For a second, just now, I thought that I had time to make some rice. Then I remembered that I don´t have gas. I can´t make a fried or scrambled egg either

I have crackers, salame, cheese and olives. I will have to eat that. I might also have some sardines. We´ll see. I remember that many years ago I saw a beautiful movie about how mankind had changed because they discovered how to make fire. It was awesome. I now remembered that movie while thinking what to eat that would NOT need fire.

I would not even dare make a fire in the barbecue that´s in the garage. With regard of barbecues, I´m not a feminist at all. Men should make the fire and cook the meat and women should make the salads and fill the men´s glasses with whatever they want to drink

@celticeagle There are several kinds of equality. I would not let my husband wash dishes but he had to bent to the most incredible places after a party to fetch a hidden glass or a dirty ashtray (in the time where people smoked inside the houses).

We used bottled propane on the farm when I was growing up that mom used to cook with in the house. We also had a huge cast iron stove we used to heat the house that mom built wood fires in... She cooked on the heating stove when we ran out of propane a few times. We kids thought it was weird seeing mom cook on a wood burning stove.

I saw those iron stoves when I was a child. They are still used in the country here, specially in the south in winter because it helps keep the house warm.

@DaddyEvil I saw one a few years ago in a country house that belonged to one of my aunt´s brothers. They cooked with gas but made the empanadas at the other stove.

You could indeed make a fire Marguicha and even dance around it.

When the electricity goes off, I always think it would be a good time to do the ironing but of course I can't!

Why don't you buy one of those small electric stove just in case you run out of gas? I bought when they warned about possible gas problems because of Russia/Ukraine war. It is very small, I place on the counter top, I only paid it $ 25.

@LadyDuck I´m too lazy to do that. That´s why I have all the electric gadgets that I use more on the countertop. My mom kept all of them in their orogonal boxes. If I did that I would have never used them.

@Adie04 Everyone should listen to their bodies. I understand. You are wise. I myself don´t place the bubbling water in the fridge and have to thaw ice cream a bit before eating it.

@marguicha Maybe my body is sensitive, because if I eat cold during cough, my cough and flu will get worse.
