Snow Days
the essentials~
- 1 dozen 3 flavored cake-like donuts. Hostess are the best, but grab whichever ones are left after the crazies ransack the grocery store. One year I walked 1.5 miles in 2 feet of snow to get them. They're that essential. The plain ones are mine. You guys can fight over the powdered and cinnamon ones.
- Good hot chocolate fixings: good cocoa powder, good vanilla extract, good chocolate chips.
- Blankie
- Remote
- Cereal and milk
- Cheese and bread for grilled cheese sandwiches
- Soup/stew/chili ingredients
That's what I need to make a snow day perfect. What about you?

I cooked tonight. I opened a bottle of wine and poured it in a glass.
Must. Have. Ketchup.
All the good foods require it.
Have you tried making hot chocolate with Abuelita Mexican chocolate?
It's pure decadence.
@ mist1
You are a true chef.
@ Katrice
If you say so. Funny how all my treats are sweet and yours are salty.
@ Crankster
No. But I shall. Thanks.
Are you staying home today? I am. I've been watching cars slide down my street for the last hour.
Ohhhh... grilled cheese sammiches!!! That hadn't even occurred to me, but now I think I'm going to get out my big old cast-iron skillet and have one!
I made chili again on Saturday as soon as I heard the snow forecast, so at least I did THAT much right!!!
I agree with your entire list 100%, but I want to add one more item:
- someone else to shovel out my driveway
Oh well... at least I got most of them covered. I'll be shoveling later this afternoon. sigh
@ Deb
Yep! I sure am. I almost died going to work in the ice 3 weeks ago. No repeats.
@ Andy
Ah, yes. Someone else to shovel the snow. Downside of being single. I share your pain.
@ HDD
Yum. I made dark chocolate chipotle cookies for Christmas. Lovely combination indeed.
I don't get snow days.
@ ~m~
That is tragic.
Perhaps it is, and I am in denial. I like the quiet when other people are off.
Are these snow days like for school, or do you have to make up the time?
@ ~m~
Nope. No make up days. With pay.
Okay, that is awesome.
I could take time, but I'd feel guilty, and I don't want to waste vacation time on days when I can't drive.
