Look, I'm from New York, so I don't really understand how this all works. When it looked like this hurricane might hit Houston and be "serious" (i.e. not a pathetic drizzle that canceled my flight home last month, or the sunny day that was Gustav here), I'm more than willing to buy into the buzz and prepare in case I find myself without power and fighting with my boyfriend's cats over food. I went to Kroger (a supermarket, for all you Yankees) and stood in a surprisingly polite line after scraping the bottom of the barrel for supplies. There was no more water at all, only a few sports drinks and Lipton green tea. The bread was almost all out, except for English muffins, and, inexplicably, bagels. WHO DOESN'T LOVE BAGELS? I don't understand the south. So I wound up buying bagels, assorted canned vegetables, and baked beans. Have I ever bought baked beans before in my life? Are baked beans produced exclusively for hurricanes? I have so much to learn.RATING: 36%
Last night the only soup left at 2 separate Kroger's was New England Clam Chowder. It made me laugh inside.
ReplyDeleteI hope you bought the Bush's baked beans. Those are the best. And hey, vitamin water might be actually better than real water in a survival situation since it would provide you with water, calories, and vitamins instead of just water.
ReplyDeleteThere was plenty of Lone Star at the Fiesta I went to. Now there is no longer plenty of Lone Star.
