They sell sweetened condensed milk in shelf stable nifty resealable squeezable pouches now! Easier to manage and store than cans

I grew up in New England, so not many hurricanes for me. I lived in NYC during hurricane Sandy which was such a surreal experience. I ended up staying with my ex in Manhattan, where we ended up being basically trapped for 7 days. We were lucky that his building was very fancy and most of our friends would spend their days with us. We'd cook for each other and take turns taking hot showers (everything below like 23rd street didn't have power). I wasn't a salaried employee at the time, and thankfully so, as all the salaries chefs and cooks had to clean out the walk-ins. They described a similar horror show to your rancid ice cream experience. I've now moved from an infrequent hurricane city to a (minor) earthquake city which has been a learning curve for sure. I'm always fascinated to see this deep dives into the reasoning behind what to keep in a shelter in place kit, and as always you never disappoint in your descriptions 💖
