We're getting a (very) few snow flurries over here in Blount Co. The thermometer says 33.3 degrees. Gotta run, need to get over to Kroger for some milk and bread, assuming the roads aren't already too bad.

(P.S. Can someone remind me what it is we are supposed to do with all that milk and bread when it snows?)

Don't forget...

You also need to abandon your car, immediately.

If you're not in your car, go out and abandon it now, to save time later.

And don't forget to get toilet paper at Kroger, too. (If you need me to explain what to do with that...)

For what its worth, we're getting flurries here in central Maryland, too. And its cold.

P.S. Can someone remind me what it is we are supposed to do with all that milk and bread when it snows?

I suppose everyone is preparing to make French toast and watch it snow.

I've always wondered about that, too. I find it especially odd regarding the milk. I always figure that people are stocking up on supplies in case the roads are impassable and the ice causes power failures. In the event of a power failure, the milk is a bit of a wasted purchase. I suppose if you have a baby in the house and you aren't breast feeding it, then powdered milk might be a good idea, but I never hear about a run on powdered milk at the stores when Matt Hinkin predicts a chance of snow flurries with total accumulation of 1/100th of an inch.

If I were the kind to run to the store and stock up (and I'm not), I'd make sure I have some instant hot cocoa, marshmallows, oatmeal, pasta, and wine. I make my own bread already.

my favorite bread pudding recipe

I like this Paula Deen bread pudding recipe myself.

Note that the "bread" is two dozen Krispy Kremes. This is not exactly healthy eating...
