They say they have 100 days of water left in their main reservoir, with no rain in sight. What they needed this year was a good drenching from a tropical storm, but they didn't get it.<BR/><BR/>Emm, I don't have any plans to travel around much. I'm flying from Atlanta to New Bern and then pretty much staying put, as far as I know.<BR/><BR/>Melinda, thanks for the warning, and Carol, thanks for the recipe. Betty, isn't it true about potatoes in France? And the thing is that the potatoes here are so varied and delicious.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-69827848922524263072007-10-17T03:07:00.000+02:002007-10-17T03:07:00.000+02:00Are you planning on travelling inland any, to the ...Are you planning on travelling inland any, to the Triad?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-71719751392543753402007-10-16T21:37:00.000+02:002007-10-16T21:37:00.000+02:00My folks in Georgia were just talking to me about ...My folks in Georgia were just talking to me about the water shortage, too.

To serve 4 people as a light supper dish:<BR/><BR/>6 - 8 Potatoes<BR/>2 Onions <BR/>3 Tablespoons of butter<BR/>2 cans of anchovy filets<BR/>6 fl. oz. single cream<BR/><BR/>Peel and cut potatoes into thin sticks (match sticks), slice onions and saute lightly in butter. Drain anchovies and cut in pieces (reserve oil). Put potatoes, onion and anchovies in layers in a buttered baking dish (first and last layer should be potatoes). Dot with butter. Pour liquid from anchovies and half of the cream over the mixture and bake for 20 minutes then pour the remainder of the cream over the dish and bake for a further 30 minutes.<BR/><BR/>Hope thats helpful and maybe you will try it one day.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-16643539843116077832007-10-16T16:47:00.000+02:002007-10-16T16:47:00.000+02:00be prepared for water rationing....it's horrendous...be prepared for water rationing....it's horrendously dry everywhere in the southeast & no rain in sight ! leaves are turning brown & falling......some color, but mostly dead leaves....still in the 80's here in VA tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
