Today, all was clam.
Clear skies, no wind, calm and peaceful. The clam before the chowder, so they say.
And speaking of clam chowder we have been advised to stock up on food and water in case society degenerates into Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in the next five days.
So, to address that little issue I put together a plan. I call it “Plan B” because my experience tells me that “Plan A” never works and that we always have to invoke “Plan B.” Why not start off with the correct plan in the first place. I always say that.
In honor of Hurricane Ike I’ve decided to rename Chez Guillaume. Until the “crisis” is over we will be known as Ike’s Café and here is the menu based on our current supplies.

You think you'll have icecubes with your pool water and cat chow?
Is your freezer off the grid powered?
;-)
We just bought tickets for Sunday night's dinner! Mmmmmmm
Loved this, Bill.
is there a plan 'C'?
You forgot to fill your propane tank for the grill didn't you!
a good cat chow hits just the right spot sometimes!
You missed the Vienna Sausage and Chunky Soup. Just prior to the cat food, I would think . . .
We have lived in Florida for over 8 years and have seen probably 9 hurricanes. My hurricane supplies consist of candles, batteries, water and battery operated games. Food is the easiest to come by, but boredom will kill you. We also have a converter we can plug into the car and run most things that plug in, so if we have to we can nuke stuff. Ice is not really needed as it will be supplied by the truckful if you are hit too badly. Sadly, if you lose power and need to cool off, Walmart is usually up and running as soon as the hospitals.
