Why You Should Always Have Diet Coke In the House

Glorious Diet Coke


The Blizzard of 2007 hit Central Illinois this Tuesday and Wednesday, resulting in 2 snow days for me! It's reminding me of being in grade school again, snowmobiling on the farm. Only this time I find myself secretly hoping for work to be cancelled for a few more days so I can keep sitting at home surfing the web. Of course today, I came across a big dilemma, and the reason for my post. No Diet Coke in the house. I drank the last one yesterday and didn't really give it much thought. I figured I'd be heading in to work today, so I could stop and buy more. As you can see from the snow drift in our driveway, I wasn't going anywhere. Later this afternoon I hear a lot of commotion out front, it's the neighbor in his John Deere, plowing us out. My first thought is to run outside screaming, "wait, I want to be snowed in!". My second thought is, "dig faster, I need my Diet Coke!!".

Of course we got dug out and made it safely to town. Now there's not 1, but 2 cases of Diet Coke sitting in the pantry, just in case we have another snow day.

If you were snowed in, what couldn't you live without?

I can't live without something sweet. Cake, brownies, or even a sweet cereal. Something!!!

I blame it on my German heritage. Dessert after every meal, per my Grandpa Wurl!

When I saw your blog title, I expected some cooking explaination why Diet Coke is a staple in every kitchen. :-)
