who helped us can our food storage. We were mild-moderately intimidated by getting our food storage. We didn't know what to do really but it was so easy! I'll take you through it step by step.
Step 1: Find hidden location of dry-pack cannery.
Step 2: Sign in and put on funny hat.
Step 3: Shake hands with service missionaries and do what they say.
Step 3.1: They told us to get a cart and put bags of rice on it. So we did (well, Whit did).
Step 3.2: They told us to open the bags and pour the rice into the cans. So we did. Well, Whit did.
Step 3.3: Seal the cans. (They helped). You can see the stacks of empty cans behind Whit - we didn't have to bring anything!Step 3.4: Put labels on cans. So we did. This is something I can do.
Step 3.5: Then they told us to clean up. And we did! Well...
And after 3 simple steps and 5 mini sub-steps that even people who can't walk can take (when they have their own "Whit"), we took home boxes of long-term storage food that now live in our office closet!
Now I just need to master rotating through it...
Cool Beans! Going to the dry pack cannery is a really fun date!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I did this one day too.
One of the ways I rotate my powdered milk is by making pudding out of it.
Mix in a good sized glass mixing bowl-
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
6 tbsp dry regular powdered milk
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups cool water
(Later add-
Butter and vanilla)
Whisk together.
Cook in microwave stirring every few minutes. In the beginning it needs to be stirred a little bit more so that the mixture will stay together as it begins to cook. Cook until thick. Then remove from microwave and add a chunk of butter and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla.
(If you are not ready to begin rotating your milk make with whole milk instead of the powdered milk and water. And leave the butter out too.) Yum!
hey great idea! I'm going to try this. Powdered milk gets so blah and even blah-er when it goes bad and this recipe will be awesome!
