Our power went off Tuesday morning at 7:55. I had just turned the griddle on to make Hamilton, Dale and I some French toast for breakfast. We waited around a few minutes to see if Duke Power would set things humming again, but to no avail. In fact, they said it would probably be 1:00pm before the problem was fixed. My pioneer skills quickly kicked in to feed a hungry little boy. Our woodstove was already hot from its house-heating endeavor so I grabbed the iron skillet and improvised. I even cooked some hard-boiled eggs (which took so long, we had them for lunch). This is not the first time we've used our woodstove during power outages and I'm grateful for it. We can stay warm and we can cook, but we don't have water since our pump is electric--oh well, two out of three's not bad.
