Ok, not to be pushing winter, because Lord knows, living in Michigan, I am not trying to get the snow to fly any quicker than it will all on its own...

But this one reminds me of being curled up by a fire (this is only a dream, no fireplace in my house, but I can imagine), with a good book and a bowl of steaming White Chili!  This is the ultimate in cold weather, hot comfort food!
