snowpocalypse 2011

Well, friends. As much as I’d like to have a fun nutrition-related post for you, I’m currently in Chicago waiting out a super nasty winter storm…that will hopefully not mimic this image from the blizzard of 1967.

At least some enjoyed the snow of the 1967 blizzard. Twenty-three inches of snow, the largest single snowfall in Chicago history, covered the city and suburbs. Children frolic among buried cars in the Edgewater neighborhood, on Chicago's North Side. (Tribune archive photo) ..OUTSIDE TRIBUNE CO.- NO MAGS,  NO SALES, NO INTERNET, NO TV, CHICAGO OUT..

This was prettymuch a last minute, unplanned trip, but I managed to grab a few breakfast essentials before leaving.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. This probably would have worked better with instant oats…oh well, just trying to be resourceful.

Free oatmeal vs. $7 oatmeal (hotel food prices are seriously astronomical).

Oh, I may have eaten some of this, too…before we got buried in snow. I definitely prefer homemade pizza, but Chicago-style pizza holds a special place in my heart.

It seems like half the country is closing down…who has a snow day today?!
