⭐ Kiki's Year Long 🌶️

We always have enough to last a few weeks or more. Always.

I couldn't believe how many people I saw today acting like they had completely empty pantries at home.

I grew up with a pantry that was always a full... Overflowing full. It's just normal for me. I don't understand how people don't keep extra food laying around.

yeah that stuff annoys me too......i know it was mentioned that perishables could be stored outside if cold, but in your case, the temps will be back up by sunday or so and then where are they going to put it???
I keep enough and buy only as much as I need at regular intervals. The hoarding that occurs in emergency situations and during all of 2020 as well as being forced to purchase in larger than necessary quantities really annoys me!!!

I admit to nothing.

Raspberry flavored? Apple, maybe?

The wood stove is going like crazy right now and it’s a million degrees up here I might go back downstairs.

I think a lot of families don't cook meals regularly--buy takeout or grab prepackaged food to reheat. They have nothing in pantry or fridge to make a meal from scratch, so have to scramble when disaster hits

I'm less in danger of boring meals now that I have the quail. That means I can have fresh eggs, at least.

I know what you mean about eating/ordering out all the time, though. My roommate is just starting to learn some basic cooking from me. Her pet's idea of cooking is taking a box of pasta, boiling it, then throwing a bottle of store bought pesto sauce over it.

when both partners work, it is a challenge to meal plan.

yes but my theory on those type of people would be to buy foods that can be heated/cooked, eaten, and stored without power......ie canned foods, peanut butter........not meat, eggs, milk, etc.

Just for the record then ill leave it alone. I dont prep for end of the world stuff. I prep for realistic situations like a hurricane which I might add crossovers to pandemic and freeze prep rather well. I actually had n95 masks from work I had stored incase of hurricane aftermath clean up. I was able to provide for my family and my co works when nobody could get them. The average outage will be 72hrs. Can and will they be longer yes prep for it. I dont care what anyone says but not having to go out in the craze to buy the crumbs that might be left after everything is picked over or not having to wait in a gas line is nice. While people are flipping im chilling in my home knowing my immediate family is safe and out of the chaos. Its weird how the very ones to say something about prepping like its weird or they will be fine without are the very same ones knocking on your door in a time of need. I don't broadcast what I do. The less that is known the better.

I can relate. Hoping my comment wasn't taken as poking fun. I also backed it up with a DM.

Glad you and yours are covered.

I make a pot of something and then eat it for almost every meal for a week or two.

I almost never make complete meals. The closest that I come to a complete meal is a steak and a baked potato.

My version of easy is to boil some spaghetti and melt cheddar cheese on it or boil some wide noodles and make Golden Mushroom Gravy from a can of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup to pour over the noodles. Another one is to coop some rice and mix in a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup straight.
