Its (winter). I know...
Leucadia doesn’t get WINTER, but we can pretend.
When its dark and stormy, and the
(christmas tree)
is all lit up, I pretend we have snow outside.
I pretend that the pure and beautiful silence that only snow can bring to the world exisits right outside my window.
I pretend that my handsome renegade cowboy is in the other room, rather than 1200 miles away.
I pretend my fireplace works.
And then, I pour myself a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and I pretend to make myself a roast beast.
The beauty of this roast is that you marrieds can easily increase to serve however many you want. Single Girl (roasts) are good like that.
