Hurricane Party Thursday #330.

[Pinot's Mom]

How come that's called Hurricane Cake? Any idea? Doesn't seem like something you could make if the power was out, or featuring much in "tropical" ingredients ...

Karen, in my search I found that cake was originally called Earthquake Cake, but I can't find a reason for either name! I don't think I'd be making it in either situation!

"I just have had a funk for the last few days. Life interrupted."

Well, then, barkeep - let me get YOU a hurry-cane! Anything serious?

What do you have for stupid family members?

[Pinot's Mom]

Oh, no, not that!! You'll need something stronger! Have a shot of whiskey with the hurry-cane!

I think I need to punch myself in the head a few times!

Better me than someone else?

DONE!?!?!?!

Sad that a little girl died watching the hurricane in Maine. Rest in peace, Clio. Several people were washed off a ledge while watching the storm. Her father and another man were rescued, and others clawed their way back onto the rocks, but she was just 7 years old, and likely just to small to withstand the heavy surf.

Very sad.

Let's have a moment of silence for her here, okay?

RICHARD, could I have a DOUBLE hurricane, please? I'm beginning to gather together the things I want to take with me. The big move should happen about next monday or tuesday.

Sure you can! Glad you are in good spirits about your move and hope you aren't out of touch for very long!

Done!
