I have a recipe for goat curry I'm trying tonight.

Power has been off since Saturday night. Battery banks down to 38% late Wednesday. No sunlight either. 

Trying to save the meat in our deep freezer. Spent two hours and 80 bucks getting an old 2kv generator going that was under the house and unused for the past 3 years. Old fuel, rooted plug, bad oil.

Got it running (albeit poorly) to freeze again. Temp in the freezer was -24c on Saturday night. Meat still mostly rock solid today. Top bits were beginning to thaw.

4 hours of power and rock hard again at 24c.

So I made the youngest walk down to the grocery store (with its own huge backup diesel generator) and fetch a hot chicken, tomato, and avocado. Wraps it was and wraps for lunch tomorrow too.

I didn't feel like cooking.

I did a little cauliflower and other roast vegetables creamy soup.

It had roasted celery, onions, carrots, and potatoes in it... besides the half head of cauliflower...

It was ace... added in some sour cream at the end and some old iceberg lettuce, besides spices..

A clear 8/10 on the soup Richter scale.

So my kid took leftovers,
into school and got mocked.

She made the mistake of saying her soup had lettuce in it.

These 11-12 year old kids would be too lucky to eat a veg twice per week.

But they attacked her for lettuce in a soup.

My kid loves eating any and all veggies...

It made me want to punch their parents in the face.
