Anyone else snowed in and sick of eating out of the freezer already?

I know it's only been since Thursday and in the olden days they managed for weeks. I know I can 'manage' much longer but I'm absolutely fed up of it. When I get out the first thing I'm going to buy is some really fresh crispy salad and have it with a big juicy steak!! I'm bloated with carbs and fat as a shield against the cold, living off stews/ bakes etc which are very nice but not what I want. Craving chocolate. I normally go for a couple of weeks between shopping trips, so god knows why I'm feeling so pathetic now!

The other thing that enforced solitude makes me miss is human contact. Working from home, communicating via email and phone only seems to emphasise it. I think I'll try to skid into the village just for a bit of human contact tomorrow. Strange, I've lived alone and in the middle of nowhere by choice for nearly 20 years, but when I don't have the choice, I crave company!!!

What would you go for after being snowed in for a while. Chocolate, salad or people?

we have been very fortunate and not had any disruption at all, thankfully!! However if it came to being snowed in I would miss crisps, im a hopeless addict

Salad and green foods for me too!

I get my shopping delivered now (I save a fortune as I plan meals for the week and don't get tempted by buying rubbish) and MrT have been able to get through despite the weather. I am able to change the order up until 11.46pm (weird time!) the night before so I haven't missed anything.

If I were properly snowed in with no delivery, we would eat well for a week, weirdly for another week or two and then a very miserable diet until it was over! Salad would be impossible this time of year.

Tinned lettuce and cucumber in brine anyone?

milk and bread are the first things we run out of = starving children! (In their opinion anyway) Then cat food.

I'd probably buy those first. I can't abide 'people' .. friends and family are great but randommers you can keep. I don't eat salad ever, it makes me quite unwell so I might buy chocolate though more likely to get crisps or haribo/wine gums/fruit pastilles.

When we heard snow was coming, I bought lots of carrots, celery, apples and a huge white tight headed cabbage so that I could make plenty of crisp crunchy coleslaw to accompany the pasta and other carbs. People tend to stock up on milk, bread and other carbs but I find a couple days of eating too much of this stuff and I can feel really bloated. And then you can't easily get outside to walk it off.

People.

I have just come back from a week away with work, not snow bound (I went to Sri Lanka) but largely hotel bound. I had phone, Skype, and internet but I missed my people. Funnily enough i did miss chocolate too but I'd have chosen the people first.

chocolate, every time.

I like salad but it's not worth the bother of preparing it, and I avoid people at all costs at the best of times!!

We've been snowed in and I am LOVING it! Kids home, hunny home, everybody where they are safe and all together

Am not snowed in but I fell down the stairs a week ago and have torn the ligaments in my ankle so am hobbling about, and I have a nearly 4 week old baby, a 15 month old and a 4 year old, just getting in to the car is a hassel, so I sent my oh to the shops to get something in for tea.

He came back with tea cakes, hob nobs, pop, bread, milk, 1 steak and some babywipes

Mmmm milk sandwiches anyone?

It depends what one has in their freezer, i suppose, but i am almost desperate for fresh fruit and vegetables.

I've run out of onions and carrots and we are down to our last 4 potatoes. We still have a cucumber and some lettuce, but no tomatoes or peppers or celery to go with them in a salad.

We do have frozen broccolli and cauliflower and peas and realistivally we have cupboards full of food in addition to this so we are far from lacking. I just so want to eat some lovely fruit salad (not the prepackaged sort) or a lovely homemade coleslaw.

I think i shall have to try to venture out tomorrow, or possibly wait till wednesday when i have an appointment to attend at hospital.
