I'm craving......

[ChrisL]

I am craving I nice hearty bowl of Wedding Soup made with little baby turkey meatballs instead. Yum! I gathering all the necessary ingredients today b/c I have a feeling this approaching winter storm is going to bury us. I am pretty excited for it. I love being snowed-in.

Yuck. I was hoping to avoid a bombardment with snow this winter.

Admittedly, you folks could use the break; however, all those nasty and large storms that smacked you around completely missed us. I am ready for a foot or three. I am going to the grocer today (and the liquor store, lol) to ensure we have all the necessities to get us throughout whatever Mother Nature has in store.

Here is a little example of what we dealt with last year. Those outdoor seats are actually bar stools. Lol. We had SO much last year, I could do without for a while.

Those are high top chairs?!

Yes. Swiveling ones too!

As you can see, under the table is free of snow like a little cave. I think we had a possum living under there for a while. It was completely covered at one point, but I pulled my grill out and did a little bit of cleaning up. If you look at the bar stool on the right side of the picture, the snow is pretty much to seat level of the chair and we had gotten more before that particular storm. Here's another couple of pics.

Alright, Love ya'll! I am off the grocery store and If I am not back in an hour someone be kind enough to put out an APB. lol

 

[Cassy Mo]

.... I still have to do mine...

OMG, if I did that, I'd end up with pickled beets and prune juice.

If you look to the left side of the first pic here, you can see just the top of my trash barrel. It was completely buried at one point.

All of the stores around here always run out of water, milk, bread, batteries and toilet paper. Lol.

Guess whom just dropped $200 at the grocery store but left his debt card at home?

I did the same thing once. It was early in the morning so not too many people around to see my red face but still. They just put the order in the back until you return. I left my whole wallet at home so I did have to go all the way home and get my card.

I don't really fear them, but I sure don't look forward to them. A good word to use would be dread. I dread them. Lol.

I am asked the manager, whom I know for years of shipping at this location, to put my cart in the cooler so I could run home real quick. Thank goodness I didn't begin to check-out yet. At least all the craziness I predicted didn't come to pass. It was quite slow at the store.

I can't say I have ever done that! If I ever do, I hope hubby is not with me because he will have a total meltdown due to embarrassment!

One word, pizza. Angelo's with the works, hold the anchovies.

Homemade pizza on the grill! So easy and delicious. Cheaper too.

Get to be creative too. I used to let my kids make up their own. Some bizarre, some delicious!

I don't embarrass easier. My husband made fun of me though...as is his right. lol

I realized it when she was halfway through checking my order. She just kept sliding everything through and I said stop! She said that's okay, you can go get it. We'll put your order in the back.. We must not be the only absent minded shoppers out there.

I have a phone case that holds my ID and debit card. I love it b/c it allows my phone to double as my wallet but the door on the back broke and the new case hasn't arrived yet. This is the second time in a week I've had to return home to grab my card. I've had a case like this for 5 years now so I am conditioned to believe that if I have my phone that I also have my wallet. Not today. lol

Do you have enough food to hold you through the storm now? We're not getting anything major but hope we get at least one this year.
