The night the lights went out in Georgia

picture it. winnipeg; 6:30 AM. Steaming hot shower. Then darkness.

That was me this morning! Power was off for about an hour, so breakfast, dressing and showering were all done in the dark. Poor kiddo. Her options for breakfast were cereal, cereal, or cereal.

I was sort of hoping it'd stay off as I parked in the garage last night, and it's an electronic opener. No power, no workie. No such luck. So here I sit, looking out the window (sort of), and the world looks like giant snow globe.

I DID make soup from scratch last night, with no recipe and no clue. Living on an idea and a dream, and it turned out pretty freaking tasty.

Check the recipe here!

Tonight I'll be making homemade pasta sauce, and my next soup adventure will be a tomato/balsamic/cheese concoction.

I'll keep you posted!

Peace, love, and AP's

too funny we had 2 power outages this morning while getting ready too! ours were only 1 minute each time but I too thought the same thing about the vehicle, till DH reminded me when we have a manual over-ride handle..sigh

I can't wait to hear about the soup planned for tonight sounds yummy!

The power was off in Winnipeg? Darn snow. Can't wait for the +4 on Thursday. We'll believe that when we see it!
