I made chili yesterday.First time in a long time and it really hit warm in my tummy.Actually made me long for picnic weather with hot dogs on the grill.

My area has not experienced any power outages and I pray that we don't.The furnace won't work without power so it would be very stressful to manage the low temperatures.I think last time I checked it was 20 or 21 degrees.

I have bananas and oranges on hand.I think there might be one apple also.I have several cans of fruit and even a trail mix with dried fruit and nuts.

I don't worry about starving but I sure wouldn't want to freeze to death.I hope my uncle is safe.He lives in another county south of me My sisters are in Ohio.Both those areas are colder than here.

Do you have a favorite soup or other food on hand in case of emergencies? I have beens but they aren't any good without being cooked.Makes me want a gas stove.

All I'd need to do is set my perishables outside on the porch to preserve their stability.Stay warm and keep everyone in prayers please.
