A few minutes after my 5 am alarm went off, strong storms knocked out electricity in our neighborhood. So far our home seems to be without damage, just some branches and things knocked over that are easily dealt with.
Hopefully the electricity comes back soon, though. I just did about $300 worth of grocery shopping this weekend. It would really suck to have to replace it
If you know me, you know I love coffee, and I prefer my morning coffee hot. I’m not ready to dig out a camping stove yet, so I tried a hack I saw floating around. You put four tea lights in the cups of a muffin tin and put a pan of water or whatever you’re trying to heat above them. I fully expected it not to work, but it did! The water even started boiling. It did take a while, but I got my hot coffee.
I did try using my tea kettle first, but the saucepan worked better.
Since the electricity is out, I am writing this on my phone, so please excuse any typos. 😄
