MS Trivia night & Sunday cooking

Last night we went to the MS Trivia night despite a large snow storm creating some whiteout conditions. At the halfway point we were in 5th place (out of 15), but I don't think we finished that strong (they never did announce any of the places other than first and second). Anyhoo, here are some pictures of the evening:

Our team name:
The happy couple enjoying some sugar and free coffee:The other happy members of our team, Len's coworker Jon, and the parents of one of the Trivia Night's committee members, Stan and Sharon:

They were selling raffle tickets for some of the many prizes they had donated and I won a one-month pass to GoodLife and a Goodlife sweatshirt. Hopefully Lenny doesn't mind the company at the gym, but to be honest, I'm pretty sure he's thankful to have a little extra push to go more regularly right now. Me with the loot:

When we woke up this morning, the driveway was plowed, but I took this picture to give you a bit of an idea of how much snow we got. The snow banks are certainly getting bigger and bigger! Am I ever grateful to be driving the SUV instead of the rental car now -- it would be so tricky to see around those snow banks!


I actually studied this afternoon! My training and development midterm isn't until this Thursday, but I've got a lot of little things to take care of between now and then. Anyhoo, only 4 chapters left to go... I might get to another one tonight although continue to knit that hat I've been working on seems awfully more appealing.

This morning Len and I made Sugarlaws' Cinnamon Rolls. Not only did we not have the desire to kill each other in the kitchen (a problem we sometimes have when cooking together), but it was actually fun! The cinnamon buns turned out to be DELICIOUS. Like uterrly amazing. SO good. I may have eaten 4... for breakfast... Here they are fresh out of the oven but pre-icing:

Tonight while Lenny was out injuring himself on a snowy run :(, I made some homemade pizza for "the game." It turned out really well but for whatever reason the dough was really poofy (hard to take a picture of, but here's a try):Ah well, as long as it tastes good right? I'm also happy to report that I made the pizza sauce from scratch too. Turns out that some tomato paste mixed with Italian seasoning is a perfect alternative to those pre-made onion-powder-filled pizza sauces.

Well, off to do other things now. Party times!
