Thank you Amy Dixon. He stayed away from the fudge today while he was cooking collards. He knows I will be on him, so he will be behaving his self.
You guys will never believe what my daughter did. She has 5 boxes of canned goods she had put in my grandson’s car to take to the dump. Now mind you some of the cans were way out of date but some were this years date. She will not cook for the 2 children though they are grown nor for her husband. She had all kinds of stuff in there. Though my grandson was carting it around in his car for about a week. And a couple of days where rather warm. I told him when he came over today to bring them into garage. So he did and I just about flipped out. Loads of can tomatoes, canned soups, veggies, all sorts of stuff. Even jars of peanut butter. Out of all that food and taken into account it had been in his car for a week. I still was able to go through and find a lot of stuff that was good and some still in date to the end of this year. Don’t know what her thinking is but a lot of that stuff she has bought over those few years is stuff none of them eat. But a lot of it was. So I am going to keep it in boxes as to what it is and keep it on the spare bed to use first. I have eating canned goods 3 years out of date and they were just as good as when I first bought things like it. I have a paper from the food bank on the dates of things and yes those dates mean nothing as far as the food being good. Out of date food for the most part is still very good. So I made out. We had just about finished eating the canned soups from 2 and 3 years ago and now we have another box of canned soups to eat from 2 and 3 years out of date. So will not be stocking any soups. She also sent over my canning jars from stuff she took home. Green beans, squash, soups I had made, etc. Grandson said she dumped the food out and washed the jars and told him to bring them to me. So next time she wants to take home food that I have canned for the winter months the answer will be no. He said that now there is hardly any food left in the house and he has nothing in there but cereal and stuff to make salad with. So now he is coming to my house to eat. His dad and sister have been eating out a lot. But then they work and have money to burn to eat out every night I guess. I think that whatever this schooling she is doing on line has something to do with saving the environment. As far as her work, she is a medical biller for a food company. She could go to the other side and make sure they treat the pigs right and slaughter them humanely. That is good but her preparing for really bad times has gone by the wayside. Grandson said only prepping being done is his father buying up ammo and more guns. Well I guess they can eat bullets because he doesn’t hunt or fish.
Amy, I am looking at making some boxes with wheels on them to make it easy to pull those boxes out when I need something. I saw something like it on pinterest. The boxes had low sides and then a couple of boards across middle for brace for heavy things. I also had a handle put on it to pull them out easy. I figure I could get at least 2 of them under each bed. And maybe 3 under the queen bed depending on size.
Granddaughter from CA will be back here about 5 or 5:30 so I will be back later to read some more of your post. Stay well everyone.
