Yesterday some powerful storms blew through middle Tennessee. I don’t know if it was officially labeled as a tornado, but let’s just say that I saw a large metal piece of the roof from the building next to mine blow off like it was tissue paper.
A few hours later, when I crawled out of the company basement and ventured home, my power was out.
Yes, I’d say this qualifies as trouble.
But a girl’s still got to eat! I decided to make my perfect, simple spring salad since I had all the fixings and a salad doesn’t require and form of heat.
I was very careful while slicing & dicing by candlelight.
Found the tomatoes thanks to my trusty flashlight!
My friend and coworker Leigh Ann was in the same predicament, and we were texting throughout the ordeal. The woman is resourceful! Her caption for this photo: “Where there’s a will there’s a way.”
Her soup grilling efforts are very impressive! If I ever decide to travel down the Oregon trail in a wagon, I’m taking Leigh Ann with me. You know, as long as there’s a gas grill loaded in the back of the wagon too.
