The snow of the decade is upon us. Or so Bob Ryan tells me. And if you live in the greater DC area, you believe Bob Ryan. Besides, there are about 5 inches of snow out there already and it's starting to snow heavier, so there is plenty of evidence to suggest that Bob knows what is going on.
Like a good DC area resident, I headed to the grocery store today to stock up on "necessities." Like a good Old Town resident, I went to Whole Foods. I arrived shortly after the snow had started and the federal government had been released for the day. I learned a few things about humans in snow storms while there.
1 - People like bananas and red onions and will buy the store out of these items before a historic snow storm.
2 - When told there is buy one, get one free shrimp cocktail, people will insist they need four to make it through the weekend.
3 - The store had both milk and bread - but no dark chocolate.
4 - My husband will not be snow bound without chocolate chip cookies.
So what did I get? Spinach (the last package of baby spinach to be precise), salmon, cream cheese, some bubbly, sour dough bread, milk, Annie's mac and cheese, salt and vinegar chips and ginger chews. I hope we make it through the night until the Safeway opens up. We only have two dozen chocolate chip cookies. . .
