My heart is going out to the Midwest
A frozen storm of unaliving is heading to the Midwest this weekend. They are expecting some areas to lose power for days.
If you are stocking up, focus on foods that are easy to warm, or can be eaten cold, in case the power goes out. Canned beans ( not dried beans). Tuna or other canned fish. Crackers. Cheese. Peanut butter. Dates. Big bottles of water. Olives. Salsa. Pita bread. Canned fruit. Dried fruit (if you enjoy it). All the kid snacks.
Pick up any medications that need to be refilled in the next week or so.
Stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol. Close off all the rooms you don't need. Don't use scented candles (they can affect lung health). Wool and silk layers will not pick up body odors as much as man made fibers. Try to open the fridge as little as possible.
Download the rules for a few card games (I'm a big gin rummy fan). Build a blanket fort (even grown ups). Maybe precook a batch or two of oatmeal cookies or homemade granola bars.
Wishing you warm weather quickly.
What are your go to foods for emergency events?
