I finally get to use my Y2K stash...

You should have used it up or donated it by now. Turn-over is important in stored food. Alternate Thursday nights are storage food rotation nights. Some are good, some, they hate. But they eat. grin!

This reminds me of when my mom started in earnest doing food storage while I was growing up. TVP was the big thing back in the seventies. Textured Vegetable Protein. She bought enough TVP for a family of ten for a year!!! Lasts forever. Smells to high heaven. She made a meatloaf out of it the first night, we all took one bite, and wouldn't go near it after that. My dad is kinder, he ate a portion of it. No matter how she tried to disguise the stuff, we kids would always figure out what it was and not eat it. They finally threw away a 360 day supply of TVP. Moral of the story: Store what you eat, and eat what you store.

Oh, some things like spam and tuna last a long time. I think we will be getting to the bottom of the Y2K spam pile sometime in 2003.

We've been eating from our supply and replenishing for 2 years now. My kids don't know what white bread is - we grind the wheat and bake it - whole wheat bread is all we eat. Whole wheat pancakes & waffles, whole wheat cake, brownies and cinnamon rolls (my wife's cinnamon rolls are worth dying for). We buy hardly any canned food and next to NO pre-prepared, frozen food.

Not only do you have to get used to the taste, you have to get used to what whole wheat will do to your digestive system. People who have their food supply and don't learn to eat it, cook it, and digest it will be truly sorry when they have to.
