Monday MeMe
1. Do you have a particular meal-in-a-pinch? Something you always have on hand that can be whipped up at the last minute? I always make pancakes in-a-pinch. I have a yummy recipe my family makes...easy when all you have left in the house are eggs, milk, and flour. HA HA HA.
2. Do you have a Emergency Kit for when and if the electricity goes out?What is in it? And where do you keep it? Once a year the electricty seems to go out during the winter up here in the mountains. Last year it was for two days and we were trapped in our neighborhood with no way in or out. We have a closet fully stocked with all camping equipment, lanterns that use batteries and others that use gas propane. We camp a lot so we always have tons of replacement batteries. I also have an oil lantern like the ones you got for Mother's Day...Very helpful! We cooked on our camping stove in the garage and made lots of hot coco. We bundled up the kids and snuggled under our down comforter. We are seriously of thinking about getting a nonelectric heater for this winter!
3. Do you save water? Where and how do you store it? How much? I have a cool box water system that has a water bags that hold water and stored in stackable boxes. Together they hold about 25 gallon ofwater, not much, but it's a start.
4. you know how to change a tire on your car? Yup, I have had the pervilage of changing a tire, not fun!
