I can watch for chicken on sale to can or can cheese sauce when supplies start to run halfway low. The garden produce is wonderful to can but it is only a part of my pantry. Always enjoy your posts! I'm thinking some buckets with gamma lids is a great idea.

And a gamma lid too for your bread flour! (which is parked in the corner of my kitchen) I'm paring through my stash, deciding what "appropriate levels" are. As well as the fact that I need to move the stuff near the furnace....I'm not sure the furnace guy will know what to make of it all when he puts in the new furnace and AC...(yup, actually being done ahead of time as its 25 years old and WILL quit working at the most inopportune moment when I'm not home....husband is not handy)<br /><br />I've been re-reading Granny Miller's post on her pantry storage and how she handles being an American Housewife, as opposed to a prepper. Sounds Aunt Bee-ish doesn't it?<br /><br />I'm trying my hand at livestock.....I have 10 quail out in the shed and they are starting to lay a few eggs. Every little bit of knowledge helps!<br /><br />(oh and if you see unsubscribes on your end, I did, but I'm changing emails!

Hubby is out ice-fishing right now with some buddies (hoping for a nice mess for the freezer!), so I unwittingly spent some (too much!) time in some prepper sites. After I realized how long I had been online, I went to the kitchen and did an inventory. <br /><br />I'm trying to shop just once a month, so finally recording how many cans, bags and jars we have of this that or the other thing will be so helpful in meal planning. At this point, I think we are good for a few months, although hubby may not be satisfied with all of the meals I have in mind.<br /><br />I so appreciate your blog. I lost my blogging mojo a while back and keep hoping I get it back again, because I truly enjoyed it. Thank you for keeping at it and for continuing to inspire and instruct.

Oh the joy of your having a new laptop. If you have your request in then it is just a matter of God's timing. <br /><br />Oh, here's something I was going to mention because you first recommended it. I have been using some nice dishsoap...fragrant and pleasant to use. There are times when I actually look forward to hanging out at the dishpan.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-86106210787320148022016-02-20T17:05:17.033-05:002016-02-20T17:05:17.033-05:00I've been thinking of doing a pantry post of m...I've been thinking of doing a pantry post of my own, as over this winter we have eaten from our pantry a few different weeks when we were stretching the budget. It has been a blessing. I've been reading at The Bluebirds Are Nesting and at A Working Pantry. Patsi has me wondering about whether I should cook the turkey I have in the freezer and then can it, so it wouldn't be spoiled or lost if the electricity went out. Thoughts? I kind of think that if it went out and we had to cook it, then it would get eaten up pretty quickly with this crew!<br /><br />Having staples stocked up this week I was able to get away with less than $60 for groceries!<br /><br />Thanks for all your great posts on this subject!Deanna Rabe - Creekside Cottage Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-72875413278308968862016-02-20T15:41:24.459-05:002016-02-20T15:41:24.459-05:00Phew!

I've not been in the shopping "mood" for quite awhile and have been drawing from our shelves. Probably a good thing, since I've not been so conscientious about watching expiration dates, etc.<br />rebeccahttp://lifeandgodliness-rebecca.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
