  • I am missing the show as well due to storm coverage. I am going to watch it online. I have done it before if I couldn't see the show. Usually on Xfinity the next day or NBC.com in a day or two.

  • I take protein powder mixed with water, it is a little odd but not too bad. Not sure if ice would make it much better.
