Who’s in the kitchen:Dinner by candlelight

Posted

No power. No heat. No fridge or freezer. No oven. No microwave. No TV. No Internet. No phone. No cell service. No lights, washing machines or dryers. Gas lines were blocks long and ran out of gas as it was nearing my turn. A huge tree fell across my pool, my boiler broke and after the power was returned, my Sub Zero compressor blew. My thermostat in my bedroom read 43 degrees at night and I went to bed so bundled that I resembled the Michelin man.

Yet each day I awoke and thanked Hashem. I was one of the lucky ones. No one in my family or that I knew was injured. My house had no water damage, my cars weren’t flooded and no trees fell on them or my home. Although I had no power of any sort for 12 days, I still considered myself one of the lucky ones.
