Getting into our groove in the bitter cold

Well, we are back in Fairbanks. It took awhile to adjust to the -20 F temperatures and the lack of daylight. And getting used to working was extremely challenging.....

But now we seem to be getting used to it. We've been out cross country skiing a lot lately, seeing plenty of movies, visiting with friends, and eating out. We've been doing a ton of stir fries, using ginger and garlic constantly. A hard part of being back is not being able to eat really good healthy food every meal, without being in the kitchen all day long! Our food is so dull compared to what we ate on vacation! All the Thai flavors (lemongrass, fish sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, peppers, etc.). The food was so tasty, whatever I make in the kitchen doesn't compare!
