I want the info on that. <br /><br />I have chocolate in my food storage, too. I did have butter canned at one time too. I should do that again.<br /><br />I recently became friends on FB with another SWA pilot's wife. When she saw I was LDS she immediately began asking me for food storage ideas. I was laughing because I have a lot more to learn about that. I have been thankful in times of unemployment that we've had some foods and other necessities stored though. It's not a good feeling to feel like you can't provide for your kids. tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-57973966017250334182013-03-13T17:56:35.671-06:002013-03-13T17:56:35.671-06:00What a worthwhile project.

I;m not gonna say that very loud because I don't want anyone local hearing me. In all actuality, they would never ask me to teach anything about this since my food storage belief's consist of stocking up on guns, ammo, liqour, tobacco and tampons.

It's just a law or something. I have a friend who had to support six kids and a husband on their two year food storage - and that was it. They got mighty tired of wheat, oats, and beans. She said her kids won't eat beans to this day. Do I have a storage? I can last till Tuesday.RoeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131723337404316867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-2993189132310722672013-03-13T06:53:59.829-06:002013-03-13T06:53:59.829-06:00I would have loved to come.
