This is day Three of the "storm" - and yes, that is Simon outside with PJs - he was helping unload the van this morning - he had boots on - and it wasn't as cold as it looked - for a few minutes anyway.

(Oh yeah, this is not my favorite sign - one you should most likely heed)

Opened up the hill in front of The Elks, they've actually done a great job of keeping the roads pretty clear - don't wanna know what that might have cost.

Looking forward to a Saturday with a little less weather, and more customers - hopefully the "I wanna see snow" crowd from Phoenix will fill the place - we all know that true Preskitonians stay home in any sort of weather.

If you are at home, I'm posting a great old fashioned brownie recipe I found the other day in just a little bit. I drizzled mine with White and Dark Chocolate - called 'em Messy Brownies ...

If you have any pics -send 'em to me and I'll post 'em here.

Storm Results - The Flood ... almost

What a mess, but we got through it so far! Gato survived the impending Granite Creek. The creek crested sometime over night and is now back a near normal levels. This, after we took all the patio furniture in etc.

Lots of excitement yesterday. Spent most of the day bailing out Monk's, climbing on the roof to clear gutters (not ours), and knee deep in freezing water - I have some pics which I'll post later.

The day started really great - I got up at 4am to fill the pastry case at Monk's and make desserts for 129 1/2 and Gato - only to have very few diners - then the rain startedin earnest ... then the roof started leaking, then the courtyard filled up and began to come in the back doors at Monk's - not a pretty sight! Took all day and night to get it under control.

With the weather cooling the water has stopped, but now at least we are prepped and ready for the deluge once it decides to start melting again.

Hope all are safe, warm and dry! By the way ... we're open if you wanna stop on in for a warm cup O' Joe and vittles!

New things onthe horizon
