New Project
My poor blog is going stale already after only 4 posts! So I gave it a little facelift to help motivate myself to visit something that is visually pleasing to me. Next, I think our little family is about to undergo an experiment... Starting in February, we are not going to buy any food for a month! WHAT??!! Yeah, it sounds a little crazy to me, too, and it was MY idea!
The goal is to live one month on food storage (yes, the shortest month in the calendar). Crazy, yes, but I got to thinking that maybe it would be a good practice run. I mean, what would happen if the crazies running this country drove it into the ditch next week? (I know - that's not sounding very hypothetical these days) Yeah, we have food storage out in our garage in perfect little boxes with pretty little labels, but we don't actually rotate it into our regular fare as we should. So, it's time for an extreme makeover. Yup. Masochistic? Nah...
So, we've got about 10 days to prepare for this little adventure, and there are rules to the preparations we are going to be allowed to undertake. No, I won't be stocking up on all of our favorites and perishables beforehand, as tempting as that sounds. We won't just use our "in house" storage all month, either. I have enough canned and boxed foods inside the house to get us by for a month, but that would be cheating! We're gonna pretend that we have to make it last a lot longer and force the garage storage into our daily diets!
Cheerleaders are welcome! Advice, too! I plan on posting a couple of times leading up to the big experiment, and almost daily during the month. So check back and cheer us on!
