I skimmed over that about the freezer...Great point. I skimmed over that about the freezer. We knew (from pre-storm research) that if we left the freezer shut, we'd have about 48 hours until things started going bad. So we waited, lined up friends with freezers, and hoped. By 36 hours, it was clear that there was no hope of power coming back, so we triaged. The stuff in our kitchen freezer was solid--even the popsicles and ice cubes were still 100% fine. But the big freezer had some casualties. So I purged some (hello, puff pastry, what was I thinking?) and ran to friends with power with stuff for their freezers. And we kept bags of ice in the fridge, which we had also mostly emptied before the storm just in case. And by day 3, we had moved the milk and OJ to the cooler with new ice. Manageable, but a bummer.Ooniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15162162953846737959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069766352588066139.post-406579854270590462011-09-05T19:50:14.393-04:002011-09-05T19:50:14.393-04:00That's some giveaway! Thanks for the head'...That's some giveaway! Thanks for the head's up.<br /><br />So glad you have your power back. One question...how did you use things from your freezer? When we lose power we're always loathe top open ours because we're so intent on preserving the cold, it leaves us without many cooking choices.<br /><br />Hope you all get into the swing of things soon.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.com
