I think I was too complacent about Wednesday's storm forecast. Unfortunately multiple factors combined to create a massive headache as people struggled to make it home from work. Fortunately we had taken metro to work so we were not stuck in traffic for hours. The only hiccup was the shuttle had stopped running, so we were forced to walk through the slushy snow. Would have been much better in proper snow boots, but I was woefully unprepared.
We made it home safely together. After a hot chocolate and a hot bath, it was time to decide what to eat. I like having a package of frozen seafood, frozen shrimp or frozen fish from Trader Joe's in the freezer for times like this. Some onion, mushroom, celery and carrot along with the seafood mix helped make a robust pasta fra diavolo.
Picked up a bottle of single malt scotch this week in recognition of Burn's Day. The owner of the liquor store on 32nd and M Street recommended Tomintoul as an alternative to Macallan 10. Very smooth and perfect for sipping while watching a little HGTV and relaxing during the storm.
