That's so kind of that lady visiting her mom to offer help.
Knowing how cold we feel here today makes me really feel for those of you in the worst of this chill.
Stay safe everyone

About the food, I went looking for information on food storage during a power outage, and everywhere I looked (FDA, CDC, several health Websites) I was told sternly that many dairy products (and other foods--there's a long list) should be tossed out if a power outage lasts more than 4 hours. So I'm hoping to be able to replace my milk, cheese, yogurt and eggs very soon. Butter is OK, and the good news is that frozen food is good for 24-48 hours, depending on how full the freezer is.
This food I'm tossing out may be OK but the rule is: "When in doubt, throw it out."
