Everyone by now has heard about Sandy, the mass super storm that hit the East Coast last week. I will admit I paid little to no attention to the news before the storm. The newscasters here in MN are well known for being wrong about the weather reports. I figured it was the same.
But then I started seeing posts on my twitter feed and facebook of people without power. And then the flooding and other pictures starting swamping my facebook feed. And I couldn’t turn away from the news. We had so so so minor flooding in our town earlier this spring and witnessing that alone I cannot image. I felt so very helpless in my warm house. I instantly wanted to help, but what can I do? I donated a few things that I had extra around the house and then saw this blogging event. And knew I had to participate.
Comfort food is a standby around here in the winter. Nothing warms the soul more then a warm casserole or hotdish. I wish I could deliver a bunch of these dishes to the hardest hit. So please take a moment today and donate to the Red Cross, and say a prayer for all the people hit by this violent horrible storm.

Yum! That looks great. We’d definitely enjoy that in our house!
Thanks so much Carrie for joining in and spreading the word about relief efforts for hurricane Sandy victims – the rice casserole sounds like a perfect comfort dish.
Such a nice idea
