I need to get serious. So, I have been working on following counsel from our church leaders, FEMA, and the Red Cross to get my emergency preparations complete. So that's a 3 month supply of pantry items, 3 days of water for drinking and daily use, first aid kit organized, evacuation plans complete and then additional long term food storage items to sustain us for a year...... wheat, legumes, oils, powdered milk, etc. I would say that I have earned a B-. I could do better but we'd be okay for a while.
Until today. I have learned that I have failed myself. We are all snowed in today and church was cancelled and I DO NOT HAVE the necessary supplies to satisfy my sweet tooth.
I tried:
*Evan's chocolate cheater cake.....no chocolate cake mix.
*chocolate chip cookies.....no brown sugar??????
*pumpkin bars.....no pumpkin
*brownies.....no butter (I've been trying to not have this on hand on purpose)
I am sure that I can come up with something. I happen to know that Erin made cakes today and if I have to go bang on her door, I will.
Oh, and by the way, I already have a list of things that I will be purchasing bright and early tomorrow morning to keep in my supplies. This will not happen again, if only for Blair's sake.

OH that is sooo funny! I have been going thru the same thing. I have no brownie mixes. I have cake mix but no frosting. (no I'm not up to making it from scratch today) I wanted quick and easy sugar! And the worst thing..no ice cream! I'll see ya at the store.
I have three quarters of a huge quadruple-layer Cherry Chocolate Torte cake over here if anyone's willing to brave the snow! (Seriously, because what else I'm I going to do with it? My kids won't touch it...it has cherries.)
