how to deal with the snow
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016
Our most recent storm brought nearly 3 feet of snow to us in Crested Butte. And while we have been getting our fill of the powder (and then some!), there is the issue of clearing the snow on and around our house so we can get in and out, and so Neva can potty in the yard without disappearing completely. The thing about snow in Crested Butte is that it doesn’t really melt away until late spring. This morning was a balmy -18°F. So yeah, no melting here, just moving snow to make room for more snow. But the deep freeze is also what keeps the powder stashes fresh for days.
the snow in the yard is piling high (neva and jeremy for scale)
when neva is not outside, she wants to be outside

we’ve never skied such deep and fluffy powder

Alternatively, you might not be a snow lover (WHY??!). I can’t say I understand, but I know people who dislike the cold and snow of winter. Maybe you prefer to sit at home and watch a bunch of dudes hurl themselves about a rectangular field. Every person has their “thing”. No matter which thing is your thing, there is no denying that a batch of warm, soft pretzel bites would be a good thing!
brown sugar, butter, yeast, egg, salt, baking soda, pretzel salt, water, vegetable oil, flour
stir the flour and kosher salt together
get the water to around 100°f
mix melted butter, warm water, yeast, and brown sugar together
**Jump for more butter**
