The Snow Five

145057857_260d8e5332

It’s funny in DC. People are freaking the fuck out about this snow. Granted, local weather makers claim this “snowmageddon” will be historic with accumulation reaching two feet. And in dorky DC fashion, there’s even the self-important, self-deprecating website: Snowpocalypse.

Well, to be fair, a plain clothes-ed cop whipped out his gun at a snow ball fight last time we found flakes falling from the sky.

Anyway, 80 and I were contemplating our needs for a possible (and historic for us!) second grocery store run of the week. I thought about what my cravings would be over a weekend of drinking and sledding. And that’s when I knew I could survive on 5 things.

Sure, I didn’t want to and 80 and I both ended up venturing to the store. He bought milk, bagels, beer and wine. I bought two sweet potatoes, two buttercup squashes, a pound of mixed, salted nuts and a crate of clementines. But all I really needed was…

The Snow Five

1) Eggs
2) Bagels
3) Cream Cheese
4) Potato Chips
5) Coke

What’s your Snow Five?

    @gansie – gotta be prepared. what if you’re snowed in and your dinner doesn’t taste rich and earthy enough? my personal nightmare.

    ps – how can it be that NY is slated for 3 to 6 inches and you guys are getting half the north pole?
