Yes, yes, I know. We clutch our pearls and manically buy bread and milk at the first mention of icy precipitation; it’s a southern thing. We also don’t shovel our walkways or own snow blowers or have any idea how to cross-country ski. We just ain’t snow bunnies. Period. Primarily because when it does actually snow, mother nature rushes in to get rid of it without requiring a minute of back-breaking assistance from us and oh-so long before any fervent call to stoically exercise lures us away from the sofa.

So, with the prognosticating cognoscenti wanting to measure this weekend’s snowfall in feet rather than inches, I know that some of my fellow southerners are preparing to hunker down as if the world were coming to an end. Thusly, I would not want to be an Amazon delivery driver on Friday. Oh no. The mind boggles at what amount of doom spending will overtake innocent souls as they stare into the maw of the coming snowpocalypse. “Honey, did we really need to order an avalanche beacon?”

But still. Better safe than sorry isn’t a terrible mantra – even tinged with a little snow-phobia. Especially when being safe means having delicious food in the house. Because it’s still delicious, snow or no snow. Right? And if the storm does bombard us as predicted, well, let’s just say your neighbors will be jealous.

The Acme Snowpocalypse Takeout Extravaganza – comfort food to help you weather the storm. Scallop, leek, and bacon chowder. Old-school meatloaf. Acme macaroni and cheese. Jambalaya. Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. Collard greens. Hot Chocolate Cake. Plenty of deliciousness to feed two hungry souls for quite some time. Pickup will be on Friday, the 23rd, between 2pm and 4pm. The price is $75. There will also be biscuits, cornbread, and other things that can be added to the order. FYI: snow doesn’t require suffering. Just a little planning. And that milk and bread you just bought is not a plan.

Well, that’s all the news from Carrboro. The Staff at Acme look forward to serving you soon.

Cheers,
The Staff at Acme
