Yesterday was New Years Day..Seniors South Carolina Gamecocks won the "Outback Bowl" I am hoping Senior will tell us to get dressed so we can go to Outback Steakhouse for dinner, since the Gamecocks won, they are giving away free Bloomin Onions for today only.
And last night my Florida State Seminoles took it to the house against Northern Illinois. Who, in my mind had no idea even being at the Orange Bowl. So what ! they won their division but, It was said by the commentators they had the easiest schedule in College football. It also did not pay for their QB, a kid named Lynch to run his mouth about the Seminole Defense..they showed him what a real team is like. : )

Well yesterday we decided to move and reorganize our food storage. It is all now in my kitchen. It makes more sense for me to have it in there. I am working on putting up curtains in front of it as a panel.
We loaded everything in buckets, the super large cans the kids rolled across the floor. We stacked cans on the table, chairs and counter tops.
It took better part of the afternoon, but Under Seniors leadership he instructed us like a bunch of
" boots" and we got it done.
Of course this is only a portion, we don't like to keep our eggs in one basket of course. However, we are starting to get away from the heavy canned items, and now ordering dehydrated foods. In a bug out situation, it is lighter in weight and just makes more sense for us. We had a large number of canned things that would not have been eaten prior to the expiration date, so I went through everything and made a large donation to a local church's food bank. Of course they were extremely grateful. It was a win-win, I got rid of some things, made room for more, and helped a good cause all in one.

Your food storage looks great. Now, you know that the canned goods are still good after the "best by" date don't you? Don't let me discourage you from donating to a worthy cause...just wondering if you knew. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYes we know that. But honestly it was items that we would never go through, mainly canned peas, and black eyed peas..ick.
DeleteStill have all the good stuff, that every one likes. And now our focus is on dehydrated foods. Amazon has a nice selection.
Sounds like a new post!!!
DeleteGreat job !
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane!
DeleteNice job! After I have canned what I like, I will do the same thing & donate to whatever charity fits my fancy at that moment. Can't wait to get rid of that canned corned beef ...
ReplyDeleteI Love corned beef hash. I think that is what we do...buy what fits our fancy for the moment. I think I should start a preppers swap meet.
DeleteLooks like a lot of hard work, but worth the effort! Good too to sort through what would be expiring and give it to a good cause rather than have to throw it away after the fact.
ReplyDeletebetty
Yea those little old Methodist ladies loved seeing ny big bucket of cans. Donations have been really low for them.
DeleteYep, that's a win-win! :-) And all the churches are hurting...
ReplyDeletePeople have really cut back on giving.So nice that you were able to help!!
