Stress like that associated with hurricanes makes people do strange things.
Stress like that makes ME do even STRANGER things, at all hours of the day and night.
For instance, take a look at this picture:
Goober Peas...
Defense Exhibit A, the substance in the big boiler, is 4 pounds of nice, fresh, green Georgia peanuts.
Surrounding Exhibit A is a couple of gallons of water, seasoned with about 1-1/2 cups of kosher salt, some tabasco, red pepper, and a great deal of patience and love expended over four hours of soaking and cooking at a low temperature simmer.
The items in the middle on the paper towel are peanuts that gave their lives in the name of quality control.
I'm cooking right now as I write, and I sure hope that there are some peanuts left to eat when they are done cooking...
