April Snow

In Alaska, we are very cautious about believing spring has arrived.  Yesterday we woke up to six inches of fresh snow.  Our hellacious death hill was an icy mess that I had to brave to make appointments in Wasilla.  I slid all the way down it sideways, stopping only when I plowed into a snow berm.  Luckily I wasn't going very fast, so there was no car damage and I could back myself out.

Don't worry!  If I would have gotten stuck I was prepared with snacks.    

In the baggie are a mess of kale and collard chips; a new to me recipe. I found this scrumptious recipe for Raw Food Kale Chips at the Renegade Health Show. The recipe called for two heads of kale, but it seemed like I had too much dressing for two heads.  I didn't have any more kale, so I sliced up some collard leaves.  They turned out great!

Now I must excuse myself as this key lime pie tart won't stop staring at me.  I will share the recipe tomorrow if it pleases the taste buds of TH the Taste Tester.

Question:  What signals spring to you?  (For me, it's trading out my snow boots for my Bogs.)
