Winter in Adelaide

So we're not in Russia but we get a bit cold at night during the Adelaide winter. It has yet to reach freezing temperatures but the sun rarely comes out and the wind picks up pretty good. The houses here are not centrally heated or have great insulation. Needless to say, these New Orleanians are cold at night! The 3 best investments we've made this winter have been in an electric blanket, a comforter and a space heater. Then we still sleep with 2 or 3 layers of clothes on! With the cold weather, it has been great eating reds beans and rice on Mondays, warm jambalaya and Shawn just made some awesome chili the other night. The chili flakes and Tabasco sauce really kicked it up a notch! Also, we looked up a recipe that called for zucchini which we've never put in chili before but we figured why not and it turned out really good.





Oh and thanks Mom for the LSU slippers...I'll be wearing them all winter!
