A transformer blew Sunday night while I was in the middle of cooking dinner for me and my hubby. No problemo mi amigo. We got this thing under control.
Battery operated shop light - check
candles - check
gas stove - check
fire up the fire pit - check
fire up the grill - check
battery operated music - double check
a good bottle of wine - check check check check ( I got a little carried away with the wine)
We had a candlelit dinner and enjoyed a nice bottle of wine by the fire in 95 degree weather. You just can't go opening the fridge when you don't know when the electricity will be back so it's important to keep several bottles of red wine in the disaster survival kit. You just never know when it will be needed.
BONUS: I didn't have to do laundry or any other chores that required electricity or light.
