Bread, milk, and eggs
Friday, January 29, 2010
So, when you see all of those things what is the first thing that comes to mind? For me, two things come to mind. First, I think about French toast. Second, I think there is the threat of a snowstorm in NC.
Everyone who lives in NC or even in the South will understand this phenomenon. When there is the threat of ice or snow, basically any sort of winter weather, a lot of people flock to the grocery stores and buy them out of bread, milk, and eggs. These seem to be the only things that everybody wants and the shelves are truly empty. You cannot even buy English muffins or hamburger buns. Coming from Michigan I don't fully understand this. I appreciate the idea of making sure you are fully stocked when the threat of being stuck inside occurs, however, why these items? Shortly after I experienced this the first time Alan joked with me that everybody must be making French toast...because what else can you make with bread, milk, and eggs?
So, we are currently under a winter weather watch right now for Friday night into Saturday. We may have freezing rain or we may have lots and lots of snow or we may have absolutely nothing. The weather forecast is always up in the air when it comes to winter weather here. It was in the low 60s today.
I'll keep you posted on how this all sorts itself out...I suspect that regardless of the weather we will not be having French toast...

Other than the bread, I've never figured out why people would want to choose items that need refrigeration when there's a chance the power might go out.
