Waiting Out the Storm
When the blizzard of 2013 hit my neck of the woods...the power went out for over a day. A blessing it wasn't longer. It was cold, however and we needed to eat during that day. Our fireplace made sure we didn't freeze or starve...
It was sort of like camping!
I had some experience from an open hearth cooking class at Mystic Seaport back in 2011, but I recommend you don't necessarily try this at home. The bacon grease splashed and it took forever to get the water to boil (it was fun, though).
We feasted on eggs, bacon and toast and hot tea to go with.
