Congratulations. We did it. We all successfully weathered another Hurricane Katrina anniversary.
All together now: Whew.
We fully acknowledge that remembering the storm and all that it cost us is important. That’s why we recently published a chronicling of St. Tammany Parish Hospital’s own storm story, built around a recently unearthed, hour-by-hour Katrina diary kept by one of our former colleagues.
It’s a pretty good read, if we don’t say so ourselves – but after all of the local media coverage and all of the heartfelt tributes, nobody can be faulted for feeling a little Katrina fatigue.
So rather than add to it, we’ve decided to give you something totally unrelated: tacos.
After all, tacos make everything better. But also, the folks at Parish Tacos in Mandeville were recently kind enough to lead one of our Healthier Northshore cooking demonstrations. In addition to dishing out a wealth of kitchen tips, they also shared their recipe for Shrimp Tacos with homemade Pico de Gallo.
It’s almost as simple to make as it is delicious. You’ll find a link to it below.
Just remember: Although this year’s Katrina-versary is in the rearview, hurricane season runs through Nov. 30. So, stay prepared, stay vigilant and stay safe.
OK, that’s it for hurricane talk. We hope you enjoy your tacos – and we hope you enjoy this month’s other headlines from our St. Tammany Health System newsroom.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for trusting St. Tammany with your family’s care.
