With the wierd weather this year, and the Farmers Almanac predicting BLIZZARD for this area...whats everyone stocking THIER pantries with?? Or are you stocking up at all??? We live about 10 minutes from town..and if there is a large snow....we wont get to town at all.
We are getting ready for the winter weather. Got the wood stove put in FINALLY...wood split and ready seasoned...For the pantry....5 or 6 cans of stew meat, tuna, salmon...10 each of...canned potatoes, green beans,carrotts, peas,corn, tomato paste, beats, chili beans, red beans....I canned our tomatoes..so have plenty of those. Canned milk..and powdered milk, plenty coffee and creamer, and filters....Oh, dont forget the TP..LOL...backup bags of dog food, and of course chicken feed....several cans of soup ( like 15 or 20)...10 pounds of each flour, ( regular and self riseing) sugar. ..and LOTS of different pastas...and dry beans. Home canned peaches,( about 10 quarts) several( like 30 pints) of home made jams and jellies. Dont forget the yeast, for breads...and the vegetable oil ( 4 of those plus a can of lard) We have 4 Kerosene lamps full, and 2 gallons of extra fluid...plus about 200 candles( I get them when they are on sale after Christmas for 10 cents each!) Do I plan ahead?? YOU BET!! I have been through ONE blizzard...in 78...NOT FUN! We are stocked and ready...I say....bring it on! LOL
Oh...and we have a LONG rope, that reaches from the house to the coop...and a wood stove out in the shop ( coope is connected to the shop) in case we need to use it as well.
