Four New Eating Habits Forced Upon Us by Sandy

As Hurricane Sandy nears landfall, trapping us and the employees of our favorite takeout places inside our apartments, an unfamiliar and collective domestic mania is starting to set in. Judging from the Twitter and Instagram one-upsmanship, everyone we know is either shopping or cooking or baking. Who waited in the longest line outside a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods yesterday?
