The worst thing about actually needing food items during a storm is having to pretend you aren't the people who are panicking.
My wife says to me while making her holiday rum balls,
"We need Corn Syrup"
"Ok"
"And bread and eggs"
"Is it because we are getting snowed in and are probably going to die?"
"No, we actually need the stuff".
So I go to the store to buy some stuff, and pick up some chipped steak to make cheesesteaks, and see total panic. People are buying bread, eggs, milk, cat litter and all sorts of stuff that they can't obviously live without for the 4 hours they might be snowed in.
The bread isle is literally bare. The only thing left is some low carb shit, and a few loaves of Hawaiian sweet bread.
In case you are cold like me, and in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the repleal of prohabition I want to include a recipe for a holiday festive drink called Boilo.
Ingredients
1 bottle (750ml) 101 proof blended whiskey
1 pint honey
2 cups water
2 TBS caraway seeds
2 cinamon sticks
Rind of 1 orange
Rind of 1 lemon.
Combine water, lemon and orange rinds, caraway seeds, cinamon sticks. Boil down till half water is gone. Remove from heat.
Add whiskey and honey and stir till dissolved.
Strain out particles and store in bottle.
Allow to sit for 24 hours and then serve warm.
This drink will be sure to warm you up!!
Cheers!!!
