Which brings us to Wednesday. Still. No. Power.
Tired of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and still afraid to open the refrigerator for more than 2 seconds, I decided to try and use the outdoor gas grill as a sort of stove top. Ever tried to boil water on a propane grill? Boiling water for coffee that morning should have been my tip off that it really wasn’t going to work. I also made some passable scrambled eggs which my daughter asked for then wouldn’t eat. Ah parenthood.
Compared to the day before, Wednesday was pretty uneventful. The neighborhood kids played. I pretended to clean things. Lunch rolls around and the kids want mac and cheese. Anybody care to take a guess at how long it takes to make mac and cheese on a gas grill?
Heck, I’ll even make it a contest. Haven’t had one in ages and I’m sure I missed some blogversary somewhere. So yeah, leave your guess in the comments and I will have one of the urchins randomly select from the correct answers. May as well have some fun this week. 🙂

I’ll go for a whopping 1.5 hours. Though I don’t know how you would have had the patience to wait that long. I would have tossed the hat in at 45 mins.

I’m going to guess 50 minutes. Sounds like too much of a hassle to me 😉

I’ll go low, 38 minutes. Hey, what a horrible, no good, very bad week that you are taking on with your usual spiritedness! I certainly hope the power is on soon! I can’t believe you’re dealing with this while recovering. Ughhh!

I would say that it would take forever, because I can’t see how you would keep the little piecesof macaroni from falling through the grill….
