Beginning August 1st Doug and I decided to see if we could live off our food storage for one month. We will not be going to the store for 30 days. If I run out of bread I will be making bread from scratch. Any snacks etc will also be homemade. I will be making morning moo when we run out of milk. It will be interesting to see what happens.
It has been 5 days now. We are doing pretty good. Not starving, in fact eating better. A good friend of mine keeps sending food over. She is so sweet. It makes me believe that when things really do get tough, people will help each other. It's been a good experience so far.
It's weird how you think of food when you have to live on what you have. I am very conscious of wasting food. I do not leave fruit on the counter anymore, it stays in the fridge so it will last longer. I am more conscious of the garden too and whats growing there and what to make with what I can harvest. My garden is not doing very good this year, so it's a good thing I don't really have to depend on it for my survival.
This is an experiment, we will not starve. It's just a test to see how we do if we cannot go to the store anymore.
