Welcome Snowpocalpyse!

How is your weekend going so far?! I am thoroughly enjoying this snow. If you're on the east coast, you know what I'm talking about. Winter has officially arrived, and apparently it is only going to get worse. All of this 70 degree weather we've been getting recently has been seriously complicating my wardrobe picks anyways. Hopefully, you all are inside, bundled up on the couch, and watching some Netflix (unlike some of these poor souls on my street shoveling snow).

To me, snow days are all about pigging out! And today is no exception. I hope some of you agree. Forget the diet and the health rule that says I can only have one glass of wine a day (if you're a guy, you're allowed two...so unfair). Not that I necessarily follow that rule to a T on a daily basis, but that is besides the point.

 

^Truth. I feel pretty prepared for this snowmageddon. I've got a butane portable stove, plenty of toilet paper, and gallons of water. My fridge is super stocked with food right now- guac, chicken, steak, yogurt, like 20 types of cheese, you name it- so if the power goes out, you can probably expect me to be lying on my kitchen floor stuffing all the food I can into my mouth. Don't judge.

For those of you who know me, you know that my day revolves around my next meal. Food is part of the joy of living, amirite? My commitment to this philosophy is probably why I can't seem to shed these last five pounds to save my life. 

Anyways, tonight is short ribs (cooked sous vide for two days by my wonderful boyfriend) and sweet potato fries. If you're a food nerd, you already appreciate the genius of sous vide cooking. If you aren't familiar and you love meat, you seriously need to get in on this. Google it. My boyfriend uses the Anova cooker. Thank me later. Also, did you know that you have to soak sweet potato fries (or any fries) in cold water for like an hour before you bake them? Otherwise they become sad, soggy, and limp. Ew.  

Well, I hope you are having an amazing day and were prepared for this mess by stocking up on plenty of beer and wine! Any noteworthy food/booze plans?
