Here in the Northeast we may get a really ugly storm. I am

wondering what LC things would be good to have on hand in case of

because the power is out, but I am having a hard time coming up

with things to eat--and what to put in my coffee. (Previously, I

could use the little packs of milk--even chocolate milk. I gazed

at the little packs of nondairy milks at WF but the few they had

did not seem to be LC.)



I am having a hard time coming up with things. All I have thought

of is some cheeses. (Laughing Cow, which I normally don't

particularly like, has an odd label that says "refrigerate after

purchase"! Can string cheese stay out for a while?) I see some

hard sausages but try not to eat much of that sort of thing.

There are nuts and canned fish--not that I want to live on either

for many meals.



I guess I should get ice (if there is any left), and then I could

keep "milk" and a few other things in a cooler. I am sure I am

just blanking on numerous good choices, and would greatly

appreciate any suggestions that can be made in the next day or

two, so I can stock up.



Thanks!

I've seen some bag-like packages of sardines and some bag-like packages of salmon. Some people can tear them open, but I prefer a pair of scissors.

If you want a low-carb Halloween treat, I usually use dark chocolate.
