After two weeks with no electricity our power is finally back on! The first week wasn't so bad, the novelty of cooking on a gas stove and reading by torchlight felt like a camping adventure. The second week was less fun, but still bearable. The thought of a third week was not good at all, cold showers and early nights are no fun on a regular basis!
Luckily we had the chance to escape to Kaikoura for the last couple of weekends, which made the dog happy too.
The chickens also seem to be happy at the moment, they've been on a laying rampage since the earthquake. Now that we have power again (power!) I might just have to bake a cake to use the egg surplus. Any recipe recommendations?
make a cake from the Amy Sedaris cupcakes recipe! [http://www.amysedarisrocks.com/recipes.htm] it is the BEST vanilla one. it'll probably be lumpy and thick and deeelicious.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear that things are getting back on track for you guys - that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best dog photo ever! So glad you have power again. The longest ours has ever been out was a week after a hurricane, and the novelty wore off fairly quickly.
