Sorry for the lapse in updates...I've had "complaints". LOL! Sorry Amber! So on the 6th day we got 6 microwave popcorn bags and 6 cans of root beer. On the 7th day we got 7 chocolate covered pretzel rods (mommy got 2 yummy!). On the 8th day we got one of those Livesavers books with 8 rolls of candy. Tonight we got....Phase 10. The kids love that game and the cards seem to always go missing so we actually needed a new set. :) The kids are in heaven. :)
So this weekend...the stake's dry pack canner got put to some good use. For those not in my stake...about a year or two ago the stake Relief Society bought a machine that seals the #10 cans. Last year I bought a pallet of empty #10 cans (about 500). We've made some runs to the church cannery for the ward but hadn't really used a whole bunch of them. Well...a week or two ago we got a dispersement from Billy's school and went shopping at Sam's Club. We had a ton of food but here in this town there is an excess of bugs. This means it can't stay in the original packaging or it will be nasty when we want to eat it. Luckily the stake RS president is in our ward and doesn't live far so I borrowed the canner. We canned beans, rice, pasta, oatmeal, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, baking soda, corn starch, feminine products...whew! In case of emergency...come to our house! We're stocked. In case you were wondering...you can fit a month's worth of feminine products in one #10 can and have an assortment of things. We also put a couple of card games and bandages in one. Who knows? Maybe we'll have a flood. LOL! Anyway...we just wanted to be able to use it instead of paying for it and then getting bugs....and Billy wants the cans used up. :) It took hours to do all of that but our food storage looks pretty good.
