I didn't feel like doing homework this evening, so I baked the Lemon Poppy Seed Crackle Cookies from Dreena Burton's Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan!, which I got for Christmas. This past weekend was an ED&BV weekend, as I made three other recipes from this book, and boy, was I pleased.
The cookies, as you can see, turned out well, too, except I think I got a little ambitious with the lemon peel. I tend to try and get as much as I can from one lemon...the result being I think I can taste a little bit of the pith-y bitterness under the classic lemon and poppy seed combo. But ah well. If you eat them while you're slurping away on a mug of chamomile tea, as I did, they're fine.
It's just started snowing again. I'm not surprised, it was damn cold today. I am displeased, I only want it to snow if it's enough to close campus tomorrow. Here are some more snow pictures from Sunday's fantastic-ness:

Awkward self-taken photo in which John looks amazing and I look bizarre.
Our first snowman; I named him Drunky. He is our hippie methhead Eugene themed snowman!
Our neighbors really got into it. And yes that's a beer can in the right snowman's 'hand'.
Our second snowman peers across the street in alarm at the scene!
