Cooking Without A Stove

One thing we all learned from Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Irene was resourcefulness and creativity.  I thought I would share with you how we cooked without our electric stove.

Day 1 - Breakfast

Monday morning, I was thinking about the food I needed to cook before it spoiled.  After my paper route, I went to work.


Pretty impressive, eh??  Carlos thought it was dumb to cook the sausages in a pan, so I ended up putting them on the grill.


I didn't have a percolator so we cooked some coffee on the grill.  (And yes, the eggs did end up hardboiled ☺)


I hate grinds in my coffee, so we strained the coffee.

The breakfast was good - a little cold because I had to wait for everything to cook - but good.

Carlos was so inspired by my wonderful breakfast that he cleaned up a gas grill I found for free.  He went out and bought a bottle of propane - and it worked like a charm ☺

I still had a 1/2 gallon of milk to use up in the warming fridge, so I decided to make pancakes and oatmeal on the big grill.  I put an old cookie sheet on the grill and cranked up the fire.





Day 2 - Lunch

Yummy Pesto Pizza!!!!  We used the old standby cookie sheet to make this yummy meal.


When I heated up the grill, I closed the lid.  Whew, that thing was like an oven!!!



Day 3 - Dinner

My dear friend Sarah invited us over for a wonderful time of  dinner and fellowship!!
