Re: We're supposed to get snow and ice tomorrow.
The people around here are ridiculous. WTF are you going to do with bread and milk?
We're low on milk and I toyed with the idea of going out and getting some...but screw it. I just wont have my cereal. I refuse to fight the stupid people. We have enough other food to get us through to Sunday if needed.
Throw in eggs, and you've got some f*ckin frennnnnch toast!
Jen, I can't tell you how many times I have gone to the store before a storm to get bread, peanut butter, spaghetti ohs and various other things that don't need to be refrigerated and the bread and milk are cleaned the eff out.
Then you get to the register and you see why. Everyone has like 3 gallons of milk and 4 loaves of bread. And that's it. WHY? You cant make French toast with no eggs and no power.
Also, I swear the people around here are DUMB. A few years ago we had a pretty bad snow/ice storm that left most of this area without power for several days. Numerous people were featured on the news who complained that they lost all of the food in their freezers and refrigerator. UM? WHY? Put that shiit outside!
I think the milk and bread thing is hilarious. I love the signs that pop up at gas stations in the winter that say things like "Got your milk and bread?" with snowflakes and such.
Ho-larious.
I do not get it either. If there is ice on the ground and you have a cooler and a grill, there is no reason to have to throw food out or go hungry. Milk and bread? Nope, when we are getting snow and Ice I make a big pot of chili or soup because you slap that bast.ard on the grill to heat it up or plug it in while the generator is running.
Milk and bread are the last things I'm eating in snow/ice.
I really don't get it either, but it's absolutely hilarious. I had to stop at Target on my way home for some real groceries, and it was insane!
It makes me laugh when people freak out about snow, because I'm from upstate NY where a lot of snow is 2+feet.
I'm secretly hoping for a day off tomorrow though.
That reminds me, buckin, I'm trying to figure out if I should pull out the chicken I have in the deep freezer. I could thaw it tonight and put it in the crock pot on high in the morning so it's done by the time anything starts tomorrow.
The only time we've ever lost power here was two days before my wedding when the tornado touched down over at Sandy Ridge. And even then it was only for 20 minutes. So I'm knocking on wood here, but I really don't forsee us losing power. But if we do we'd pretty much be screwed as 95% of the food we have needs to be cooked.
Decisions decisions.
I'm from the snowbelt in Ohio, so while I think 2-4" is a laughable amount of snow, I fully understand it isn't about the amount as much as it is about the ability to remove it from roads, which the area just doesn't have.
I was in a five-car accident two weeks after moving here thanks to crappy snow/ice removal. Yeah, that shut up my laughing really fast.
My college BFF is from New York. She swore up and down the first year she was here if the weather got bad she would just drive everyone around since nobody knows how to drive in that weather down here.
Right, but our winter weather almost always includes ice, and NOBODY can drive on ice. After 6 years down here I'm still not sure she understands that. It's people like her that get out there and think they can drive around in this crap that cause the accidents. Like the guy who hit the power pole down the road last year and brought it down to the ground because he was driving around on the snowy ice.
I completely agree Jen. We dont' get enough down here to justify a lot of equipment and sand/salt budgets etc. Not to mention we get more ice than snow.
Then you have people who laugh and run out flying around in the cars and SUV's causing accidents. I rarely worry about MY DRIVING, its the idiots on the road you have to watch out for.
If people would just realize "the south sucks at snow road control" and slow their asses down, it would be fine.
CB,
Make white chicken chili...YUM. I'm making Taco soup tomorrow in the crockpot.
Fwiw, we get ice up north, too. The difference is there's a buttload of salt and a buttload of road crews to melt the ice superduperfast. Here? That sh*t just hangs out till it melts. Up there, hitting a random patch of ice is easy enough to maneuver past. Roads of solid ice are a whole different story.
I might do something like that. I will have to alter the recipe though because I don't have everything I need to make it and I am not going to the store.
I don't have green chilies but I could use jalapenos instead. LOL
And I don't have white kidney beans but I think I have 2 different kinds of white beans in the cabinet. They're dry, but meh, whatever. I don't have sour cream or whipping cream....but I'm sure it'd be fine without those.
LOL, yes. Probably.
Or I could just suck it up and go to the damn store.
