Another storm approaching...I was at Safeway last night and the mob scene was already present. When you take a step back and really think of the biggest snows here, I do not think there has been any storm which truly kept people isolated for more than 48 hours. Even in the biggest of storms, we are able to get in our cars and drive to the stores within 48 hours at the latest. How much milk, bread, toilet paper, etc can a family plow through in 48 hours? The run on the supermarkets in anticipation of a storm is to a alrge extent instinctual. It is similar to the squirrels burying their nuts. We feel compelled to have a house stocked with food and sundries to give us piece of mind that we will not go hungry or lack anything. Intellectually we know that all we really need is 2 days worth of food but we buy extraordinary amounts of food sources.
The temptation on these days is to start whipping up food in the kitchen. From snackfoods like popcorn to large meals to baking cakes and cookies....we feel compelled to fire up that stoove and take out lots of that food we bought (and waited on line to check out for).
These are the days that Posner tells you to use that exercise equipment that is in youtr basement. Also, create a novel dish in the kitchen that is LOW caloric. Buy some great protein source..lobster tails, a fine roast and spend lots of time seasoning it and slow cooking...make that feast high protein.
Do not let the snow days become "Uh oh" days.
