1. Cold breakfast.

Power out, lanterns on, sun not up, chilly with light winds, never knew how much I liked electricity.

2. Oh no!!

Hot beverages available? Any idea when you will be back up?

7. How I remember the blizzard of '93 in the Southeastern US.

We lived in the mtns. of western NC and had about 32" of snow over 24 hrs. My husband made coffee on the propane grill. I tried to cook oatmeal over a candle in our chafing dish, but it never go hot enough to boil. Fortunately we had plenty of food, juice, water, kerosene to tide us over for the 3 or 4 days it took to get thru with no electricity. We were connected to a well which functioned on electricity, but we were connected to a municipal sewer system, so we were very fortunate. Everything ran downhill!

3. No idea when electricity will be back. We are on well water. So no water, either.

Lots of dog and cat food which is most important. Plenty of bottled water. If this is roughing it, I am not a fan.

5. yeah, pup dogs and kitties don't understand electrical shutdowns

Glad you at least have bottled water and I hope your devices are powered up to get you through.

4. bought leek sprouts at the Farmer's Market yesterday

and used them in one of my favorite breakfasts: cheddar cheese omelette with chili sauce. I sprinkled the leek sprouts over the omelette. Also chopped chives to mix with the egg.

Cup of ginger tea, made from grated ginger. No tea bags here anymore.

Irisblue, cauliflower muffins are riced cauliflower, a cup of cheddar, Italian seasonings, onion, and egg to hold it together. Put them in a cupcake/muffin liner to bake in the tin.

6. Your post about plastic in tea bags

I now rip open mine and use the strainer.
