Snowed In? Heres What to Cook, Watch, Listen To and More.

(Sorry if this is too late, but here it is!)

What to Cook

Being snowed in can be a great chance to put on your chef’s hat, so start out with our guide to cooking for the storm. Our guide to roasting chicken is another perfect option for a day inside, as is our guide on how to make soup.

Other solid choices include:

• Casseroles for cold nights

• Cheery winter salads for dreary days

• Warming stews and soups

• Vegetarian soups

• Cold-weather pasta dishes ready in an hour or less

• Braises for chilly days

You could also channel that cabin fever and pick up some French cooking skills with our new cooking guide here, or keep things simple and get back to basics with our classic chicken soup recipe or tomato soup (just add grilled cheese).

I'm doing it right, using the recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, volume 1.

My wife suggested that since we will have the time, I should listen to the whole of Wagner's Ring. The problem is that I loathe Wagner (well, I like a few things, such as Siegfried's funeral music). So instead, I am listening to Mitsuko Uchida's recordings of Mozart's piano concerti (with the English Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Jeffrey Tate).
