Last night my apartment building had a blackout. Luckily, I had already used my stick blender to finish my vinaigrette. The wife walked in while I was monitoring the parmesan-crusted chicken breasts in the frying pan with a flashlight.
She looked around and said, "What's going on? Did you check the circuit breakers?"
I said, "I didn't have time to check the breakers or light candles, my chicken was already in the pan. I don't know what's going on, but dinner will be ready in 5 minutes."
Because I keep the flashlight right next to the stove, for just such an emergency.
