party recipe.
The first bands of rain ahead of Hurricane Irene are now here on the
South Shore of Long Island. I am fairly well prepared, just have a few
more things to attend to. I am planning to ride it out here, as we are
three blocks away from the evacuation area.
If I lose power when the storm hits I may be off line for a few days.
Please take good care of the groups for me in my absence.
Please Wish us luck and send good thoughts this way.
May Irene weaken and break apart, and may the damage be minimal.

A Hurricane Party Recipe from a friend.
If your stove is electric, Make this while you still have power.
I have been trying to use up what is in the freezer ahead of the storm.
Sweet Onion Casserole
Ingredients:
3/4 cup uncooked basmati rice
5 cups water
1/4 cup butter
3 pounds sweet onions, coarsely chopped
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan, and sprinkle in the rice.
Stir, reduce heat to low, and simmer the rice until it is half-cooked,
about 5 minutes. Drain the rice, and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir
the onions until translucent but not browned, about 8 minutes. Mix the
cooked onions and the butter from the skillet with the rice, and stir
in the half-and-half, salt, and 1 3/4 cup of the Swiss cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle the
remaining 1/4 cup of Swiss cheese over the top.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the rice is tender and the
top is lightly browned, about 1 hour.
Makes 8 servings
Serve with a crusty bread, chilled Chardonnay, Chablis, or a Sparkling Water.
