Hi Dave,

 DD> Is that hurricane now beating the snot out of Jamaica predicted to hit
 DD> your area? Or will you just get the "fallout" from it?

 RH> Right now most of the spaghetti plots (NOOA tracking lines) have it
 RH> headed straight west, a few of them have it taking a curve to the
 RH> northeast. If it holds to the westward plotting, we will not be
 RH> affected but if it takes the bend to the northeast, we may get some
 RH> rain and rip currents along the coast. We'll know better by this time
 RH> next week.

 DD> Everything I've seen says it's headed for Mexico.

Last update I saw, looked like there was still a chance it might turn
towards TX. Just have to keep following it and keep the gas tanks full.

 DD>      8<----- SHORTEN ----->8

 DD>  .. I'm not a know-it-all, I just Google faster than you

 RH> How true these days. Steve was wondering about something the other day,
 RH> as he was thinking out loud, I did a quick Google search and gave him
 RH> his answer. (G)

 DD> I don't use Google for a number of reasons. I have used Bing
 DD> (Microsoft's search engine) since I found it. Less overt advertising
 DD> and biased "results" And the "sponsored" results are labelled. Now if
 DD> I could just get rid of the AI Bot ("Copilot") that they've intruded
 DD> into my searches ........

 RH> I've always used Google; that's what Steve has put on my computer. (G)

 DD> Google is so common that it has become a verb as well as a nooun. I,
 DD> on the other hoof, am a contrarian who regrets the demise of Alta
 DD> Vista (my first search engine). I'm considering test flying the oddly
 DD> named "Duck Duck Go" search engine as the AI in Bing is becoming
 DD> increasingly a pain in my sit-upon.

Or as my mom used to say, "pain in the neck and I sit on my neck". (G)


 DD>       Title: Justin & Christine's Hurricane Pork
 DD>  Categories: Pork, Curry, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servigns

 RH> As long as the power stays on, this will work for cooking in a
 RH> hurricane. Unfortunatly, power is usually one of the first things to go
 RH> so a slow cooker can't be used. If that were the case, I'd use the
 RH> propane oven in the camper or one of our grills (have both propane and
 RH> charcoal). (G)

 DD> I picked that recipe because it was the only thing in my collection
 DD> that would let me "do a Burton" that didn't have booze as an
 DD> ingredient. Bv)=

I don't mind reading those recipies; I just most likely wouldn't make
it.


 DD>       Title: Texas Tornado Cake *
 DD>  Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Desserts
 DD>       Yield: 9 Servings

Very similar to what my mom used to call Hot Fudge Pudding. I've also
seen it called Hot Fudge Sundae Cake and other, similar names. The water
sinks to the bottom as the cake bakes and makes sort of a pudding or
sauce layer that is usually on top when the cake is scooped up and
inverted into a bowl. It was probably our favorite family dessert and I
made it often when the girls were growing up. A couple of years ago
Rachel texted me, said she'd been thinking about it and did I still have
the recipe. A few minutes later, she got a readable picture of the
recipe via text. (G)
