we're back, at least one of us.....

what a crazy week. just checking in here. unfortunately only one of us has power at this moment. what's funny is that i spent just over 48 hours without power and what is the first task i do with electricity? it wasn't watch TV or check my email (ok i admit i had power at work so i wasn't that far removed from worldly events)...... its can. yep that's right. i had originally planned to complete that daunting task on monday. that was a no go. so wednesday evening i ended up canning about 15 jars of either stewed tomatoes or spaghetti sauce. i get this huge feeling of success when its completed. i love sitting there and looking at the jars. the popping (sealing) brings a nice sense of relief too........

during the power outage we did locate a newer restaurant (chain) that i had never been too. we were driving up colerain ave (thinking they would actually have power) looking for lights and hoping for sanity one evening and ended up a logan's roadhouse. its exactly as one would expect. middle of the road prices coupled with middle of the road food. at that point anything might have worked for me, but now i can at least walk away knowing better the second time. eric feels i'm being pretty nice right now and would describe it as a small step above golden corral. words used to describe the food include bland and dull. all i can say is that we won't be returning......

hope everyone else's life is returning to normal and here's to hoping krissy has power restored quickly to her house.......
