I said a silent prayer of thanks for the fossil-fuel companies that provide the natural gas, nighttime electricity, and complex distribution systems that keep the furnaces going.
My church favors alternative energy produced by solar panels and windmills; unfortunately, these energy sources are currently too expensive and too underpowered when it's freezing outside.
Tonight was perfect for comfort food. We brought spaghetti and meatballs, a creamy kale and spinach casserole, and broiled potatoes. Bread, salad, and pumpkin pie comprised the rest of the dinner.
