Elaine made split pea and ham, which took us through our storm-watching from afar.<br /><br />In my Ny/NJ/Boston life, I never heard of toilet paper as an item to stockpile, only bread and milk. I always thought of them as necessary not for fear of being stuck in the house but because the delivery trucks might not get to the supermarket.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-48103546162851799092015-01-30T10:26:20.082-06:002015-01-30T10:26:20.082-06:00We didn't have much of anything in my area, Mi...We didn't have much of anything in my area, Michael. Folks were telling each other, in hushed, worried voices, "We might get as much as four inches!" I reminded them that four inches of snow wouldn't clear the tops of their shoes when they stepped in it - as long as they weren't wearing flip-flops.<br /><br />Still, the panicky grocery-store-stampedes went on as if we were slated for four feet of the stuff. Can't fault them for that, really, though. I hit the store myself: was out of soup-making ingredients. When bad weather is forecast, I comfort myself by making a pot of soup.<br /><br />I told my sister about the panic that sets in up here when storms are forecast; about the three items almost everyone grabs. She said the same panic hits the Gulf Coast states, too, but in addition to BMTP, people grab hot dogs/sausages and booze.<br /><br />Any excuse for a cook-out, I guess. :) The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-72765576974644708012015-01-26T21:48:24.610-06:002015-01-26T21:48:24.610-06:00P.S.: Stay safe in the storm.P.S.: Stay safe in the storm.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-66018286093222915502015-01-26T21:47:58.916-06:002015-01-26T21:47:58.916-06:00Also white!Also white!Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-1090535087930756962015-01-26T21:44:31.049-06:002015-01-26T21:44:31.049-06:00Don't forget the toilet paper, the third leg o...Don't forget the toilet paper, the third leg of the triumvirate around here.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.com
