Today as I type this, it's January 6th. I haven't been to the store even once since then.
Today, as I was testing a new recipe and making a pizza pull-apart bread, I had the idea that maybe I should be documenting this on my food blog - even though I had previously pretty much decided this blog would just lay dormant and my kids, some friends and I could use it for all the go-to recipes posted since 2006.
So, a new chapter! One labeled "Living on 100% Food Storage!" Not how I intended to start 2024 but when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Or bread. Lots of bread. Because you've stocked a lot of flour and wheat berries over the past 12 years... and for that, you are eternally thankful.
It's been 6 weeks living on 100% food storage so far.
Let the posts on LOFS (living on food storage) begin.
Quick Background: I keep a well stocked pantry and freezers as a general rule. I also do a little bit of home canning (learned to pressure can during Covid in the Fall of 2020), and I've invested in long term food storage like freeze-dried foods and dehydrated foods since my first (didn't know what I was doing) purchase of some (gag) vegetarian imitation beef, chicken and ham in 2012. I improved my research, knowledge and purchases since then.
