It's now a waiting game for "winter weather." At the grocery store this morning, I noticed most of the aisles were stocked, except milk was more scarce than usual. I had dinner last night with a group of food writers, and they were all discussing their pantry stocks:

  • bourbon
  • wine
  • tacos
  • a growler of craft beer
  • frozen pizza
  • Brasstown Beef
  • Atlanta Fish Market shrimp

A quirky list, yes, but it reveals the desires for comfort food and booze. My roommate made sure we had flour and baking essentials so that she could make cinnamon rolls when the snow begins falling. Me? I stocked up on a random assortment of fruits and veggies: bananas, apples, oranges and beets- not to mention a bottle of bubbly.

How about you- what did you make sure to have in the pantry or refrigerator in case you are snowed in?
