We’re bracing for a blizzard tonight. I’m sure schools will be closed, so I should be pounding out some money-making articles today. But I’m not. Blogging, aka procrastinating.
When Steve called this morning, I was bundling up for the trip to the supermarket for Blizzard supplies. He said, “we’ve got celery. I went to the store and bought celery yesterday.” Says the guy who clearly does not do any of the cooking in the house, but is very excited about his new juicer.
I guess I’m not much better. I did pick up some lentils for soup and hotdogs for the kid who does not eat lentil soup. But I also made sure that we were well stocked with white wine, avocados for the guacamole, and fancy cheese. Priorities.
Apt. 11d 
I’m off of wine and cheese for the month so go ahead and indulge so that i can live vicariously through you.
We are not expecting a blizzard but the high on Monday is supposed to be -12 which might be enough to cancel school. It is supposed to be the first day back after two weeks off so I’ll be annoyed if school’s canceled. There is not one month in the school year where they have four full weeks of school. Good thing my son enjoys going to the release day program
Sad fact: I pay more for child care for my child to attend K at a public school than I did for him as an infant in a family child care.

But you need celery for making almost any kind of soup! And you need soup when there’s a blizzard.

I had to tell my cousin to call me tonight, once she’s home. Do not call me while driving in a blizzard.
Blizzard food for us is potatoes, bacon, cooked pork, spinach salad. I may make soup tomorrow. If I have the time to plan ahead, I buy things which we can eat if the power goes out–cheese, fruit, bread.
If we hadn’t shopped yesterday, we might be eating very strange meals made up of odds and ends from the cupboard. Tag ends of couscous, quinoa, onions, beets, custard sauce and Ramune soda. Plus the fun of reassuring the children that yes, you can cut moldy parts off of cheese and veggies, and what’s left is Perfectly Fine.

That is so very WASP.
