Here are some highlights.
I went to the foodstore 2 days before the storm. The store was naked. It was like Thanksgiving and Christmas and all of the other major food holidays had happened in one week. There was no food. No bananas. No asparagus (which just makes me wonder...why no asparagus... who craves asparagus?) the only produce that I was able to snag was a bag of little apples. Machintoshes. I prefer Galas, but it was not the time to be picky.
Then. I went to the meat section. The shelves were empty. No chicken. No hamburger. So I bought a meatloaf that was already mixed up. I just need to bake it. This is fancy. I never buy these because they are expensive, but I got so caught up in the moment. I felt like I needed to leave the store with some sort of meat product since everyone else was. I got sucked in by the peer pressure.
I did buy all of the necessary ingredients for peanut-butter-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies. Total highlight. As I walked to the chocolate chip aisle I noticed Wegmans were very low on toilet paper. Which made me wonder. Does snow have a direct correlation to bathroom usage?

Meg, I agree.... and why were people busy filling up their gas tanks? Were they planning to go somewhere in all this snow? The thought of being snowbound sure does make people do crazy things.
Big smiles! Those cookies look insanely good. Were they?
While I do not think that there is a correlation between snow and bathroom usage - there is one between snow and panic. For me, I have to bake and cook during a snow storm as if I am feeding 50 people. It is something that is beat in to us from past generations. go figure.
God help us if there is ever a real catastrophe in NOVA
