1. My family member said that LAST night in Seattle...

...the only stuff left at the QFC (Kroger) was turnips, play do, and potted plants. Worse there!

Like eating cardboard.

22. It has been very popular for some time, as

I'm sure you know. It used to be stuff like arugula, goat cheese, and during the 90s cilantro. Coconut oil has been popular of late, too.

But I'm with you--KALE?

6. TOFU will become extinct north of California!! Oh, noes!!!

They'll be eating twine!

7. Better than kale! n/t

[quakerboy]

9. Not twine, exactly

But I do wonder if the apparent several year supply overstock of legal marijuana that it was recently reported Oregon had was subject to a similar depletion?

8. Why?

14. Big snow storm n/t

10. I like kale...

You'll wake up Saturday morning, without kale. And it will fucking serve you RIGHT.

17. +10. LOL. Someone forgot to teach them Oreganders how to hoard away....

a survivalist stash of Kale.....

13. This is one of my favorite Portlandia episodes:

(I checked the online menu of the restaurant and the soup comes with a side of kale, three out of four salads contain kale, all of the bowls have kale and so does the only pasta dish.)

15. At the downtown Seattle Target, the onions were the sold out item. Only a couple of pieces of onion

skin left scattered across empty bins. Most of the garlic was gone, too.

16. Hoards of rabbits trample humans at stores as storm moves in!

Kale attacked for now but residents fear carrots are next.......

20. The social media pictures of the run on food for this storm have been epic

It’s not quite 4 am and there are nearly 3” of snow at NWS Portland’s office and still falling so this event may actually have epic amounts of snow. (Less accumulation so far at my place in the hills but big fluffy flakes are falling fast!) Last night when I finally went to sleep it looked like this storm would be a huge bust.

The stores just got cleaned out. There were pictures of the Trader Joe’s that I shop at and the entire bread section was just...gone. Ditto the dairy case except for some cottage cheese and yogurt. The produce section was pretty bare. People definitely waited until the last minute then simply grabbed whatever was left.
