Blacked Out

Thanks to the recent storms, the power at my home went out yesterday. I spent the rest of the night searching for flashlights (I have the hand-turned sort that mean I don't have to hunt around for batteries but that doesn't mean I can forget where I put them) and setting up the grill to cook up a bunch of thawing meat before it went bad. Today, I have to search through the fridge and see what can and can't be saved - at least it's blessedly cooler today. Not sure when the power will be back so I'll be on yet another blogging hiatus until then.
