Fresh hell continues with a bad wind storm yesterday with the result of our having to shuffle blindly through the house because the electricity went off. I think it pained me more because it was during my best tv show night...the only good tv so far this season on public television. I enjoy Poldark especially. I did get to see the last half hour of it since the electricity came back on but this morning I find candle wax all over the house. There is an especially bad spot on the kitchen floor and bending is a bit of a problem for both of us. I used really drippy candles it seems in several rooms, so we will be working on that throughout the day. It could have been worse, that's for sure, so I should count my blessings.
I've started on the fridge today. I had several make-ahead dishes to complete and now that our Thanksgiving table has shrunk to eight from 18, we will be eating well for several days. Well, I have a feeling it is going to get worse with the next announcement from our governor.
So, I am going to complete and freeze this slow cooker corn dish as a side for Thanksgiving. I've made it for the occasion before and it turned out that people really liked it. It has ricotta cheese in it. While I am not a fan of ricotta cheese, it works beautifully in this particular dish.
Yesterday's storm did not whip all the leaves off our trees, but it gave it a good try. Today is lovely so far. (I should not write this for fear the other shoe will drop...2020 is still here.)
