cloudy with a chance of meatballs Stuck inside today due to Hurricane Sandy but had the foresight to brave the crowds at Tops, my local supermarket, yesterday. Even at 1pm, the checkout line snaked around the store as customers waited 20+ minutes to pay for bottled water, eggs, bread, and, in many cases, beer and pie (on sale!). Chris got some sliced prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella cheese, and olives, while making fun of me for stocking up on water. I wonder how long 24 bottles of Dasani would last in a real emergency. When we got home, Chris spent the afternoon making meatballs and pork wontons. Turns out, as long as you have wonton skins, the pork filling is actually quite easy to make. And if you make a lot and freeze them, you’ll have yummy storm provisions to last until the hurricane passes.  That is, if you have enough water to boil them in (and a gas stove that’ll work if there’s an electricity outage). Just saying.
