Shopping pandemonium....
I went to HEB yesterday to pick up a few things I needed to make tacos for dinner. The parking lot was brimming with cars looking for spots. We, kevin and I, happen to get lucky and catch a car leaving, sure it was in the very back but we didnt care. I love shopping but only at the groceries store. I picked out one of the small shopping carts because I knew it was going to be crazy inside and the big ones just clog up the isles.
As I walked in it wasnt nearly as frantic as I would have thought. There was not a long line at any of the checkouts and everyone wasnt running to the water. Why do people run to the water? Its only supposed to freeze..its not the end of the world. I am positive that you will still be able to get water from your house. Or if that doesnt work melt some of the ice. Anyways I got my normal veggies to make some pico and tortillas for the tacos.
I found a few other goodies for later in the week. If tomorrow turns out to be icy then what a better project then to try and make a deep dish pizza? I just got a brand new deep dish pan that i have been wanting to try out. I will let you know how it goes. I dont know how much else I will cook this week because I have enough leftovers from lasts night cooking to cover me for the rest of the week. I grew up watching my parents cook for 8 and when I started cooking I was cooking for at least 5 or 6 people and I have no clue how to cook for just me.
Getting back to the story, I got a bunch of that wasnt frozen and kevin took care of the frozen stuff. He is the microwave king. We headed for the checkout. I was surprised and impressed that they had every checkout open. It was awesome, I love HEB. The lady said that today was bigger then their grand opening.
Bigger then the grand opening?!? That just screams idiocy. I understand that some people were just there to pick up the weekly staples but alot of people were not. They were out of break and most of the water was gone (I still dont understand that one). You can live off of nothing for two days and still be fine. Its not going to last for forever. Just pick up a few things to make for the next couple of days, maybe some hot chocolate, which wasnt out to my surprise and stay comfortable in your house. At least I know the next couple of days will be dead in HEB so I can shop in peace.

It's been mid 60s here in Tennessee. Interesting, I thought I moved north to colder weather.
