We have eaten all our hurricane snacks

[WebmasterJohn]

We went shopping 2 days ago to get 'supplies' for the hurricane but we have eaten all of the hurricane snacks already.

Note to self....wait until last minute to buy emergency chocolate!!

[BRobson]

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I would have done the same - did you have anything tasty?

[mpetti]

:cool1: Would have done the same!!! Hope you enjoyed them and run out fast and buy more. LOL.:happytv:

[SamIAm21]

OMG!! That so sounds like something I would do!!
:lmao:

[crazydisneyman]

It is all about chocolate with you guys.

It is with me too, but come on, a hurricane is coming.

I guess you could argue that it will melt once the power goes out, so...... :lmao:

either that or find a better hiding place!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Dale-Not-Chip]

For so many people it's milk and bread. Chocolate just sounds so much better.

[kab407]

You two crack me up! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Who needs bread, eggs and milk? I head for the liquor store first.

Stay safe.

[VanMickey]

That is a riot.
I can just see you guys shopping. "Milk?, nah...TP?, nah...chocolate?, grab the box!"

[wildeoscar]

costco size packages, and the big bottles at the liquor store.

[Wild4Walt]

:lmao:

Now you'll have to stick to the last few bags of beef jerky at the sundries shop!

[TXYankee]

Can you get an emergency same day delivery from Garden Grocerys?

Fill the bathtub with clean water and the pantry with chocolate!!!

[Iggipolka]

OMG, I can so relate.
Here in California, we keep earthquake supplies always handy in a closet below the stairs. This means bottles of water, canned food, dried fruit, powerbars and chocolate. ;) For some reason, I keep having to replace the chocolate bars on a monthly basis. Those damn mice seem to find those candy bars all the time. :rotfl2:

Seriously though, I've been thinking about ya all and sending positive thoughts that Faye just passes you by!

[cccm]

One person needs to do the shopping and hide the good stuff. Put chocolate behind the fruit and veggies in the fridge. That is what I do to DH. The Thin Mints (yes I still have 200 boxes of GS Cookies) go in the freezer behind the oatmeal and bread crumbs.

When needed they miraculously are found (I have a corner poke out).

Now my question.....what happens if you lose power....chocolate is wonderful, but not when melted.

What did you get for salty snack??

Here is hoping that Fay misses you and DSister in St. Augustine.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Perhaps Owner's Locker would come in handy under these circumstances -- you fill your locker with the chocolate shown below and make them promise to wait until the last minute to deliver!

[LilGMom]

That sounds like something I would do, lol. You still have time to replenish your supplies.

[hideeh]

According to Pete's latest blog update you still have time....

May I recommend the new Premium M&M's in Raspberry Almond. They don't melt as quick as regular M&M's. Also the new Dove Bars. It looks like one big one but it is actually 3 individual bars. My personal favorite flavor is Blueberry Almond. I have noticed that it takes longer to eat the whole thing when you have to stop between bars to unwrap.

Good luck on the chocolate refill and stay safe.

[BriarRosie]

What's "emergency chocolate"?

There's no possible way I could keep chocolate around long enough for it to become "emergency chocolate". I think it's a myth.

Got almost the same e-mail from my daughter in Tampa- Last I looked it was heading in that direction- but the cone thingie was over all of central Florida.

[safetymom]

I should stay at your house. :) I forgot to get chocolate. My friend from Pittsburgh sent me a box of Nutri System items in case of a hurricane. That's no fun. I want chocolate!!!!! :)

[DebºoºS]

You 2 are sooooo funny:rotfl:

OMG, a hurricane without wine & chocolate:faint:

Hurry, get some for the house and a stash for each other. Then hide each others. During the hurricane you could play hide and go seek.

The only chocolate safe around me is dark choclate. It would be a cat 6 dire emergency for me to eat dark chocolate :scared:ick...pppp...

[WebmasterJohn]

What did you get for salty snack??

Our grocery store has a sale now - 3 canisters of Frito Lay products for $3 - we got 2 cans of Fritos and 1 can of Cheetos - those are all gone as well. I convinced Kevin they are mostly air anyway and that's how they 'get you'.

By my calculation I still have 12 hours before the first line of rains come through. Plenty of time to head back to the store.

[bcvdreamer]

You have plenty of time to restock.

LOL, My husband carries emergency chocolate, he says that he feel safer with it around. He throws chocolate at me certain times of the month and says if he ever runs out he might die an untimely death.......... C'mon we all know men exaggerate!:rolleyes:

He thinks midol should be chocolate covered pills! :rotfl:

Last night for dinner we had ice cream. My kids loved it and I told them that if we lost power I would worry about it all meting, so we just ate it! Seriously, stay safe to everyone on vacation and the locals! We are ready down here in polk county. Ughh the price we pay to live in beautiful central FLA!

[safetymom]

We just had heavy rains but it has stopped now.

I will have to stock up on snacks too. I didn't think of that.

[Tissa]

That happened to us when Rita was coming. We were out driving around trying to find anything open. We finally found a gas station and ran in there and started grabbing junk. You would think we were never going to see a store open again.

[Regina]

My MIL always squirreled away giant Nestle bars. You just never knew when a hurricane was going to hit Queens, NY. ;)

Stay safe!! :hug:

[kimbac3]

I always keep about 12 Hershey bars in our pantry. It's part of our Storm prep. Believe me there are times when my 16 yr old DD REALLY needs to be fed Chocolate:rotfl2: Plus if we decided to have a campfire and smores they are always at the ready!!

John - Don't forget flashlights and batteries. Oil lamps are nice too!!

Be safe!!

who needs a campfire for smores? My idea of roughing it is black and white TV, so camping would be awful and they frown on campfires in residential areas. :eek:

Try making them in the microwave!!! I'm also a big fan of instantaneous gratification...:thumbsup2

[CDolacki2003]

John dont feel bad we just ate our emergency hurricane chocolate too, oh I forgot we live in Cleveland Ohio and we dont get hurricaines.

Not sure exactly what emergency requires chocolate, though. Or is it all of them? :confused3

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

This is so funny. Sounds like my house. LOL. Run to the stores and get enough for a month, thats what I would do. I could not be without my snacks.:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[WebmasterJohn]

Kevin just came home with more Cheetos and Hershey chocolates. We are officially ready to hunker down (the good kind, not the squatting kind).

[LMO429]

My fiance and I love cheetos!!! I can always tell when my fiance has had them without me, the orange powder from them gets all over everything..I called them his CHEETOS FINGERPRINTS, he always leaves evidence at the scene of the crime!!! ..Detective LMO is on the case! ;)

[Mouse Skywalker]

Kevin just came home with more Cheetos and Hershey chocolates. We are officially ready to hunker down (the good kind, not the squatting kind).So you guys are ready to hunker down like two boy scouts?

[Jacklynn]

haha we still have a little left, though I got some canned food, forgetting that if we don't have power having canned soup won't help much... haha cold canned soup YUMMY!

hopefully we don't loose power/don't loose it for very long.

[Tissa]

Cheetos are a staple at my house. I pick up a big bag of the mini bags every week. Hunker down is the running joke in my house. Anytime there is a possibility of a TS or Hurricane the media starts saying hunker down constantly.

[clombardi]

John, Did Kevin come home with his mom and dad, too? I am worried about them! Did you guys bring them chocolate?

[Minnie Lor]

It happens every Halloween for us. Can't buy the goodies til the day before.

[DisneyKevin]

John, Did Kevin come home with his mom and dad, too? I am worried about them! Did you guys bring them chocolate?

Mom and Dad are across the street and yes...they got snacks as well. :thumbsup2

[Cool-Beans]

I just keep coming back to this thread because the title actuall did make me laugh out loud. :rotfl:

I'm going to remember this when my dreams come true and I get to live in Florida...treat hurricanes like Halloween. ::yes:: If the stuff gets bought to early, it will have to be re-purchased when the time comes.

[Jubilee]

lmao

[vikingfans]

For us...hunker down means a blizzard is comming BRRRRR! Can't even think about winter right now!! Even in a blizzard, emergency chocolate is a MUST!!

I would be buying the snacks like 5 times.

[Stacy's a freak]

I don't know about you all, but this sounds like a cry for help! I say we all go down there and bring provisions (i.e., cheetos, frunyons (sp?), nutter butters, nilla wafers, baby ruths, etc.). On second thought ... podcasters, beware of large care packages cloggin up your mailbox!

[WLfan]

I say we all have a sympathy hunker. I'll get the Hershey's ...

[crazydisneyman]

BTW, They have these new M&M chocolate combinations. They are in boxes and they are really good.

You can get them at WalMart in the checkout aisle. :lmao:

[robind]

This is one of the funniest thread titles I've ever read. :lmao:

Yes, all emergencies require chocolate as do all dementor attacks.

[robind]

We do occasionally get the hurricane warnings around here, but in the winter it's the big snowstorms.

I think a lot of them are put out by the grocery stores.

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the one thing that always sells out everytime there is a hurricane or snowstorm warning.....

TP:confused3

[mjperry]

Well you better get you own, you can depend on FEMA to get it there on time. I heard announced that FEMA will no longer hand out Ice after something like that so betetr get ice.

[BriarRosie]

TMI! If you're going to start waxing poetic about an "intestinal flume ride", I'll start calling you Pamelia Perkins. Kungaloosh. ;)

But when I see the word "hunker", I immediately think of dialects that include
hankerin' (leave off the g). As in, "I've got me a powerful hankerin' for some of that there Emergency Chocolate!"

Yes, all emergencies require chocolate as do all dementor attacks.

OMG Robin. Now I'm picturing John and Kevin being attacked by Dementors. Think happy thoughts to conjure those patronuses! Or is that patronii? :rotfl2:

[aGoofyMom]

Yes, all emergencies require chocolate as do all dementor attacks.

This emergency dispatcher doesn't even go to work without emergency chocolate & salty crunchies. My lunch bag has a separate compartment for such things. My Co-workers laugh until we get hit with a big storm or a bad call & I place a chocolate on their desk. ;)

Of course I get chipnuts for my salty crunchies. In the big plastic peanut...


stay safe & dry!

Harry Potter - Azkaban. Harry uses his patronus to fend off dementors. Harry's patronus takes the form of a stag, which represents his dad. Dementors are nasty creatures that suck all the happiness out of you. To recover from dementors being near, people eat chocolate to make them feel better.

[WLfan]

Only the Maggie Smith parts....and not even them so much.

I didnt like the Ring movies either.

Kevin, you have to read the books. The movies do not do them justice!

On your next road trip up to NJ, pick up a copy of HP and the Sorcerers Stone on audio book (from the library) and listen to it. It's read to you by Jim Dale, who does a fantastic job!

DH wanted nothing to do with HP and this is how DD and I got him hooked on HP! :goodvibes

Totally agree. I didn't care for the movies at first, but then I read the first book with my then 6 yo. He now reads them on his own, but I've since read a couple more of them. Reading the book then seeing the movie is much more enjoyable.

Gotta say though, I couldn't stand the rings movies either! bleeck...

Coco,

I totally agree with you! The books are so much better than the movies, and I don't read books. I read book five in two and a half days (842 pages) Yikes!

Anyway, Kevin read the books with chocolate in your hand. Did I mention that there are new M&M's out there and they are yummy...... :thumbsup2

[Stacy's a freak]

Or better yet, look for the HP books on tape/cd and listen to them in the car when you're driving around ... or put them on your ipod. The narrator is Jim Dale who is EXCELLENT! I almost prefer to hear him read these books than to hear the movie characters talk!

[Michele]

ok....I have no idea what you are all talking about.

I'm lost.

Wewww...I thought I was the only one.


No Rings or HP for me either, although DH and the DS's enjoy them. I even read the 1st and 2nd books to the boys when they were younger, but still didn't get into it.

[MenashaCorp]

aww a khat flying by to save the day:sad1: :grouphug:


Yup. That's what initially came to mind. Or a boot. Kind of bittersweet. *sigh*


ANY-WAYYYYY....... I agree that reading the HP books make the movies more enjoyable. They are a great read, too.

I used to listen to audio books, then I got hooked on podcasts...

Here's a hijack pirate: -

What book/types of book would you like to hear Kevin and John read as an audio book?

"Two DISFloridians' Guide to Hurricane Survival - Hunkering with Snacks 101" would be an instant bestseller!! :rotfl: I'd listen. Ooo!! Package the audio book with Dove Chocolate!!! I'm gonna be RICH!!!!! :rotfl2:

one little tid bit left out

--- Harry's patronus is a Stag because his father was able to change into a stag. a wizard able to do this os called an animagus. So it is as if his father even in death will always be there to protect him.



I also agree with cocowum!!!! you need to read the books to be totally in love with the story!

I also believe that anyone who says movie three is the best movie then they're delusional!!!!

and Jim Dale is brilliant!!!!

[DexLabDeeDee]

I HAVE to chime in here and say that Jim Dale is AMAZING! He does such a good job with the characters' voices. You wouldn't even need the "Hermione said" "Harry said" "Ron said", you can tell who is talking just by his voice. And my favorite voice character for him is Prof McGonagall.

If you are on the fence with whether or not to try the Harry Potter books - do yourself a favor and get the audio books!

[WebmasterJohn]

Last night was the worst of the storm for us and required our best hunkering down.

Kevin finished his chocolates (Hershey's Nuggests, Dark Chocolate Truffles) I still have 1/3 of a big of mine (Hershey's Nuggests, Milk Chocolate).

We both have salty snacks left but I am down to my last 1/2 bag of Cheetos - if I run out I may have to call FEMA.

Just so you don't think we eat like 13 year olds who's parents are out for the evening - we did go over to Kevin's folks house for dinnner. His Mom made one of our favorite pasta dishes and Kevin made homemade Italian wedding soup - OMG he makes awesome soups!!!!

Once I informed them what FEMA really stood for then they all got a great kick out of it. Fritos are the first item to go in our vending machine.

Any way we can get a description of said favorite pasta dish?

This description will confirm if you are in fact 13 year olds or give us a new food comment. Which will help us get by until the podcast is posted.

Example - If you say you had spaghetti, Ragu and Kraft Parmesan Cheese....well then we can confirm you are 13. :lmao:

[robind]

I must agree with you on that, I have only listened to them, I have a lot of long commutes so that is what got me started on the audio books.

Jim Dale also does the narration/ voice over on Pushing Daisies and there is a character on there named Lily and every time he says that it reminds me of Harry's mom.

[GabbyMom]

Kevin made homemade Italian wedding soup - OMG he makes awesome soups!!!!

I want the recipe. My family doesn't believe in soup with meatballs. I must change their minds.

[WebmasterJohn]

Any way we can get a description of said favorite pasta dish?

She makes a very light sauce with pancetta, olive oil, onions, garlic and crushed tomatoes - poured over penne and topped with fresh basil and fresh ground cheese.

She also makes a killer red sauce with meatballs and sausage - but that's an all day event and when she makes it we have enough to freeze and have multiple meals.

Last night she also made tomatoes with mozzarella in olive oil and balsamic glaze.

She treats us good :worship:

[DisneyKevin]

I want the recipe. My family doesn't believe in soup with meatballs. I must change their minds.

This is sort of my version of a Rachel Ray recipe. None of it is carved in stone and you can change it to suit your taste

128 oz box chicken stock (two 48 oz boxes and one 32 oz box)
Olive Oil
Carrots
Celery
Onion
Chicken bouillion cubes
Ground Beef and Pork- approx 2 lbs ish (Publix calls it Meatloaf mix - 2/3 beef 1/3 pork))
Parsley
Grated Italian cheese (asiago, parmesean, locatelli...anything you like)
Bread crumbs
Orzo pasta (any small pasta will work)
Basil
Zest of one lemon

Nothing is really measured. It's all a bit of guessing.

In a large stock pot, put a couple of tablespoons of olive oil (enough to coat bottom of pot)
Add diced celery, carrots and onion and saute
Add chicken stock
add 5 bouillion cubes crushed
Bring to a boil

Ok....my Mom doesnt eat onions or celery, so I strain the stuff out of the liquid at this point. If you like the stuff in the soup...leave it in.

Lower heat to simmer

Mix ground beef beef and pork in a bowl with chopped parsley, a handfull of bread crumbs and a handful of grated cheese. Mix well.

I use a melon baller / ice cream scoop to make mini meatballs. You can do it by hand but it's tedious. Makes 36 - 40 approx)

Slowly (and very carefully) add meatballs to stock.

If you have strained the stuff out of the stock, I'd add about a pound of crinkle cut carrot slices. If you have left the stuff in....you dont need to do this.

Add 1/2 box or orzo. Dont add whole box even though you want to. Orzo absorbs a lot of liquid

Bring to a boil again,

Add fresh chopped basil and lemon zest.

Lower temp and simmer.

Salt to taste.

Thats it.

You can add anything you want. I have done this with diced chicken tenders instead of the meatballs.

I have done it with beef stock instead of chicken.

Both were ok...but the original seems to be the most popular.

john and my Mom seem to love this.

It's great comfort food.

[GabbyMom]

Thanks Kevin I can't wait to get cooking.

[adsrtw]

Thanks John & Kevin. Both recipes sound like you had awesome grub, but neither recipes sound like teenager food ~ definitely twenty-something food choices. :teeth:

[DebºoºS]

Thanks Kevin! I added it to my recipe folder naming it "Kevin's Wedding DISoup" mmm sounds so comforting. Can't wait to try it.

Love you guys:lovestrucglad you're safe:hug:

Ok....my Mom doesnt eat onions or celery, so I strain the stuff out of the liquid at this point. If you like the stuff in the soup...leave it in.

Lower heat to simmer

Mix ground beef beef and pork in a bowl with chopped parsley, a handfull of bread crumbs and a handful of grated cheese. Mix well.

I use a melon baller / ice cream scoop to make mini meatballs. You can do it by hand but it's tedious. Makes 36 - 40 approx)

Slowly (and very carefully) add meatballs to stock.

If you have strained the stuff out of the stock, I'd add about a pound of crinkle cut carrot slices. If you have left the stuff in....you dont need to do this.

Add 1/2 box or orzo. Dont add whole box even though you want to. Orzo absorbs a lot of liquid

Bring to a boil again,

Add fresh chopped basil and lemon zest.

Lower temp and simmer.

Salt to taste.

Thats it.

You can add anything you want. I have done this with diced chicken tenders instead of the meatballs.

Both were ok...but the original seems to be the most popular.

john and my Mom seem to love this.

It's great comfort food.

This is sort of my version of a Rachel Ray recipe. None of it is carved in stone and you can change it to suit your taste

128 oz box chicken stock (two 48 oz boxes and one 32 oz box)
Olive Oil
Carrots
Celery
Onion
Chicken bouillion cubes
Ground Beef and Pork- approx 2 lbs ish (Publix calls it Meatloaf mix - 2/3 beef 1/3 pork))
Parsley
Grated Italian cheese (asiago, parmesean, locatelli...anything you like)
Bread crumbs
Orzo pasta (any small pasta will work)
Basil
Zest of one lemon

Nothing is really measured. It's all a bit of guessing.

In a large stock pot, put a couple of tablespoons of olive oil (enough to coat bottom of pot)
Add diced celery, carrots and onion and saute
Add chicken stock
add 5 bouillion cubes crushed
Bring to a boil

Try a meatball mix of 1/3 beef, 1/3 pork and 1/3 veal. Ir makes them very tender and you know the saying...the cuter the animal, the better it tastes!! and "veals" are very cute!!
