I was let off from work about noon yesterday and sped home to take my hoomin for a car ride (yes!) to the park. Afterwards, I went to the grocery store because I felt the sudden urge to make some hot chocolate or wassail, bake some cookies, and I also had a strange urge to buy some eggs (why??). Was I alone in those thoughts? Certainly not! Apparently, snow in Houston is sufficiently rare (four events in the past 22 years that I remember of which this was by far the longest and most dramatic), to cause other people to have similar urges. By 2 pm, the hot chocolate mixes were all gone (except for the fat free variety - yuck!), the apple cider was gone, and I picked up one of the last few cartons of eggs. But there were plenty packages of Nestle Tollhouse cookie dough - yay!!
