Butter--yum!



Ok, so it's not the end of the world, yet. But it will be here at some point, and Mike & I finally decided we better get our food storage already. Lucky for me Mike's family is totally gung-ho on the whole food storage thing, and I can benefit from their knowledge. We are trying to not get to extreme about it, no dooms-dayers here, we just want to have things in case of an emergency. I hope to not have to EVER use my wheat grinder, but am glad to know I have one now. A few weeks ago we canned butter. You heard me right--it is supposed to last a few years this way, on the shelf! Good to know we'll have something to put on all that wheat bread we'll have. It was a fun experience, we made 12 pounds! You may laugh, but you'll be coming to me for butter, just you wait!!

I will be coming for more than that. Besides, since we live in hurricane alley, we may have to evacuate up there when the storm comes in...

And you really should cover up your boy when he's outside. I would recommend even a t-shirt. I have scars on my shoulders from sunburns I have had. Word from the wise.

How in the world do you can butter? maybe you need to edjumacate me on that one. You can't have homemade bread without butter! I have been gung ho on the food storage lately and finally got some wheat, kind of a miracle but atleast we got it. So let me know how it turns out.
