Wowsa! This is a big hurricane. Hope everyone on the gulf coast evac'd
early; I would not want to be driving north with that traffic. The news
media is telling folks in Louisiana and Mississippi to head towards Memphis.
I'm sure the hotel and motel people will be glad of that. It's pouring down
rain here (early fallout, I'm sure) and the temperature didn't get above 80F
today. So much for grilling squash. BUT! I can use my oven to make squash
casserole!

Talk of lobster, crab, etc., set off a major craving. Unfortunately, I
don't have any lobster and I'm saving the frozen Alaskan snow crab
legs/claws for another day. So I'll be making salmon patties for dinner to
go with the squash. Yum and yum again!

Maybe it'll whip some crawfish up here to Lake Erie!

Do you make a sauce for your salmon patties? I often make a white sauce with
dillweed and chopped, seeded, cucumber.

Highly doubtful! :-) You better stick with that great Lake Perch and
Pickerel.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't Bolivar gave me a great recipe for his
salmon croquettes which has a white sauce in it as a binder and again as a
sauce on top. He bakes his in a cast iron pan with fish shapes similar to a
cornstick pan (that's got to make them more fun!) Not sure I'm going to
bother with sauce tonight, though. I never really know until I start to
cook!

Yep, you need a thick white sauce for croquettes. Love 'em. If I have
leftover salmon patties, I use them for sandwiches.

For coquettes? Don't you mean for trollops?

Perhaps if we weren't having our little misadventure in the Middle East
and using National Guard troops to do the job we could airlift people
north. But no.

And President Bush and his cronies quietly killed a major storm rebuild
fund.

And from what I've been reading - this could also impact gasoline
prices. Lots of refineries in that area.

airlift people north ??? Are you kidding ? They can go north under
their own steam, there has been plenty of warning.

Gasoline prices will no doubt be impacted, this is only one of many
thing driving the price of oil.

I do hope all have gone to higher ground .

Exactly. I've no idea why some people have to turn the weather into a
political statement. It's not like people living on the east coast and the
gulf area aren't used to hurricanes. And it's not like there were no
hurricanes before the current administration.

Airlift people? Why? I live about 1500 miles north of there and I knew that it was
headed there two days ago. That was more than enough time for people to head for
safety.

prices. Lots of refineries in that area.

Yep. That will be the next excuse to gouge consumers. I sure am glad that I
bought a Honda last month. Despite a 20% increase in the cost of gasoline, my
weekly gas bill is less than half what it was with my old van.

As I previously stated, some folks will use any excuse to jump on the
political band-wagon. It's not like hurricanes didn't exist before the
current administration. I seriously doubt Tony P. remembers the "oil
crisis" from the 1970's. We weathered that storm; we'll weather this one.

Officials say there are tens of thousands who have no way of evacuating the
area.

No way? What, they don't know anyone with a car? Or does this mean they
are being stubborn, as in the wake of the 1980's Mt. St. Helens eruption, "I
won't leave, they can't make me".

Still no reason to start bashing politicos; want to bash someone, bash your
version of "god" for the hurricane. Politics have nothing to do with it.

This afternoon Shepard Smith from Fox TV was trying to do an interview
in a bar on Bourbon St. He asked one guy why he hadn't left yet and
his response was "None of your ****ing business". Right on live TV.
I'd say there's some attitude there, definitely.

I completely agree.
