Stormin'

Yesterday, I thought I take a trip into the city to get some storm shots. Got as far as the main drag, grabbed a coffee and a slice of breakfast pizza, thought better of it and headed home. I really didn't want to get caught in a major traffic jam coming home. Two to three hours in a car in some major snow would not be a fun way to end the afternoon. So, it ended up an afternoon on the couch watching a Laurel and Hardy film fest on TCM. I'm addicted to them! It was 24 hours of hilarity. I could watch them for hours. Hey, I did!
btw- We got 15 inches at the back door.

  1. Way to brave the elements! Looks like you made a wise decision returning home. I don't know what I'm more surprised about: the near whiteout conditions or that gas is $3.19 a gallon.

  2. That's a lot of snow; how did you open the back door??

  3. Yesterday was a good day to stay in. We got about the same amount of snow. Can't help but notice those gas prices creeping up!

  4. With those gas prices, 5 hours in the car would be hard on the wallet.

  5. Good grief, what gas prices. Between the price of gas and the snow, you made the best decision. Glad you are safe and warm.

  6. Wait. Breakfast pizza? Is that just pizza-for-breakfast or is it something new I haven't heard of, such as eggs on pizza dough?

  7. We made it to about eeeeek 60° yuck yuck yuck today. I would much rather have taken a walk in the snowstorm while you dissolved in fits of laughter with Laurel and Hardy. Much rather snow than 60 rainy degrees mid-January.

    And ummm...yes, pizza for breakfast? Really? I'll just grab myself a cinnamon roll then, ok? ;-)

  8. Breaking fast with pizza? Ya, tomato paste,cheese bacon, chunks eggs. Basically anything that is on an omelet is fair game. DELICIOUS!

  9. Discretion is the better part of valor, Bird. And you need to have a heart to heart talk with your dietician about breakfast choices.

  10. I've never seen a Laurel and Hardy or had 15 inches, you are living the high life!

  12. Breakfast pizza? It sounds wrong on all sorts of levels.

  13. Breakfast pizza: just custardy eggs instead of tomato sauce with topping choices (cheese, bacon, sausage, onions, peppers, mushrooms are typical)on pizza dough. Think quiche with dough instead of crust. A staple of early morning rural working Maine for many years. There exist healthy versions and nonhealthy versions just like with regular pizza.
