Darn short subject fields! <g> "Spring has sprung, the River has
Riz."
Locally the Mississippi River is two feet over flood stage (message earlier this week I didn't think it was that high yet); they're
closing River Drive downriver from downtown Davenport as a precaution. Appears part of the flood prep now is not to wait until the very last minute.

Guess you are in flood season, then... Good to be somewhat
proactive... have any of the floodwalls appeared yet...?

Drive -- downriver from Downtown Davenport. River is stll about 2'
above flood stage; yesterday's snow won't make much difference locally. They are predicting another snow tonight which according to the
current tracking is 2-3" for here but 10" in SE Iowa.
As long as it stays away from the River....? <G>
... Cooking tip: Wrap leftover turkey in aluminum foil and throw
it out

Last I heard the River is back within it's banks and the flood
barricades have been removed. (Wonder if they used the reusable
ones?)

I don't follow that tip, either... we tend to have it over the

and I'd just as soon not throw away food.... ;)

just do a turkey thigh or two....

As for Michigan -- eek! Saw their flooded streets, etc., on the news.
And Texas had ping

area but not nearby -- just close enough to make him a little nervous.

Chicken tikka masala is a dish of chunks of roasted marinated
chicken in a spiced curry sauce. The sauce is usually creamy and orange-coloured. There are multiple claims to its place of origin
such as the United Kingdom and Indian subcontinent. It is among the
United Kingdom's most popular dishes.
Sounds like the tagline had a bit of confusion. ...Not like I've
never had that problem!
