Milk! Bread! Eggs!

December 5, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

No, no, no!

We have a winter storm on the way with the possibility of sleet/ice/snow the next couple of days and bitter cold through the middle of next week. I am not amused. But I *am* prepared. We already had plenty of food in the house but after my piano lesson yesterday I made a quick stop at Braum’s and bought a couple more half gallons of milk, more bread, butter (you can never have too much butter) and smoked sausage which I used in a big pot of gumbo tonight. A case order of toilet paper from Amazon arrived Monday and we are stocked up on wine.

Today I’m seeing lots of people on Facebook talking about what a madhouse they were encountering at Walmart as everyone stripped the shelves of milk, bread, and eggs. Is there some rule that says you have to make French toast during bad weather? I haven’t been in Walmart for close to six years now and can no longer fully imagine the horrors of a pre-storm shopping trip.

There’s a good chance we’ll lose our internet if we get much ice so don’t be surprised if I don’t post for awhile. I just hope we don’t lose electricity. We do have a fireplace but this is a pretty big house to heat that way. We’ve played that game more than once and quite frankly, I’m totally over it. A friend in New Orleans mentioned that it’s going to be 80 degrees there tomorrow. Just one more reminder that I am supposed to live there.

Okay, enough whining (for now). I’m going to finish my hot tea, take a hot shower and then climb into bed with my heating pad and a book, then hopefully dream about Spring. And living in New Orleans.

    rahahahaaaa!!! … a rule about making French Toast. And why get perishable food that requires cooking when they know there's a chance of the power being out! My shopping list is this: Graham Crackers… Soda…. and Chocolate, and I'm good.

    Ha! That's a good point about perishable food. I've cooked in our fireplace and on our outdoor grill when power was out but I doubt most people buying all that stuff are prepared to do that. I'm going to be doing some cooking and baking today in preparation for the worst while hoping and praying for the best.
