Amidst all the preparations--and howling sounds--we can sure that our relaxed Estorbo will shed a little bit of his usual equanimity.. Especially if he is dealt a hot hand. <br /><br />The river has now swallowed my 40' dock 5' above a Virginia river on the Bay, and the lights now flicker ominously. But I have had power long enough to see the Giants beat the inept Cowboys. Now nursing a soft red Nobilo straight from Montepulciano. All is well.<br /><br />Good luck to all.. At moments like these, we are a united people.

My apartment now looks like a garden shop run by an incompetent. At least I have access to unlimited basil, lavender, rosemary and fennel (ok a little limited..) I am jealous of your menu. With hubby gone, cooking isn't as much fun. I'm remembering the roast chicken we made while Irene rained on. Making a simple risotto and a little wine tonight and sending a toast across the sea.

(Mine was also a few days ago.) Cousin said, "her slow movement would trick you into believing she is always gentle, but she can be very volatile and if you don't respect how meticulous she is with her craft than you can really pay the price."

Terrace furniture brought into the house. Plants strategically placed to minimize flight. I struggled through the madness that was the Key Food on Atlantic and have done all the prep I would have for a blizzard or earthquake (if one could prep for that). I thought I was the only one filling bathtubs. (Do you do that out here??) Now busy making cupcakes and lasagna. I think you can tell a lot about the people who, in times of pending crisis, see it as an opportunity make a bunch of favorite recipes.<br />Stay safe and dry.

Sheets of plywood are being put up against windows and all the evacuations. It sounds as if you are well prepared, these storms are so so destructive, and there isn't a darn thing you can do about it except sit tight and hope for the best.
