Southern Scenes?
Submitted by Christi
Okay, usually not a lot of snow in the South, but this year is a bit strange. We have had more snow than I know what to do with. Fortunately, some others in the area did know what to do with it.
And, something with a litle red!
We don’t have snow often, but fortunately, when we do have it, we have fun with it!
Today’s Lagniappe: Love Bites
Saw this on Home Made Simple and just love this idea for Valentine’s Day.12 large red globe grapes
1 log (4 ounces) goat cheese
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- Cut each grape in half. Cut a small slice off the end of each half to prevent it from tipping.
- Using a small melon baller or a tiny spoon, scoop out any seeds and enough flesh to create a slight indentation.
- Cut the goat cheese log into 24 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- Press one side of each ball of goat cheese into the chopped pistachios.
- Place the cheese in each grape half, pistachio-side up. Press gently to adhere. Serve on a small dish or a small decorative cake stand for an elegant effect.
Make Ahead Tip: Grape Cups can be prepared several hours in advance. Refrigerate in an airtight container, until ready.

That looks like fun. I wish that we would get more snow around here.

Is that a snail? I love that! And a kitty and an elephant! So much more exciting than the usual snowman. You really know how to do snow right!
Happy REDnesday!

Thank goodness we never get enough snow to do this. This is a great way to enjoy the snow and provide for some interesting sculptures.

Whoa! Amazing snow”men” — wonderful. I have no idea how someone accomplishes that kind of detail with snow –mine always look like big ugly lumpy things.
Very cute!

Being a gal from an area where the snow does fly in the winter time, I think you did a wonderful job. What an imagination. How many people did you have to help you?
