We had our first little taste of winter weather here last week with a small amount of snowfall that accumulated enough that I had to break out the windshield scraper when I went out for lunch.
Winter storms mean only one thing in New England: time to raid the supermarket and hoard all the milk, eggs and bread you can possibly pack into your cart. It’s a well-observed phenomenon that whenever it snows in New England, people are struck with the overwhelming urge to make loaf after loaf of French Toast. Maybe it’s all that propylene glycol in the bread and people feel like they need a little extra anti-freeze in their belly just in case.
So, in my continual effort to make my blog as useful to one and all as possible, I am instituting a BKO Storm Alert for the winter season, rating the severity of the “weather event” on a scale of 1-5 pieces of French Toast:
 |
|
|
|
|
5 Pieces = Most Severe. You might want to stock up on some extra maple syrup, too |
|
|
|
|
4 Pieces = Severe. Do you have enough powered sugar? | |
|
|
|
3 Pieces = Heavy. Buy a pound of bacon, while you’re at it | ||
|
|
2 Pieces = Average. Invite the neighbors over for hot chocolate | |||
|
1 Piece = Light. Maybe you can go to IHOP for pancakes instead. |
