Here I am in the wonderful fluffy snow at Winter Park …before I tore my ACL. Now I’m hobbling around in a leg brace,cooking new Southwestern recipes. How am I gonna burn off all those calories???

It’s been six weeks since my accident. Wouldn’t you know it,I blew out my knee on the first day of a week-long trip to Steamboat. Got incredibly nifty crutches from the ER in Steamboat –they have fold-down crampons! Gotta have them when you have to ambulate over ice and snow. I took close-up pictures!

I still want to ski. There is one more week in the ski season and all my friends are going. I’m missing half the season and the closing day celebrations!
