What's cookin' for the storm

Being trapped inside for the storm isn't ideal, but It means I can try out some new recipes.

Anything anyone is planning to make?

Where are you located? I'm on long island and the forecast here really isn't SO bad compared to other places4-14 inches. large variables but still-nothing crazy really. i'm not going to try anything new really. i'm going to make a huge pot of marinara sauce and freeze most of it, sauerkraut soup, breakfast burritos. then on sunday i'll make slow cooker chili. when i have a chance to be in all day i make stuff to stock my freezer.

No storm here in Ohio...thank goodness because I really need to go to the store and get some food. I am glad I won't have to deal with crazy people.  For some reason people in Ohio really freak out about weather.

im north of long island (in that 10-14 inch range) and i hadnt thought of anything to make! I will be working from home tomorrow if the snow starts early so really wont have alot of time to cook anything fun.

I'm in northern RI and this am it said 24-36 inches starting this afternoon. I'm at work now but plan to go home and start cooking up a storm.

WE live in an apartment complex with a community room w a pool table, table tennis and a big screen TV so we all meet down there during storms and make a dish to share, so lucky, I won't get too stir crazy!

Ps good idea on making a big gravy and freezing it (sorry, sauce lol)...I'm going to do that because I wanted to make some with some plum tomatoes i picked up on sale this week and roast them and add it in.

WE just opened our food processor we got for our wedding last august, so i am planning on making some pesto to freeze as well.

I LOVE fresh kiebasa. When I was in Warsaw I went to a neighborhood deli/meat market. I was so diappointed that they only had smoked. Where we were staying we had a kitchen and I so looked forward to having real polish fresh kielbasa.

We had a basket of fresh warm rolls left outside our door everyday ,so I made kielbasa sandwiches. We took them on the train to Crakow.

 The only thing, the kielbasa tasted like Hilshire Farms!!! lol I still wonder if it was.
