Cooking up a storm? I should think not. The Southeast has had more than its share of storms in the last month. And in one more month, hurricane season begins!

Leaving storms aside, I always seem to be cooking up something. Using a certain Feed Zone recipe as a starting point, I\’ve fixed hot dogs about half a dozen different ways. Then I made it with cauliflower! I bet it would be good with potatoes, too.

A month or two ago I found Taco Complete in the salvage store. I added a can of it to a pot of cooked lentils. Success! I tried it in black beans, too, and finally ordered a six-pack of Taco Complete online.

Then, day before yesterday, I stopped in the local Walgreens to get a few more Quest Bars. On my way to the checkout, I walked through the aisle where canned goods are. To my astonishment, I found Taco Complete there! I\’m sure it wasn\’t ever there before. I grabbed two cans, and now I can try \”TC\” in pinto beans!

What about the aforementioned hurricane season? I\’ll have to watch things. Cooking up too much stuff to freeze could result in loss of a lot of frozen food! What if the power goes out for more than a day?

It might not happen, though. Meanwhile, I\’ll keep on thinking up more things to cook.
