dinner challenge caused by wind

Mar 15, 2026

I got up this morning and put a pork tenderloin in the crockpot with potatoes, carrots, and onions. It was already smelling GREAT in the house when the wind kicked up and the electricity went off.

And then I forgot to turn the crockpot back on. 🥴

Once the electric came back on, I didn’t even THINK about turning the crockpot back on. It was a couple hours later when I realized that my dinner was no longer cooking. It put me a couple hours behind but we had jelly beans!

jelly beans and candles

Candles lit and ready for the awful weather that’s supposed to make it here around midnight or so.

Ugly weather makes me nervous.

I’ve never been a fan of wind and I have to admit, not once at the Seymour house did we worry about it. That house is all brick and you couldn’t even hear the wind blowing outside. Sitting here surrounded by metal and trees, the sounds when it storms are not something easily ignored.

Here’s hoping everyone is safe!


Now you know: Taylor Swift sends flowers to Kelly Clarkson after every “Taylor’s Version” album re-release to thank her for suggesting that Taylor “go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on”. At the time, Taylor was upset that the masters of her first 6 albums were sold to a third party.
