As the Metro D.C. prepares (freaks out as if anticipating the Apocalypse) for 18″ of snow this weekend I post this great example of ingenuity and adaptation.
One of the things that I really love about unforeseen occurrences that force us to change our routines, is how it forces us, to examine our routine and to adapt to something new. For instance, last night I went to the grocery store to hopefully get some food, just to make sure I had enough. I felt triumphant as I grabbed one of the last half gallon bottles of organic milk, only realize that when I got home that half gallon, was indeed Buttermilk. So what do we do? Make pancakes and biscuits.
I also wonder, what is it about a potential shut in for 3 days, that make people think they HAVE to go buy milk and bread. I mean seriously, is it really that important? You can replace, milk in just about anything with a few common items. Do we as Americans really drink that much?
Very odd to me. I wonder if the dairy farmers of the area are thinking… Hmmmm I wish I had 5 more cows today to maximize those profits.
