A couple of weeks before, Hydro left a message telling the people in Haliburton that there would be a scheduled power-outage on sunday from 6 am until 11 pm. You really don't think about power until you realize it won't be there - dragging buckets up from the lake for the toilet, cooking, and in the morning - the most important question of them all - HOW WILL I MAKE COFFEE??????
I had the genius idea to set the coffee maker to before 6 am so we could just heat it up, the rest was a bit of an experiment. It wasn't as though we could just go out for breakfast, as this was a power-outage for everyone, including restaurants. Of course once i had the coffee issue under control i took the rest as a challenge.
Visiting the grocery store i bought some of those aluminum sheets for the bottom of the oven and thought i would put it onto the bbq to make something of a griddle. Beyond the basic bacon and eggs, i used a bunch of the leftovers from the Hot Water and Steak Dinner to round out the breakfast. I combined the fiddleheads, potatoes and mushrooms to make a hash and fried them with a little bacon juice. I also served some of the remaining steak and a salmon we had poached the night before.
