Make no mistake about it, winter has alive and well in Wisconsin for over a month now. Alive and well in the sense that the cold air hurts my face when I’m walking to an early-morning class. And that I feel the need to consume hot coffee on an hourly basis. And the fact that my oven’s currently almost always has gotta have a pot roast in it.
