These are great for rice, pasta, beans, flour, etc.<BR/><BR/>2) In general, anything you get in a large bag (10 pound plus) needs to be put in a hard container that seals. Flour is best in a lined 5 gallon bucket with a removable lid. Then you can scoop it. <BR/><BR/>3) California is earthquake country. Make sure you have a camp stove, fuel, and a lot of bottled water in an accessible place. Remember Katrina.<BR/><BR/>4) If you buy food in bulk, which we do, label the containers with what it is and when you bought it. If you buy caes of canned goods (tuna, etc) date them too.<BR/><BR/>5) When you shop in bulk, especially for baking, you may want to get a stock of things like dried eggs, sugars and yeast. Honey is good too, if you like honey wheat bread.<BR/><BR/>6) Homemade pasta is yummy, but time consuming. Still, garlic egg noodles are the bomb.<BR/><BR/>7) If you like making batches of split pea soup with ham, try stocking canned 1 pound hams. They are perfect for a couple gallons of split pea.Ravan Asterishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971890629927800267noreply@blogger.com
