Thanks for the ping.

We bought a generator last week. We're ready!

Lucked into a great deal at Home Depot. We were out in the car, passing a Home Depot and hubby went in to check out the generators.

They were not only on sale, with no tax (tax holiday on hurricane supplies in Florida), but HD was also giving you the price of the tax as an extra discount.

All I wanted a generator for is so I can have my coffee made in my Farberwear Percolator in the AM, LOL!

Picked up a Vornado 510 air circulator to run off the solar bank when the electricity goes out. That little thing moves some air!

Glad you have a coffee backup plan this year :o)

$2.25 a can!

Wolfgang Puck introduced a new line of lattes this month. That the Los Angeles chef has stamped his name on yet another product isn't surprising. But the container is. It heats itself.

It took a California company named OnTech seven years and $24 million to create the self-heating cans, which are activated by pushing a plastic button on the bottom. Water flows into a sealed inner cone filled with quicklime, which is mostly calcium oxide. A chemical reaction heats the coffee to a pleasant 145 degrees in six to eight minutes, the amount of time it might take to order, pay for and receive a latte from a barista. 

I'd buy a case of this stuff!
