Living on Food Storage

food_storage_in_april_cxf1

PREPARED??

Isn’t this impressive??

Notice the 72hr pks over there to the right.

This is my D.R.E.A.M storage area!!!!

 

The bishop issued a challenge to all of the Bullard Ward members yesterday.  He wants us to live on our food storage for two weeks!!  We are also to keep a journal documenting the amount of water we consume or use .  He wants us to stay away from the grocery store and only use what we have.  That means not go out to eat. Yikes!! There was no warning to prepare us for this challenge. I was thinking in my mind okay……okay…….what do I have on hand such as milk, eggs, bread, butter, vegetables and fruits.  We went home and started looking in the fridge, pantry and all three freezers.  I was terrified!! I was loosing it!! Then,  Michael, calmed me down and picked me up off of the floor, reassuring me that we would be okay and have plenty of food to make it. I knew that we could do one week……. No problem, but two weeks???? We got together and planned a menu for each day and I started seeing the light.  However, talk to me in the middle of the second week and see how I’m feeling about this challenge. Haha!!
