We have everything we need but the glycerin. It's $US3-4 at the within-walking distance hardware store. When the howling winds abate (oh please), Giulia's editor will pick some up along with important items (GG's cat food). What else do you need? A jar, glitter, distilled water (don't you iron?! No we don't either, so it's on the list), glue. You can even make teeny ones from baby food jars. How difficult can this be anyway? We'll let you know soon.

This is what GG's editor told the feline in question about our lack of heat & so on. Her little paw pads were nearly frozen & she was squealing like a cornered rabbit. We were rescued on Monday evening & are in an undisclosed location. So far with power, coffee, books, & other amusements. Four days of below 40 degrees can leave two girls feeling mighty cranky & upset. (You have no idea.) We'll be posting on GG's editor's blog later & you can comment there if you like. Don't forget Haitians & Sudanese (among others, including your neighbors)!ciao-snowy-meow/GG Central Management in Exile (Weather Related)[photograph by msgooner via we heart it)
GG Central is awaiting a snowpocalypse. We've imported mass quantities of GG food, tulips, & other necessities. Also, the ingredients for snow ice cream which we've not made for at least a decade. We'll report back over the weekend (if the power stays on). GG is asleep in her little house, wrapped in a Pringle of Scotland cashmere pullover. (Of course, she is, the lil devil.)
Here's a recipe for Vanilla Snow Ice Cream from the Peppercorn Press. It requires a Dutch oven full of fresh fluffy snow. The blue Le Creuset is by the door & ready to go.
