Last Thursday a nasty front rolled over (first Chicago) then over the lake and onto Kalamazoo. We experienced about 10 minutes of strong winds very heavy rain and then a 64 hour blackout. 300,000 homes in SW Mich were without power after the storm. We just had ours fixed this morning at about 10:30.This afternoon we did the purge of the fridge to clean out everything except bread and spices. At least all our condiments will be fresh and we won't have to have the "how old is the ketchup" conversation. Later we have to go and clean the basement freezer which has our stock of roasted Hatch green chiles. Good thing the harvest is still on so we can restock!!
