my grandboss has officially said stay home. (which i was already doing because WSDOT and C said so.)

i just got coffee and groceries. it's solid ice from my house to QFC. since (of course) we have no snow shovel, i found myself de-icing our back steps with kosher salt. good thing i just bought five pounds at Big John's.

i have the curtains open to catch all of the sunshine glinting off of the ice. the heaters are making little ticking noises.

soon enough i will make me some white-trash comfort food. one of the few things i retained from girl scout camp (besides that little girls in groups are whiny and boring) was a canned food classic: bags of gold. that would be dumplings made from canned biscuit dough wrapped around a chunk of processed cheese (ideally velveeta, but folded american slices will do) cooked in canned tomato soup. these days when i indulge the soup is low-sodium and organic, but there's really nothing to be done to make the dumplings any healthier. today i don't care. it's bloody cold.

I'm veering towards Ramen and Kraft Dinner, but that might be the Canadian college student in me.

We never did "Bags of Gold" at girl guide camp. But we did do greasy as hell toad in a hole (which is actually egg in a hole, and which bizarrely, I just found a recipe for by [livejournal.com profile] julesong), which I loved.

I know it as 'eggy in the basket' which I think my grandmother picked up when she lived in Britain. Not that it matters anymore. My body hasn't recognized eggs as food for the better part of 4 years now.

Oh, and clearly we learned very different things from Girl Guide camp. I learned that Campfire songs are awesome, how to toast kick-ass marshmallows, and that Truth or Dare brings out the teeny lesbian in all manner of preteen girls.
