Canned Goods
I decided to clean out my pantry this past weekend. As I tossed out, organized, and cleaned out the shelves, I came across my BIRD FLU shelf. Yep, bird flu shelf. Remember how we were supposed to stock our pantry with canned goods so that when the bird flu came through we would have enough food to eat for 5 weeks? You probably don't remember this warning ( I think it came from Oprah), but I followed though on it. I stocked up on canned soups, canned fruits, canned vegetable, pasta, spaghetti sauce, and rice. I am so obedient.
I have no idea where the bird flu is and whether or not it is coming, but I have decided to eat the food. I have a feeling that if I don't eat it now, it will just sit there for another ten years. I probably still have enough food if the bird flu strikes anyway. I didn't do any grocery shopping this week and started using all the frozen meats and canned goods I have stored up. Aside from not eating any fresh food this week, we have done just fine finding enough food for each meal.
