Bummer!! We received about a foot this week but the winds were really
bad. Yesterday there was a lot of drifting on the lake(s) where we
were visiting ice fishermen friends (on snowshoes) - 2 tournaments on
two different lakes. Today we just stuck it out in the woods behind
the house.


It wasn't a total loss. We probably got 4 inches on top of what we
already had and then the wind rearranged it for me. This morning I'd be
walking on top of the snow easily and suddenly be hip deep.

Which is why I need poles g

I bet it's fun snowshoeing on a lake as long as there's no wind. I stay
near the edges of the berrygrounds when the wind is blowing.

The only thing about the lake that is good is that it's flat. OTOH, I'm
beginning to enjoy hills.

Well, when banofee pie started appearing on restaurant dessert menus
(along with things like chocolate fudge cake and key lime pie) a few
years ago I took it for granted it was from America. It seems I'm
not alone in thinking this, but that it may be an English concoction.

I've only tasted it once, and believe it or not it's too sickly even
for me, which is saying something!

p.s. I looked at the article. It doesn't sound at all appealing!

Well, I've certainly never heard of it, and I've eaten in a lot of
restaurants in a lot of parts of the US. But who knows -- it's a big
country!

Reading the article I saw a lot of Mexican influence on the recipe: the flan
base and the carmelized sweetened condensed milk. But living on the
US/Mexico border I have eaten in several Mexican restaurants and always at
least look at the dessert menu and I haven't ever seen Banofee offered. I
don't much care for either flan or cajeta (better x-noarchive this one so
they don't kick me out), so it's certainly not something that would interest
me but I imagine it would be a hit around these parts.
