It wasn't his fault, just ask him.

Morgan City and Grand Isle aren't near as news worthy as NO. Most Americans know where NO is, not near as many know about Morgan City and Grand Isle.

Didn't see anything out of Grand Isle, but what I saw of Morgan City on the news looks like they've had 100% evacuation of all non-emergency personnel. Saw pictures of the best boarding up I've ever seen, to- used 2x4s wedged again parking lot bumper curbs to enhance the mounting of the plywood. They're doing it right, so there is no news there.

NOLA on the other hand is a fiasco, always will be. I could toss in my pet theories which have been developed after dealing with customers in that area, but I'd get in trouble if I did.

And if you can't make soup, you're trying to fail.

Easy soup recipe for two people:

2 packets of chicken ramen
1 small can of chicken
2 cans of vegitables, or 4 small cans, or a double handful of fresh ones
1 packet chicken, turkey or mushroom gravy mix (low salt if possible)
garlic and/or onion if available (fresh or dried)

Empty the veggies, chicken, seasoning packets, gravy mix, and a can of water into a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add the ramen, cover, turn off heat. Let sit for five minutes. Stir. Ladle into bowls. Only soup you'll ever want a fork for.

If people can't make soup when it is that simple....

"...2 cans of vegitables..."

Veg all is great stuff for soup...

Raven, you have to remember this is a country where there is a "warning" label on Pop-Tarts,
(Quote)
1. remove pastry from wrapper
2. place in toaster on lowest setting
3. remove from toaster (caution pastry contents will be hot)
If cooking in microwave cook no longer then 3 seconds (caution contents will be hot)
This warning comes from a generic brand of toaster pasteries

Heating Pop-Tarts? Who does that???

Agreed, Veg-All is an awesome soup starter. The Veg-All Site has some really great recipes. One of my favorites that I've tried is Veg-All Black Bean soup. The only variation I take from this recipe is to add a can of diced tomatoes and several shots of Sriracha Chili Sauce or Tabasco.


It's really hard to go wrong with these simple recipes.

I put them in the toaster, that way the butter I put on the non-frosted side can melt in better. It actually makes it a more healthy meal!

"...It actually makes it a more healthy meal!..."

Really? From the butter I presume. My problem is, when I resort to eating them, I am far from a toaster. If toaster (and electricity) is handy, there are other things I eat...
