hurricane party meals

[Franchesca]

If there is no power, I'll eat junk food: chips, cookies, cereal, poptarts, donuts, anything that doesn't involve a stove, or grill, or microwave (although i live off of the microwave j/k).

Anyway, if there is power I'll eat normal food - what my mom or sister cooks (can't tell you because our power hasn't gone out yet!)

I was asking this for a certain reason. We were getting ready for this next storm and I wanted some ideas of what everyone else does. We can't just eat junk food because the power could be out for a week or two. Its like being in the 18th century.

when my power was out last week, we'd make a trip up to the grocery store each day, and grill whatever we bought on a small charcoal grill. obviously, this'd only work if you are near a grocery store with power...otherwise, lots of PBJs, and bowls of cold Campbell's soup.

when theres a hurricane i eat the same things i do every day, because i live in connecticut and nothing interesting ever happens here.

During Frances, my dad had a small grill, and we ate very well!! We had chicken the first night, the leftover chicken and pork the second night, shrimp in the morning. We boiled eggs (kinda!), and if we would have had another night before we left, we would have eaten fried spam, or so my dad says (i sure hope he was kidding!!). A neighbor from the cul-de-sac came over with hot dogs and english muffins wondering if we had any propane that they could borrow. we gave them a good meal, chicken and a salad.

(my only problem with all of that is that i don't like chicken!!)
