Hurricane Soup

School is canceled and I will keep cooking and baking. As the storm approached I vacuumed my house and washed clothes while my dog and cat were following me feeling a bit worried. They feel the storm way ahead of us.

Made vat of beet greens and collards and Jamie's home made sausages soup it became a Chinese soup with sesame oil, garlic, water chestnuts, fresh garlic three bulbs thrown in unwrapped, fresh ginger grated, six whole hot chili. Tastes like naked dumplings. I might throw in some dumpling skins and call it a hurricane dumpling soup.

I've set bread to rise. Our neighborhood probably had no sleep - huge swaths of aluminum siding came loose and was flapping sounding like metal crushing all night.
