Comfort Food
This is the quiet before the storm. It is the time when the weather people start revving everyone up. In no time at all the shelves will be clean of batteries, flashlights, water and bread. Sometimes it seems as if the hype is larger than the storm—but this time it appears as if all the experts agree—"big storm."
Our governor has declared a state of emergency. Anyone living close to the coast has cause to be concerned because of the high surf and beach erosion.
We're concerned about four trees which look as if a high wind could topple them—or at least break off limbs.
Today we bought water, bread, batteries and chicken.
Why chicken? It's soul food, comforting food. And my grandmother always cooked chicken whenever someone was ill or when you needed some extra loving or when you celebrated. Chicken, dressed up or dressed down, did it all.
