I Am Not Here Today

100 percent chance of snow all day and something called freezing fog is what we are getting today in the Twin Cities. I should be Christmas shopping today. I could walk to Macy's, but instead I will cook because This Urban Wife can't afford to eat out every night of the week. This morning I thumbed through a cookbook circa San Francisco 1972 called Eat It by Dana Crumb and Sherry Cohen and illustrated by underground comic book artist Rob Crumb (remember Fritz the Cat and Mr Natural?). I will make my own version of their meatloaf draped in pie crust using a hand-me-down cast iron skillet and heat up this condo like a sunny day in Florida. The radio just announced that bus service has shut down and the airport is now closed so I guess there is little hope of actually getting to Florida today. Evening events are canceling too. The Minnesota Roller Girls bout tonight at the Roy Wilkins has just canceled. I bet Rob Crumb would have enjoyed seeing the Dagger Dolls vs the Atomic Bombshells, but he lives in the south of France now and well the airport is closed anyway.
