#&*@#^@ Hurricane...

Posted by therealchiffonade, August 18, 2008 at 5:23 PM

We are expecting a hurricane (Fay = Beeotch) in the Tampa Bay area by Tuesday, 8.19. I have about 6 cases of bottled water, 4 large bags of ice and some shelf stable food like (gag) canned chicken and turkey breast and tuna. I got some crackers and I have cereal in the house. Also got some shelf stable Parmalat milk.

I was living here in 2004 when we had 4 named hurricanes come through. This is the first time since then we've had a real threat.

QUESTION: Although it may not happen at this time of year, what culinary precautions do you take when bad weather is imminent? Approaching blizzard?? Hurricane? Even if a really bad heat wave is expected and power might go out. What are your on hand musts?? Do you wait for the last minute or buy things way before you need them?

I could have escaped this storm by accompanying BF on a biz trip to Atlanta - but I have JURY DUTY tomorrow... DOH!!

PS Thanks for the new-post-preview!!!
