Boiled chicken. But not going to try raw. My other dog was also allergic to chicken.

How do you guys store macaroni and egg noodles for long term?
We don’t eat either very often, and one bag of egg noodles often goes bad before we use it. To the point that I quit buying them and just started making them from scratch, when needed.

But hubby bought several packages since they were out the week before, and I had already ordered some. So now I have way more than we need - I’m on low carb.

Depends on the shape of the pasta/noodle....

Mostly....I use a large enough Mason jar, then vacuum seal....I also throw an 02 absorber into the jar, if I have them easily available.

Otherwise...say, for spaghetti and stronger noodles that won’t crush, I just vacuum seal (in the Seal n Vac bags). I’ve also kept some noodles/macaroni in tins....like a cookie tin, for example.

I also vacuum seal my pasta, although pasta is usually dates a few years out.

Don’t know about egg noodles as mr. mm doesn’t like them and won’t eat them, and I can’t.

Thanks. I thought about using some mason jars, but didn’t want to fill them up, unless I get some more.

I have quite a few mylar bags and O2 absorbers. I might try those.

just odd things out of stock for weeks - large gaps on the shelves where product used to be.

Same here in central Illinois. Zero pickles of any brand or type, zero jellies or jam any brand. Not necessities just this and that.

My cat Rascal loves Fancy Feast but that is hard to find. He’s 14 and on meds for the rest of his life due to hyperthyroidism and the heart damage it caused. He is on 4 meds now but back to his normal self running around. I ordered more liquid Lasix for him but it won’t be in until the end of the week so I might have the vet give me pills to crush in the interim to give it to him with water in the syringe. He almost died last month and it was hard finding ba vet with this Corony (my pet name) stuff going on. Because of this and my cat’s life, I curse everyone of these jokers involved with the Corony from Xi in Red China, to Fascist Fauchi, etc.

I just told the story of my kitty Rascal were it was hard getting him on to save his life. He has hyperthyroidism and needs meds for that and his heart but he’s doing OK now despite him almost dying. Because of all this going on, this is a concern of mine for him. It is personal with me. My anger and hatred with the current regime and the fraudsters and supporters would make the 100 million degrees at the center of the Tsar Bomba pale in comparison. People and pets are dying unnecessary because of it. I’m glad my cat’s life is saved but I’m still one mad panda.
