You can buy a generator, stock up on water and non-perishable foods, tie down or bring inside any free-standing deck furniture and house decorations, move to safer ground, and test your evacuation plan.
Or, you can sit back, watch the weather, and sip a tropical drink.
One guess which preparations Bri and I opted for.... Wait for it...
I adapted this recipe for New Orlean's original Pat O'Brien's Hurricane, making a pitcher-full to enjoy all evening. This is what I did...
Ingredients
1 C light rum
1 C dark rum
1 C V8 Splash, Tropical Blend
1/2 C orange juice
1/4 C lime juice
1/4 C simple syrup
1/4 C Grenadine
The Hurricane
Stir all ingredients together in a pitcher and serve over ice, garnished with an orange slice.
Bring it on, Irene.
What a fun approach! I chose the more traditional preparation. Kevin is working on a combination tactic!! Either way, we are ready for Irene!!
