Hurricane cooking.

We're hunkered down, waiting for Hurricane Irene to arrive. Our cupboards are fully stocked in the event we lose power (which we probably will). It's a no-cooking event -- canned tuna, a big jug of tea, lots of water, chips, salsa, peanut butter, cheeses, mustards, olive oil, sweet basil, Balsamic vinegar, and freshly-baked breads. 

Post-hurricane treat: Fresh veggies -- zucchini, broccoli, onions, tomatoes and artichokes -- to grill outdoors after the storm has passed.

For our East Coast friends: what are you planning to eat and serve while the storm swirls around you?
