Clearly, I spoke too soon...

Remember that 'dusting' of snow I spoke about yesterday? Well, it turned into a hell of a lot more than a dusting as the day progressed!!

The bad news is that my car sucks in the snow and it took forever to get from point A to point B, but the good news is that I had a great night out on the town with my friend Joanne last night and was reminded that shoveling a PAVED driveway is soooooo much easier than dealing with the gravel driveway!

Don't get me wrong - shoveling pretty much stinks no matter what the surface may be, but after shoveling a gravel driveway for four winters - having a newly paved driveway to shovel was a downright treat!!!

Today is the office potluck (yes Dr. Spo - we like to keep the tradition alive!!!) and I'll be avoiding it at all costs. :-) OK - that's not entirely true. I'll eat some food, as long as I know who made it, and it's someone I trust. It also helps that a lot of people are lazy and are bringing in 'take-out' from various restaurants. That's more than fine with me. I'll take some Chinese take-out over risking my life eating the slop that some of my co-workers are trying to pass off as food.

As my contribution, I brought in my 'office famous' (they aren't quite world famous yet) whoopie pies. Since they went so fast the last time I made them, I made a lot more this time, in hopes that more people would get to try them.

For anyone who doesn't know what a whoopie pie is, here's the Wikipedia definition:

Whoopie pie (alternatively called a gob, black-and-white, bob, or "BFO" for Big Fat Oreo), an American baked good that may be considered either a cookie, pie, or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, sometimes pumpkin cake, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them.

And this is what one of my homemade whoopie pies (all from scratch, no rubbish) looks like:

Well my friends....I've got to get some work done before the festivities begin.

Wish me luck. ;-)
