The week before I left for my ThanksMAS vacation, I made sure to eat all the food in my refrigerator. I didn’t want any of it to go bad while I was in Ohio. The plan was to go grocery shopping when I returned. That was the plan. Mother Nature had another plan. Almost since I arrived back to Seattle, I’ve been snowed in.
It is a good thing I considered the possibility of a banking collapse in late September. I loaded up on frozen and canned food. Fortunately, the banking crisis didn’t come. What happened was as simple as a blizzard in a town that refuses to put salt on the roads.
No problem for me. I’ve got plenty of food supplies. I’ve made soups, pastas, curries and stir-frys. It should be noted that I have made three snow hikes for fresh espresso beans. I’m not a savage. 
After all these years reading your blog, I know how you feel about snowy, icy, crappy weather! Hope things are thawing out up there =)
Would you believe I actually enjoyed it? It appears to have melted, so things are back to normal.
