ironymaiden | snow day

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.
