French Onion Soup

Food always tastes best on a cold, windy beach. One of the best meals I ever had was at Half Moon Bay. It was a pot of pinto beans and grilled franks. Un believably good.

Yup, this is now a blizzard (named "Winter Storm Nemo") of "epic proportions". We're supposed to get between 12-18" and LI/eastern CT is really supposed to get "nailed" (per the weather service). Thank you news media for playing down the panic! But in truth, it's good to be prepared. Although the supermarket shelves are already getting depleted. Crazy. I'm making my lists now for Russ to do an early shopping trip tomorrow.

Sorry for the hijack. We might need a new post if this is really as bad as its predicted.

I'd kill for 18" of snow...

And, we know how to handle it here. It takes at least three feet to get our ire up.

Take care everyone in the NE.

What's everyone preparing to cook while snowbound?

It would be a good soup day! Keep warm everyone!

DH's flights to and from the East coast got messed up going both ways due to the back to back blizzards. Thank goodness he got away from the coast before the airports closed, and that he was coming home through Ottawa and not Toronto, otherwise he would not have gotten home...his trip there started Sunday afternoon and ended Tuesday midnight....it was a 3 city plane diversion! Coming home he just missed the flights being cancelled. His colleague was on the same flight route leaving an hour later, and is now stuck until things blow over.

Are you ok Jean?

We're good thanks! School buses were cancelled so the kids were home, I had to go downtown for a sales conference (AKA how to watch the sales people consume as much alcohol as possible) and whle the trip down on the bus was fine as I waited until after they plowed the highway and off ramps, the cab ride home was horrendous. Next time I will be sure to ask for a cab with winter tires. We got stuck for 45 minutes after dropping one person off on an unplowed street.
Kids had a great snow day and toboganned and built snowmen. Today the world is back to normal.
