I'm going to stock up on butter, olive oil, lemons, chocolate, sugar, and flour before #snowmaggedon2016 touches down, because if I'm going to be stuck inside for a while, I want to be fat and warm while I'm there. My co-workers, on the other hand, have a little more sense. When I asked them what they'd be stocking up on in prep for a weekend of being shut in, they gave me these (mostly) practical answers.
"I'm going to stock up on canned beans and chicken broth to make chili.Turkey chili, of course. I wouldneverput beans in my beef chili."
"The dishes most people reach for on cold nights are the big meat braises. But I'm not feeling that right now—I'm cooking much more vegetarian. So I'm going to stock up on eggs and makea big frittata．"
"ForFrench onion soup．Also, you gotta have lots ofbutterandchocolate．How else are you going to make chocolate chip cookies?" [Ed. note: AGREE.]
"I think I'm gonna faux-tiss this weekend [Ed. note: Yes, Matt just abbreviatedfaux-tisserie chicken．] And we'll put a bunch of root vegetables on the bottom, which all that chicken fat will make crispy and delicious. Also, I'm praying—praying!— my fiancé bakes something."
"We're having people over for dinner, theoretically, and I'm going to make a few recipes from theKoreatown cookbook．There's a beef stew with rice cakes that sounds really good. And I'm thinking a creamed kale-kimchi number to make on the side."
"Forchicken bone broth．我不知道我要什么dowith that bone broth. Probably just sip it while wearing a robe. Or make matzo ball soup." [Ed. note: You can do both, Eric!]
"I'm going to make this one-potchickpea, swiss chard, and egg thing．It's hearty, healthy, and you can totes use canned chickpeas for it."
"And I'll sort it out later."
