So, why did the power company change the “Expected restoration time” from 3:45 to 4:15 and then to 12:00 am (which means what, exactly?)?

(My wife said: because otherwise our life would be boring.)

Now it’s been changed to “6:00 pm” - what is this, a Microsoft file-copy time-remaining notifier?

Moved to 7pm then to 12am on the 25th - what does that mean? (No showers, no water, freezer continues to melt…)

Does it have screw mounts on the back? Did you know a lot of wifi routers have keyhole openings on the back so you can mount them to a wall?

So, am I crazy, or am I planning a monthly Supper Club for friends and family?

On a level from 1 to 11, considering there will be people with different dietary restrictions, is my crazy level? (Say 11, damnit SAY 11)

Can I say that your choices work well for vegetarians and vegans, as long as they’re willing to avoid a dish here or there? Isn’t that the mark of a true chef, to make the “side dishes” as interesting and flavorful as the animal protein course?
