent! (We picked up the biscuits from Timbercreek earlier in the day.)

For Saturday morning breakfast Mazen wanted a smoothie, so I pulled out everything frozen and we sipped them by the fire! : )

On the side: an egg and toast.

Mazen went with Matt for the daytime while Thomas and I went to the UVA bbball game. DOWN WITH THE TAR HEELS!!!

T hung some wedding photos, and we had friends over for happy hour.

This wine from Winc was a big hit! (I have had maybe only one bottle from them that I haven’t loved.)

Later that night we had steaks on the Big Green Egg with roasted taters and green beans.

On Sunday morning Mazen woke up super early. I think he just wanted to snuggle! I can’t imagine life without this new fireplace now.

For breakfast Thomas made these muffins, and I adapted a baked egg recipe from the one we had at the Cedar Spring Inn. I will be sharing it in a week or two – it was FAB!!

That was such a big breakfast that it served as brunch!

All afternoon I worked on a post that required 4 hours of cooking. I will be telling you all about it soon!

    How is it that I have no memory of the Summer House from Narnia at all? I used to love the book as a child – it would be so my place too! 😀

      We used to watch it at my grandmother’s house, and this was back in the 80s/90s. I wonder if the newer version doesn’t have it? I haven’t read the book, so I’m not sure if it’s in there. I’m searching for pictures online but haven’t found any!

          I found the whole movie!! Gosh it was scary. I just skimmed the whole thing and still can’t find it. Maybe I’m confusing it with another series? I will keep thinking!

          OK another update: Larbs and I think it was maybe one of shelley duvall’s faerie tale theater shows! Still looking.

          I FOUND IT!! It was a Faerie Tale Theater episode called The Snow Queen, which explains why I was confusing it with Narnia. Look for the house at 18:25!!

    Random – but can I ask you about your fireplace? Is it wood burning? We’re looking to re-do our wood burning fireplace to mount our TV above, but I’m struggling to determine the code for “combustible materials” and what materials I can use. I love your tile /stone and am just curious if your FP is wood burning or not. Thanks! And sorry for random ??

      It’s gas and we just got it a few weeks ago! The TV doesn’t get the slightest bit hot because the fan blows the heat straight out. I was a little worried, but the pros assured me it was fine.

        Thank you so much. We went to look at inserts and the gas ones do look AMAZING. So warm! Glad to hear you haven’t had issues with the TV & heat.

    Where you buy eggs, do you generally buy organic, conventional, free-range, or pasture-raised?

      Local pasture raised that I get at Whole Foods

    Yay, hot yoga! If you keep up your practice, it would be great to hear more of your thoughts on this. I started hot yoga ~1yr ago, and it is hands down one of the best things I have ever done for my physical & mental health. I would love to see what your own yoga journey (or yoga stroll, haha) has been like.

      I’ve been doing it since I discovered hot yoga back in 2009. I wasn’t much of a fan before then because I was always cold! I have gone periods of time when I do it rather consistently (1-2 times a week) but I have never been a daily yogi because I like variety. But I do believe in the power of yoga!

    I have that same bottle of wine from Winc on my counter. I’m nervous though….I’m a newb and don’t like the dry ones. Hope we like it!

    I thought of you and your sensitive smeller this morning while I was at the gym….on the spin bike….next to someone who smelled like sausage. As if getting through that class isn’t hard enough!

      Oh gosh!! I don’t know what’s worst when working out: food or alcohol smells coming off someone – eeeep!

      And I didn’t think the bottle was too try. I tend to like fruitier ones, so I think you’ll love it!

    Very interested n the baked egg recipe! Sounds delish.

    I’m a loooooooong time reader (and I live just north of Cville in Madison with my 3 little boys), so imagine my delight when I saw that you tried my Slow Cooker Brunswick Stew! 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing it on the blog. It’s definitely a cozy meal!

    Have a great week, Kath!
