This might sound like a cheap, romantic dinner except that Brad had to ask what we were suppose to do during dinner without the TV on (like we’ve never enjoyed a single meal in our 9 years without the TV to entertain us). Did I mention that the candlelight wasn’t optional- it was necessary due to our blackout the other night?
After complaining about the end of a not-so-much summer, we were blasted with a heat wave on Monday that broke all utility usage records for San Diego. Therefore, at 5pm, our power went out.
At first I thought, ‘this will be okay’. No TV or internet means we’ll be able to get other things done, like Brad can study and I can clean and organize the house. Then I realized it would be getting dark soon and doing those things by candlelight won’t really work. So I figured I should get dinner going (on the gas stove top of course), but then remembered that it’s bad to open and close the fridge a lot during a power outage. Plus it’s about 80 degrees in the house- do I really need to make it hotter by cooking? Clearly, this is a sign to give me/Brad a break from my attempts at cooking.
So, just like in the old days - Brad went in search/hunt of food, while I created fire.
