Hair nets and tin cans...........


So today Chris and I got the chance to go to the cannery for the first time. I guess we decided that in an emergency situation our families are clearly too far away for us to live off of their food storage, so it was about time we start building our own. It's not much, but at least we have a start.

One of the cannery leaders sealed up an empty can and offered it to us, saying that it made a great bank account because you can't get into it without a can opener. I told him I didn't want it because I have enough money that I can't get a hold of. Chris and I did contemplate taking it for a storage place for all the loan statements that we keep getting in the mail though.......

Now I just have to figure out what meals I can make with macaroni/spaghetti noodles, powdered milk, sugar, flour, beans, and wheat....add all those up and you don't have much flavor do you??

That is so good of you guys to get some food storage. We have a little bit but not much. I just wish it didn't cost so much. We love you and miss you lots.

Look at you go! (This is one of the few times that phrase is acceptable, mind you - NOT when I have a faceful of my Christmas breakfast!) I'm VERY impressed! You've got more flavor than we do - I think all we have...gosh, I can't even remember what's in our cans right now. Nice...
