PLAN AHEAD
There are times, unfortunately, when the Senior Center is unable to distribute meals to our seniors. It isn’t often, and it is disheartening when it happens. During our snow days, decision time comes into play. We ask ourselves: Can our employees make it to work—safely? Are the roads opened and are they free of ice? Keep in mind that not all of our employees live in Middletown or in Hidden Valley.
We all talk about the changes in the weather patterns. What we need to do is plan ahead for the “dangerous” weather changes or disasters-- snow, floods, fires.
Each time you shop, it is a good idea to pick up something extra that you are able to keep on your shelf for a lengthy period of time. That way in case of an emergency, you have food in the house which can be used whether the power is on or off. Here are some ideas for an emergency bag: Tuna and chicken kits; granola bars; peanut butter; crackers; fruit cups; V-8; shelf stable milk; water. Also, keep a couple of cans of soup, perhaps beans, and other canned choices if power remains on but you wish to keep the refrigerator/freezer closed in case power eventually goes out.

Directions
1. Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat.
