If you can't cook, shop

If you can't cook, shop.
It make be tough in a small town, but ground hog (aka pork) dumplings can be found at the Chinese take-out. Even mediocre bread tastes good with roasted red pepper spread*. Blueberry salsa* spices up ordinary triskets. Brownies from a mix are great fresh from the oven.

If you can't put an umbrella in it, flame it.

If scary ice-falling-from-the-sky-weather diminishes the guest list from 24 to 9, count the baby and the groundhog**.

*These were not purchased in my town, but rather used to enliven foods that were.
**Which makes it twelve, with the cat. Not bad for a party during the "storm of the century".

Wait a minute, that looks like a real groundhog. I don't want my grandson hanging around wild animals. One never knows where those dirty, nasty animals have been. They might also bite William! OK, he looks healthy and happy so you must be doing something right--even if you are putting him in dangerous situations

Looks like he and Mr. Groundhog are quite the party animals, heh heh. I'm glad the snow didn't stop you from enjoying your Groundhog Day party!

Is he a doll or what? (Not the groundhog!)
