I've never had it with rice or noodles.  When the Germans served it, it came in a bowl and had a spoon with it.  And one of those hard rolls that will knock you out if you were hit with it but was so soft and good on the inside.

Hex, you're idea doesn't sound too bad.  I'm just trying to picture the sweet in the dish I remember.  Let us know how it turns out if/when you try it.

BillWitt, now I'm jealous.  I was going to make a pot on the 23rd and let it set in the 'fridge until the 24th, but now I may have to rush things.

SG!  Cold cereal?  Were you in a hurry?

I was tired.  Cooking takes work!

All this from a maximum amount of 4 inches?  That's going to be mostly gone by noon? 

Snow in the Big Easy, and 70° here in Eastern Virginia. I doubt I'll ever figure out weather patterns.

You've got it soft. Try the combo of cold and snow. In the midwest we :enjoy both. :cool:

No thankyou,,,,,I'll take my 80 degree central Florida weather almost any day,,,I do miss new, fresh snow a couple times a year, though :p then I get over myself when I see the pictures of the piles and piles of dirty snow, ice, people slipping, etc,,,,,I haven't scraped ice off a window in 8 years :)  Once I cut myself on ice so bad I needed 6 stitches in my hand!!!!!  Holly

[QUOTE=itty;949976] ...this is a good day for friends to share a marshmallow roast....[/QUOTE]This statement just made me realize something.  So, I fixed it!

If I could live where I wanted, I'd spend the winters at the beach and summers in the cool mountains. While I like four seasons and my least favorite season is a hot and humid Southern summer, I had a belly full of winter when I lived in the mountains. For about 6 weeks each year I couldn't get a car anywhere near my house and had to hike up the mountain - and pull my groceries in and the garbage out on a sled. I really loathed doing that! Slipping and sliding on the ice...Ice is the worst.

My neighbor owned the barn and wouldn't fix the water pipes so it always froze for those same 6 weeks. You have not lived until you have hauled water from a creek for your horses - lets not forget the ice on the creek! -up an embankment, sloshing the icy water into your boots. Ah! Memories.
