Tagine for Two Days

After listening to the news and watching clips of people shuttering their windows, stacking sandbags, evacuating low lying areas, and hearing of crews coming from as far away as Texas to help with power outages, we opted to return to the grocery store.

Three cans of tuna, a bag of ginger snaps, three boxes of cereal, vegetables for a seven-vegetable tagine, dried apricots and walnuts—

Then add the tagine to Israeli couscous and we're set for two days.

This afternoon we went to the library to take out additional books. Suppose I don't want to read one of the books I've already taken out?

We've plugged in all the pluggable electronics— put batteries in the radio, put batteries in the clip-on light for reading.

School's been cancelled for tomorrow. I wonder if the local coffee shop will be open tomorrow morning?

Perhaps the storm will veer out to sea?
