Ok.\u00a0 I do NOT get this.\u00a0 When a snowstorm hits, why do folks head to the store for bread and milk?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do they enjoy sitting in their dark, cold, power-outage kitchen snarfing down pieces of bread and swigging glasses of milk?\u00a0 To keep up their spirits AND\u00a0their strength??<\/span><\/p>\n

What about a little butter?\u00a0 (It\u2019s funnier if you say it this way: buh-dah.\u00a0 Buh-dah.\u00a0 Buh-dah buh-dah buh-dah.\u00a0 See?\u00a0 Funny.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Or howz about an egg or two??<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Cause really \u2013 bread and milk by themselves are a total non-starter.\u00a0 Add a little butter and an egg?\u00a0 And NOW you\u2019re cooking with oil!\u00a0 (Oil might also be something to add to your snowstorm grocery list.\u00a0 So you can cook with it.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless, of course, I\u2019m missing something and people are MAKING things with bread and milk as the two key ingredients?!\u00a0 And that\u2019s why they are so sought after when the snow hits??\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The only recipe I can think of would be bread mush.\u00a0 You make it by putting slices of bread in a bowl and then covering them\u00a0with milk.\u00a0 Wait until it\u2019s mushy.\u00a0 Then top with a sprinkling of sawdust from waaaaay baaaaack <\/em>in your bare cupboards.\u00a0 Nummy num num!\u00a0 Comfort food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a recipe for pot roast you can make with bread and milk?\u00a0 Or perhaps apple pie?!?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If not, then I say SKIP the bread and milk and just head-up the snowstorm grocery list with pot roast and apple pie.\u00a0 Because itSNOWstorm\u00a0(it’s no storm – get it?\u00a0 Me funny.)\u00a0grocery list a\u2019tall unless you have pot roast and pie.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/p>\n

My mother emailed me to let me know that in the East, people go to the store to buy bread, milk AND toilet paper (because you don’t want to be caught short on that staple).\u00a0 But I maintain that if you buy pot roast and apple pie instead, you do into some weird hibernation mode and\u00a0 end up\u00a0comatose on the couch and don’t need any toilet paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
