Last night as I planned on fixing chicken alfredo. I placed a pot of water on the stove to boil with just a splash of olive oil and bit of sea salt. Then in my big pan, started cooking my chicken. I'm SOOOO glad I bought the thin sliced chicken strips for this meal! As the chicken cooked, was almost completely done actually, the power went out! There was still heat on the stove so I stirred the chicken to finish the cooking process. As the last of the heat left the pan I made my husband bring me my phone (it's got a flashlight) so I could look at the chicken. It was all cooked! He then asked what I planned to do if the power didn't come on soon. To my own surprise I said "we can have chicken tacos or wraps". We both were kind of impressed with how quickly I said that. We waited for the power to come on for 30 minutes but nothing, so with a bit of mayo (for my husband, not me), lettuce, tomato, and a wee bit of shredded cheese we had chicken wraps. I'm glad I keep tortillas on hand at all times!
The moral of this story: always have a backup of what you can do with what you're cooking in case of power outages, especially on nights where you have heavy rain or severe storms.
