Today was the first day the "oh God the power went out" canning supply was helpful
Our power went out for about 6 hours, thankfully we have a generator that we can hook up to our tractors PTO so we are only actually out of power for 4 hours and the freezers downstairs were safe as well as our refrigerator.
The problem here is that I have three kids who eat a lot of food. Thankfully I can like crazy every summer, because this happened right when I needed to start making dinner. They actually ate pretty damn well considering that I did not have a heating source or access to the fridge. Peanut butter and honey sandwiches, some canned peaches, applesauce, some pickled bell peppers and green beans. It only sounds like a lot of food until I remember that my oldest is extremely active, so when the power went out all three kids bolted outside and were out there playing very hard. 🤦♀️
