Golden butter. Salt dipped potato chips. Greek Yogurt. A block of cheese. A bag of candy. Does this sound like a delicious meal? Well, I hope I never find out. You see, I made the startling discovery today that I still have widow's brain.

And I thought I was back to normal.

Here's how it all started. We're getting blasted here with a snow storm that promises to drop over 18 inches of snow. So, I go out, hoping to stock up in case I get snowed in. I bought tons of food, including the butter, candy, cheese, potato chips and the greek yogurt. I had so much to carry that I could barely make it up the stairs. I purchased one of those battery chargers too, thinking if the power went out(and they say the high winds made this a great possiblity), I could plug a lamp into the thing and cuddle up with a good book.. Or I could watch TV. Anything that uses 400 watts of power would work on the thing. That means no heater, no microwave, no electric toaster.

Which brings me to the wonderful meal I'll end up eating if I do lose power. That's right, the only thing I can possibly eat that doesn't require heat is the delicious meal I mentioned. Everything else I have needs to be cooked--cooked on my electric stove.

Why didn't I think of that?



So here I am with so much food I could stay inside for a year, but I better hope that butter can last that long, because if the power goes, so does my appetite.
