I am working on egg free recipes in preparation for visitors who are vegetarian. This egg free caramel ice cream was an experiment that worked out quite well in my opinion.
Head straight on to the Recipe For Egg Free Caramel Ice Cream ♥
In 2008 the country experienced rolling blackouts. The load shedding was so bad that many people invested in alternative forms of supply. We have a friend who spent a lot of money on a generator. Once the power situation was resolved he forgot to run it each month. When we were once again plunged into darkness he discovered the generator no longer worked. He then installed a permanent solar solution which runs most of his household needs. During both of these periods we did not bother to make a plan. But then last year we had 3 days with no electricity. The first day was due to a failure at the substation. And the other days were because of the fire. Our power was restored the day after we borrowed a generator from a friend. This still did not encourage us to make a plan for alternate power.

But then the load shedding started up again. Dave and I went out and bought a UPS and hooked it up, ensuring that we have lights. There is a single light in the scullery, kitchen, lounge and under the walkway. We can basically see enough to cook and eat dinner. Which is really all that we need. We have gas to cook on and so all is good. Until last weekend. I had just got all of the ingredients ready for my egg free caramel ice cream when the power went off. And this was to set the tone for the entire weekend. We were without power for 2 and a half hours on Saturday and nearly 5 hours on Sunday. Thankfully it was during the day but it meant I could not get any recipe work done as everything I had planned on doing needed power.

Oh no! Three days without electricity? That is no good. What happens with the fridge and freezer?
Keep them closed 😉
Perfect for egg-free Christmas visitors!
Thank you!
Wow, that is unfortunate. Hope not too much damage. The ice cream looks delicious.

Thank you Amalia 🙂
The power outages are here to stay. We are upgrading our generator to a bigger one that comes on automatically. I told Terence that I won’t like in a country without power. He takes me quite seriously.
Does that mean you are considering leaving?

Thank you Heather 🙂
