Too rich for my blood- I just have a real phone in every room, and
keep a stack of the 'blue ice' things in the freezer. As long as it
isn't over 100 degrees out, and I severely limit my refrig open-door
time, I'm good for about 48 hours. If I think outage will be longer
than that, I put the stuff that will actually go bad quickly in a
small cooler, and put some of the blue ice in that. I can live with
the bread, mustard, fizzy water, and veggies getting warm. I do wish
I had a gas stove, though, like my last place had. And city water.


Mustard in the fridge?

How about ketchup?


Anything not in a sealed metal, glass, or thick-wall plastic container
lives in the fridge. (The better to not encourage small four-legged
guests.) Other than some (rather old at this point) Mickey D's packets
in the fridge box of leftover takeout condiments, I don't keep ketchup,
since I don't care for it. I barely use mustard anymore, for that
matter. Anyway, I hate the brown grunge on the outlet, and the
separation of the oil, when you store it warm.
