Just because an ice storm has started here, I've remained steadfast in my refusal to make French toast. As much I like the taste of French toast, I see no reason to buy mass quantities of bread and eggs, as people often do before a storm. I've also resisted the urge to buy another snow shovel, as people sometimes do reflexively before a storm. I guess I'm eccentric in keeping a snow shovel that has served me perfectly well for years. To each, his or her own, I suppose.
