Yes, faithful readers, I survived Hurricane Irene.
She was, almost disappointingly, pretty much a non-event here in Baltimore. Almost being the key word there. Not so lucky on other parts of the East Coast -- I wish everyone good luck cleaning up and getting power back. Especially the folks in Vermont.
I stayed overnight at my friend Pascal's house along with boyfriend Greg and two other friends -- and we had a lot of fun. We made hurricanes and jambalaya. Yum achieved! We were having so much fun that we barely noticed a hurricane was happening and headed out to Ale Mary's for some middle-of-the-night tater tots and a drink. And to see if Fell's Point was underwater. It wasn't -- but we sure got soaked like we'd been swimming on the walk there!
Anyway, I checked on Misty Sunday morning after some corned beef hash at Jimmy's and the weather was beautiful. Would have been sailing weather if the wind hadn't been blowing so hard! ;) Misty was completely unscathed and I almost felt silly for worrying. But you know what they say -- better safe than sorry.
Hope you all had as fun and uneventful a hurricane as I did!

love jambalaya!! Haven't had any since I was in Atlanta for a memorial service for some missing friends. Before that, I used to make it in SC all the time. Where do you recommend buying shrimp?
ReplyDeleteHey, I just saw this! I didn't buy the shrimp for this, but I get mine at the Cross Street Market or Whole Foods, usually. Frozen cooked shrimp cook up really well, so that's what I normally do. :)
