Good night you all, looks like we got away with it this time here in So Fla.
I imagine Kevin may well be without electricity by now.
However, I think his cell ought to work for the time being, just heard Max Mayfield say he was talking to another meteorologist by cell phone at 11 PM.
Thanks for the updates!
Sigh...
Well, Steve grilled a bunch of chicken leg quarters, like he does every weekend...
When we started to eat, we found some had not gotten done. "No worries!" says I, "I'll just microwave it!" Steve kinda scowled...he doesn't like microwaved food. But I said "Now the cupcakes for Matthew's birthday turned out fine, and this chicken already has the great grilled flavor...this will just make them a bit more done."
Then I got to talking about how if I'd only kept our old "free standing" gas range, we coulda connected it out in the garage (there's a gas outlet out there) and I coulda used that when our oven broke! Anyway, we'd sold it in a garage sale. "Can't keep everything!" says I, "But I'm glad I still have my old microwave in case anything happens to this one!"
Then I laughed and said "I better hush before I jinx it!"
That's when I noticed that after 5 minutes of microwaving the chicken on high...it wasn't sizzling.
I took it out and it was barely warm...the same temperature it was when I put it in.
I tried another 5 minutes...nothing.
I tried melting a bit of butter...nothing.
It doesn't warm at all. So our dryer is out, our oven is out, and our microwave is out.
Well, I'm glad I still have my old microwave!
Oh, and right before we sat down to eat (and before we realized some of the chicken didn't get done), I had warmed up Joshua's corn for him...so it worked before I tried to warm up the chicken.
