Nashville Needs You

// May 4th, 2010 // Cooking, Life in General

I’ve been shamefully out of touch the last couple of days.  I’m still swamped with work, and lately, I’ve been obsessed with keeping up with the news about the flooding in Nashville.  I grew up in Nashville, and it’s heartbreaking to me to see it so devastated right now.  Fortunately, my family members still living there are fine and suffered little to no property damage.  However, many of my friends and other Tennesseans weren’t so lucky.  Many people lost everything.   If you’ve been stockpiling your fantastic deals, this would be a great opportunity to share with those who really need it.  You can visit Hands On Nashville for more information on how you can help  in the relief effort.

I’ll post some pictures that my brother-in-law took when I have more time.   In the meantime, you can see pictures of the damage on The Tennessean online.

In unrelated news, Charla over at Confessions of a Stay at Home Mom has posted a new freezer recipe for spaghetti sauce.  Her version has both ground beef and bulk sausage, and it sounds super yummy.  I know first-hand that Charla, a former Family and Consumer Science (Home Ec.) teacher, is a fantastic cook.  I can’t wait to add her freezer spaghetti sauce to my stash.
