This one will take years, maybe decades to get back to a semblence of
what it was. We were in NOLA in 2012, 7 years after Kartina hit and
there was still a lot of work to be done. Western NC/TN/north GA really got hit hard; Steve donated a number of power tools toward the clean up and rebuild effort.
My local municipally owned utility sent two crews of volunteers to a
town in Georgia. The local news rag had a nice story about it. And the spokseman said they may be called back to the area after Milton.
Probably so; it came ashore as a Cat 3, nothing to be messed with.
Steve's sister and BIL live in Zephyrhills, in a manufactured home.
Didn't evacutate this time, and appears they got off with little to no damage.
"It's pretty devastating," Huff said. "You're there to help serve
the public get the lights on, but then at the same time, you've
got this gut-wrenching feeling for all of these customers that lost
their house, their roof, their everything."
I'm reading stories like that every day in the Raleigh paper.
I wonder how many people realise that the Thousand Islands archipelago
is actually a place. And straddles the border between Canada and USA.
I discovered it when returning from covering a motor race in Quebec
for Hoosier racing tire. Up to that point I had 'assumed' that the

Good thinking. Although I usually stock penne. My local Hy-Vee does whole-wheat pasta - and for the most part that's what I buy. They also have "pan length" noodles for the long pastas - which saves breaking
it by hand and getting "shards". Very handy.
We've done nothing but whole wheat pasta since the late 70s. Had to do some creative searching pre internet/pre popularity to find it, but we did. I don't break my longer pasta's for the pan either, just gently
ease them into the hot water and as the lower ends absorb water, I can
get the upper parts in and submerged.

A good fresh apple cider would add a nice flavor to it. We picked up
some all natural, from honeycrisp apples, cider the other day at
Wegman's.
I've a local place called the Apple Barn just south of town. They
press their own cider and sell it at reasonable prices. One of my favourite things to do with cider ......
Both of us had that growing up but all the apple orchards are in
western NC, and probably have most all of the fruits blown off of them this year.
I have never added the optional rum noted in the directions, as I
am sure you wouldn't. But I do like this and it's a hit whenever

I dunno how they insulate "mobile" homes in that area. Mine, here in
the Great American Outback had thick batts of fibreglass insulation
under
the floors. If the water got as high as that - game's over.

My MIL treated us (3 kids, 3 spouses) to dinner last night at an
Italian place, only one person didn't leave with a "leftovers" box. I
had veal and eggplant parm with a side of penne pasta & marinara sauce. The size of the piece of veal was almost the whole dinner plate, with 2 roughly 6" rounds of eggplant on top of it. Penne pasta was good, maybe about a cup and a half (cooked) with a good amount of marinara. Starter was a salad so I only ate about 1/3 of my entree. Steve had Italian jambalya over liguini and a salad; I think he took about half of his entree home.

Free range during the warm parts of the year, corn fed in the colder parts. (G) More likely was supposed to be "free range OR corn fed".
My personal opinion is that free range means just that. They'd have
been better off using "cage free". When I kept chickens the girls were cage
free and had a trough for "chicken feed" as well as scratching in the
pen for bugs and seeds, etc. And the fence was more to keep the
predators out than to keep the chooks in.
