Deadline: 6:00 PM CENTRAL - September 30

Query:

"The extended power outages of hurricanes bring special challenges, namely what to eat and how to cook it. Were looking for unique
recipes from actual hurricane victims who are cooking (or just
stirring together) unexpectedly delicious concoctions in the face
of extreme circumstances.

Give us your tips on how to prepare, starting with the grocery
list. What did you buy that turned out to be a stroke of
brilliance? What food in your freezer were you able to turn into a
delicious meal? What keeps in the cooler better than you thought?
What foods would you NOT recommend? And what are the ingredients
needed to replicate your one-of-a-kind hurricane recipe? We want to
hear it ALL! Any other long-term, no-power survival tips are also
welcomed.

Please email your response to hurricanefood@gmail.com. Be sure to
include your name and the name, date, and location of the hurricane
you survived (example Ike 08, Houston, TX) along with your tips and
recipes. We will follow up your submission with a more detailed
survey. All selections will be properly credited.
