Mom can you make ropa vieja and matzo ball soup and albondigas and split pea soup and macaroni and cheese and salmon and poached pears and swirly pasta even though it's expensive?
Author's note: said daughter was out of power for a week. Her long wish list narrowed down to one item: a bath. Her school and dorm buildings now have power and she's back in class, as of today. Hard to fathom how many remain without a home to return to.
Oh gosh, Des, I hadn't thought of your daughter. You must have been worried. I'm glad she's okay. Cold food and a lack of a shower aren't so bad in the grand scheme of things.
ReplyDeletePoor thing. Glad she's safe, and smells good too
ReplyDeleteWas she in her dorm the whole time?
ReplyDeleteM & P: Her dorm had no heat, lights or running water. She roomed with buddies who at least had candles, and gas to cook by. They had to walk to mid-town to buy groceries and she was dismayed that people were shopping in GAP as if nothing had happened. PA: Me too!
ReplyDeleteIf she's home for the holidays, something tells me she's going to get ropa vieja and all the rest.
ReplyDeleteYup, including the fusilli, which IS expensive.
ReplyDeleteI think it's important that everybody know I suffered greatly and flooding destroyed my collection of Old Master paintings *and* my fur coats.
