• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Storms moving through. We lost power. Since we have a well, we have no water. Thankfully we have a gas stove. But I can't see to prep food...

I sure know that feeling (not the loss of water, but the loss of power). I’m hoping it comes back on for you soon.

I just saw where a stray line of supercell storms went through Cuyahoga Falls earlier. I’m assuming that’s what knocked you out. Glad it wasn’t worse!

Yeah it can always be worse. This isn't too great but I can't see to cook...

I can't ever being without power here or our previous 3 places. We had threats of cuts but nothings here. When the lakes were low there was still enough. North Island is a different story as the south supplies a lot of electricity to them

Not cuts. Storms.

Thanks! Power came back on after midnight.

My husband likes potato chips with burgers if I'm not making French fries. I usually just eat the burger. I'm not a snacky type so I don't normally eat potato chips but I hadn't eaten since around 2 pm and it was a light bite, not even a meal, so I was pretty hungry by 10:30. I made a bowl of pasta with fettuccine using bottled water after that. It wasn't easy cooking in the dark with just a few candles lit. Pasta was a little gummy.
