ramen-less in texas

So Austin is bracing itself for what appears to be the next big apocalypse--by this, I mean, there is neither bread nor water nor Ramen left at the grocery stores.

No, I'm being *literal* here. Not a loaf of bread, a container of water, or a package of Ramen Noodles, even the icky faux-creamy shrimp ones.

My family, not one to be left out of this charming semi-suburban/urban panic, stocked up on such necessities as Dr. Pepper, cheese, crackers, sausage, the ingredients for cheese dip, and a lot of English muffins. Mostly, I'm just trying to figure out what emergency will entail needing *English muffins*. Also, how we will make cheese dip should it turn out that we do lose electricity.

I'm guessing that we'll all get out our lighters and *melt* the cheese that way.

*rubs forehead*

OMG! When there's a big storm scheduled here, it's the bread, cereal, milk, and chicken soup that go. I mean, not the beef noodle, or cream of broccoli, or any other kind, CHICKEN. I'd think cans of stew would be better. Or, you know, variety?

English muffins? LOL that is so something out of a Douglas Adams novel.
"Shouldn't we put a paper bag over our heads or something?"
"You can if you like."
"Will it help?"
"No."
Bagels have more calories anyway. And fiber, if you get the whole wheat kind.
