It's freezing outside, but my freezer's not working. . .
I was happily blogging about cooking all day to stock the freezer, and what happens? Storm of the century (so far), ice two inches thick on the trees, and a power line a couple of houses down from ours falls down, sending sparks all over the street.
So our house was plunged into darkness and cold. We thought about lights first, then heat, and it didn't occur to me for awhile that all my adorable little chicken pot pies were cut off from their electrically-generated cold. It's been about 40 hours now. I checked them this morning, and most of the things in my refrigerator freezer (it's a bottom freezer) were still solid, though the bag of blueberries that we picked out in the burning sun in July were starting to get soft.
The food in the downstairs deep freeze seems as frozen as ever.
I would cry most over all those local berries and fruit and corn and tomato sauce that I put away last summer. If our oven worked, we could eat the pot pies for dinner. . .
I guess I could unload everything and take it outside, but I think I'd rather keep my fingers crossed that Duke gets to us soon. Here's a link for good information about what to do in this situation: http://ohioline.osu.edu/home/freezer.html
