Does being housebound mean lots of cooking will occur?

I think so! Looks like DC is supposed to start getting rain around noon and then heavy rain and wind this evening. Growing up in Louisiana meant preparing for hurricanes on a very regular basis. Boarding up windows, getting food and water supplies set up and so forth. Until Hurricane Rita, though, I don't recall ever actually getting more than a bit of rain; often it would be absolutely beautiful outside, and you always wondered if the weathermen were tricking you so you'd always be practiced in hurricane procedure. Anyway, I'm hoping we have that experience here today but it is a bit grim outside.So unless we lose power, I suspect there will be much TV watched and many things baked. Stay tuned...
