Just call me Mrs. MacGyver.

Sugarbutts!  Oh how I've missed you guys!  And I'm sure you guys missed me too.  Well since we've last spoken I and my gluttonous self have survived a HURRICANE!  Yes, Hurricane Irene got a hold of the entire chain of Bahama Islands leaving some more devastated than others.  But praise God there were no lives lost!  

Now, I know what you all are thinking, "What did you eat Nahds?"  Sigh.  You guys know me.  I like the good stuff.  The fancy meals.  The ones that take 24 hours to produce just so I can say I made it from scratch.  Well Hurricane Irene had other plans for me.  You see I am the proud owner of a super fancy gas stove.  Well, it's not that fancy, but it's nice.  You see unlike many other gas stoves, it's also electrical.  Yeahhhhh, real fancy huh?  So anyway, in order to use the oven you need electricity.  We had none...wait let me correct that, we HAVE none (screw you in the nostril due to loss of power Bahamas Electricity Cooperation!).  So during this entire, traumatic, hurricane-al ordeal I had no use of the oven.  That only left me to get creative with the stove.  Oh and there were no perishables b/c there would be no electricity and well I think you see where this is going.


So yesterday at about 1:40pm made it 12 hours without electricity and as usual I was hungry.  And if I ate one more bite of rice I thought I would expire.  So,  I did what 90's television star MacGyver would do.  I had taco shells, onions, jalapenos in a jar, tomatoes, limes and dried cilantro.  What do you think I made?????  OMG Hot Stuffs!  You're right!  Salsa it was!  No tortillas?  No problemo!  I broke those Old El Paso taco shells in half and cooked them in a pan on my fancy gas stove top until they were crisp.  Then I broke them up all rustic-like and WHAZAM.....chips and salsa.  My hubbers said it was delicious.  Then he said, "Nahds, I swear, we will never go hungry.  You like MacGyver in the kitchen dread!"  And then I thought, yeah, yeah you're right.  I AM pretty awesome. 


After that we watched "The Lovely Bones" and I wished the electricity was back on so I could inquire about whom I needed to contact to get 90 mins. of my life back after watching that crap.  Seriously it was pretty dumb.  I'm not excited to go back home because lots and lots and lots of canned tuna and rice awaits me and well I'm not too cool with that but I'll see what I can do, because I am you know, Mrs. MacGyver.   Can't wait to tell you guys about my next restaurant venture!  I've already picked out what I'm gonna wear and everything!  Ok, ok, I'm gone, for real.
