Cold, wet, New England weekend...what should I make?

I'm shaking cold!  For the first time in over a week I've had to put the heat on!  Come on weather!  I've gotten so used to wearing my cute sandals (yes, toe nails painted), and cute spring shirts, sweaters, and pants...not to forget shants too!  If you want to know what shants are, reply to this post;)  Tonight it's a balmy 40 degrees with a windchill of about 32 with cold cold rain.  Sounds wonderful, doesn't it.  The husband is braving it at Fenway...die hard right there.  I'll be there Tuesday when it's sunny and about 25 degrees warmer;)  And no, I am not a fair weather fan, I just don't want to get sick.  Period.  I am a huge fan.

Anyway, what should I make this weekend to keep us warm?  I'm thinking tacos tomorrow night, if we don't go out into the nastiness, and Crock Pot Orange Chicken for Sunday, but what about the inbetween?  Hot grilled cheese?  But we have no soup to go with it.  Coconut brownies?  But I love ice cream on top, but it's too cold for that!  Cinnamon rolls?  Cupcakes?  Nah, we had these recently.  I wish I had bought spaghettio's at the grocery store last night.  Those are nice and warm.

So what should I make/bake while I'm staying inside as much as possible and cleaning, reading, and watching TV?  Oh yes, and going thru my Us Weekly as well.  What are your favorite things to make/bake during a rainy weekend?  Do they differ from a snowy weekend?  What are your favorite rainy weekend movies?

Please have a nice thought for my husband who is sitting in the rain at Fenway...he's a trooper.

How good do these look for late night?


Thanks to the husband for modeling his cheeseburger with carmelized onions, and of course ketchup and mustard.  The onions gave the burger such a great taste.  I think this will be a new "thing" for us - trying different things on burgers - next up...??  Any suggestions?  


Thank you to Baking Bites for this fun recipe!  Easy to make, pretty easy cleanup, but very sweet - have a cold glass of milk ready for this one!  I left out corn syrup (only b/c I didn't have any, oops) and used honey roasted peanuts instead of just plain salted peanuts, but other than that I followed her recipe accordingly.  A nice followup to the burger, though:)

My stomach is making funny gurgling noises (last of the bug I'm hoping!) so I'm out for now...I'll be back Tuesday or Wednesday around dinner time with a new, and it kinda looks challenging, recipe - wish me luck!
