The Gulf Didn't Just Fix Itself Overnight

I watched the new Dinner: Impossible on my DVR last night... Chef Robert Irvine (a personal hero of mine, even before this episode) cooked a thank-you dinner for over 1000 Hands On volunteers in Biloxi, Mississippi; despite kitchen and supply problems, he managed to pull it off.

He then purchased furniture for a woman who had been rendered homeless by Hurrican Katrina for the last 2 years and presented her with the key to her brand new house, completely built by the volunteers. It really made me realize that the problems Katrina left in the Gulf Coast haven't gone away, and they really still need help from people like us.
