He came. He kicked ass. He faded away.

I called mom tonight, and, in spite of the fact that my folks live in
Baton Rouge where the maximum sustained winds reached 91 MPH, they're
okay. They lost power at 11 this morning. Part of their (new) roof
blew off a little later. Mom and Dad had to climb up in the attic
with an old shower curtain to patch the leak from inside the decking.
Not the best way to fix a leak, but in the face of hurricane winds
outside it was just about the only way. Mom was freaked out by the
work of walking on joists. She's 77 (78 in October) and her knees
aren't what they once were. Prayers were involved with eah step, she
told me. Later, when things got less hairy, a neighbor secured a tarp
up there on the outside. Meanwhile my 79-year-old father a made
repeated trips up in the attic to deal with the assorted buckets and
pots catching the leaking water.

Dad was asleep when I called. Go figure.

This afternoon, a few showers hit about 50 miles from my place in Cow
Hill. And a line of rainless clouds passed over our house from NE to
SW. They were part of the storm system that hit Louisiana today. I'm
over 400 miles NW of Baton Rouge. The storm is east of there, too.
Gustav was a big guy.

Incidentally, mom's father was named Gustav. A Swede in south
Louisiana. Go figure. My grandfather was never so hard as this
storm.

OBFood: Mom's big worry about losing power was not the loss of air
conditioning, but that all the food in the freezer was going to thaw.
They have a kerosene lamp for light, but several pounds of crab meat
were stockpiled in the deep freeze for our next visit. If it thaws,
she'll have to give it away. They have an electric stove, you see. So
they can't cook it. Come Wednesday, it might pay to visit the Baton
Rouge St. Vincent de Paul shop.

I don't think I could have done what your mom did. I'm scared of
heights. Your parents come from sturdy stock! Hopefully their
freezer will keep everything cold until the electricity comes back on.
Tell them not to open the door!

Glad to hear they're ok. They might be a little sore tomorrow.

I reckon I'd be on the phone with the roofing contractor who put their "new"
roof on as soon as everybody gets back.

I live in a hurricane zone and there is no excuse for shoddy work. We have
to build for 140 mph sustained, 160 mph gusts here.
Every shingle counts. Every piece of the house counts. You have to
remember that rain seldom falls straight down here. (and where they live)

Michael, please tell your mom to NOT OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR TO CHECK ON
THE ICINESS OF THE FOOD WITHIN. That is her best tack, apart from a
generator, for keeping it frozen. If her freezer is pretty full, she
can be good for 3-4 days.

I bet there's an ice plant within a few miles, they'll have dry ice...
everyone should have the business card of their local ice plant taped
to their fridge. There're a few locations in Baton Rouge.

Genius! 80 year old people driving around in a hurricane looking for dry
ice.
I suppose it's true about living in a cold climate. Most of your brain
cells freeze.

Get that ****ing cat off the counter!

When cyclone Althea demolished Townsville on Christmas eve 1971
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Wanda#Cyclone_Althea_.281971.29>
and power was not restored for days, a friend of mine organised his
neighbours to have a backyard "cook-off" on gas BBQs and/or open
fires.

The idea was to cook food in pressure cookers to sterlise it before
it went bad though lack of cooling, then keep the cooker sealed until
needed. So the group ate their way through the collective food store
one cooker load at a time!

I gather it worked out well. The meat wasn't wasted, and no one got
the shits!

Cheers, Phred.

Pressure cookers are the gods. I cool stuff I cook in it all the time
at room temp for up to 24 hours. I just leave it sealed and do NOT
remove the weight!

The only time I ever got food poisoning from stew was the time I cooked
it in an open stock pot and tried refrigerator cooling.

I make all that kind of thing in the PC now, including chicken feet as a
medicinal for recent back issues.

I have degenerating disks. Sucks to get older with bad genetics. :-(

Arthritis and degenerative disk disease.

Also, for the first time in many years, I've been able to lose weight
without losing my hair on a low carb diet. Been eating a high collegen
diet (a lot of chicken feet and trotters) since the end of May 2008.

And my fingernails are growing in faster and stronger. :-)

Mainly tho', it appears to be helping with really bad back pain from the
degenerated disks. The last two disks on my lower lumbar spine are
essentially gone.

It's like a runaway case of Sciatica from hell...

If I'd not lose so much income going on disability, I'd be tempted to
apply for it. I've chosen to continue working instead, despite the
chronic pain. :-P

Chicken (and pigs and calves) feet appear to provide the body with the
nutritional building blocks to at least halt the degenerative process,
but YMMV as always. ;-)

Plus, they are a cheap source of protein on a low carb diet. Losing the
flab will help with these issues as well as anything else...

as will swimming regularly. My city has a local activity center with 7
lap lanes. I have access to their pool and weight room for $80.00 per
YEAR!

Both the Ortho' and the Chiro' have told me to swim for therapy.

Oh, I do that too, but the shoe boxes stack better and utilize space
better. I always keep a supply of sterilized plastic jugs on hand to
fill for drinking water too. And don't forget to clean a trash
barrel, fill with water - it heats in the sun after the storm passes,
the power is off, and you can't face a cold shower. : ))

I'm consumed with joint pain as well. Chicken feet are readily available
here. You have my addy. Send me a recipe or 3.

Why not just post them here in RFC? It would be a nice change to have
an offal thread rather than the many awful threads.

Oh! Sorry! :-)

I pressure cook chicken feet for 45 minutes or trotters (pigs feet) for
one hour. They make great soup. You can easily debone the trotters and
add them back to the stock for a good soup.

I PC them with the usual stock aromatics, onion, garlic, celery, salt
free lemon pepper, carrot, and I also add Shitake mushroom powder to add
extra vitamin D. Plus it adds flavor.

Strain off the stock when done to cool, debone the meat and let the
stock chill overnight for defatting.

The chicken feet, I hide in my bedroom with a salt shaker, or a bottle
of either soy sauce or some hot sauce, (they are good either way), suck
the good stuff off the bones and spit the bones out. <g>

Not very elegant but OH so tasty.

Our local wal-mart sells chicken feet! They are a popular mexican food.

Pigs feet are easier to prepare and use as a soup, but I like the
chicken flavor better personally.

Our local grocery store also sells calves feet and those work too...

as will any animal bone section that contains a lot of cartilage,
tendons and ligaments. That's what you want and there are many ways to
stew that stuff. It just has to be pressure cooked, or slow cooked over
a long period to melt it all into a jelly.

I personally love the texture. Some people don't.

Do you like chicken feet babe?

I'll e-mail you and Kili then. Chicken feet really have been helping
with joint/back pain (after pigging out on them for about 6 weeks plus)
and I happen to like them. Plus they are a cheap source of protein for a
low carb diet, and trotters are even cheaper.

<grins> I just posted how I fix them. You can also google for other
recipes. There are some complicated thai recipes I've not tried.
Pressure cooking them with various aromatics is quick and EASY.

Pressure for 45 minutes.

Eat with hot sauce or soy sauce, or just a bit of salt or if going low
sodium, salt substitute.

They are often called "phoenix claws".

Can we get more info on what you do with the chicken feet? I know a

Thanks Om. I just saw your other post with the details, together with
