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!

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

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.

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.
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.

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.

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 .
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.
There are many people in the cities that do not own a car, know people that own a car that would have enough room to take them all. Many are the poor, but there are many well to do people in large cities that rely on public transportation.

And New Orleans has a significant homeless population. Chances are that no, they don't have a car, and they may not know anyone who does. Maybe they'd like to evacuate, but they have have limited resources to do so.
We have people we know in the area, and hope they are safe, regardless of whether or not they decide to leave or stay.

Being six feet below sea level doesn't bode well for the 'big easy'. If they (the authorities) have their collective 'scat' together they should be opening the flood gates on the dikes now. I wish them luck!

NOLA has pumps that move water into Lake Pontchartrain during periods of heavy rain. If the lake empties into the city, the pumps will be underwater, and it's estimated that it will take about six months to drain the city...
