Yes - my husband has to go to NC for 2 days :-( it was not planned that way, but he looks so relieved!! The out-laws, I mean in-laws are going back on Sunday, as their condo's power is restored. They don't seem to comprehend that buying gasoline entails an 8 1/2 hour wait at the moment and the only stations that are operating, on the Florida Turnpike, are dispensing only $20 worth of gas to each customer. The pull of home and familiar things is too strong, and this disruption of their daily routines has been really difficult for them to manage.
And as for the cooking - it is such a luxury to have such a fully stocked pantry! I feel like Marth Stewart Junior, able to pull what I need from the fridge to "whip up" the next meal. Imagine not having to run to the store for that single ingredient you're missing!
Everyone is pretty content to have me do the cooking (as am I). Last night I asked my husband to make a salad to accompany dinner and it took 4 people and 45 minutes to do it! Great photos, though; and it was delicious...CS
