Thaw before reheating.

While the city of New Orleans saw minor damage from Gustav, communities around the city were hard-hit. Of the stories coming in, the destruction in lands of the United Houma Nation is great.
Also in Houma is a large community of Nicaraguans, who work in the nearby shipyards. I heard from a friend that they evacuated from their trailers to shelters further north. Waiting for word on whether their homes remain.

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.
