President's Day Weekend

Shortly after my last post, I made the four hour drive to visit my grandparents in rural Kansas (the square state to the east of my square state).  They are supportive of my plant-based diet, but they don't know how to feed me.  As it was only for two days, here's what I brought:

I ate almost everything you see here, grandma also supplied a couple of baked potatoes, and PB&J toast.  

The return trip today was a little dicey - we had to reroute through Nebraska (square state to the north), as the 60mph winds in eastern Colorado had created blizzard conditions, closing all of the highways.  Not falling snow - blowing snow.  Well, we still encountered white out conditions for about an hour and a half in Nebraska - absolutely terrifying, you can't see anything.  Nonetheless, by grace we survived and here's what I saw for the last hour (mountains in the background):

 Once home, I ran to store to pick up a few things, and that included dinner:

Nom nom nom.

Now, to catch up on everyone's posts (my internet service on my Blackberry only let me view two blogs the whole weekend!).
