Lyme and the Earthquake Supplies

[cjsmith]

Like many Californians I've got some edibles tucked away in case of What If.

I've always had the luxury, before, of being able to eat things that are easily preserved. Grains. Pasta. Freezedrieds. More grains. Canned things. Emergency ration bars. A little jam. Lots more grains.

Not only is this not true any more, it's likely to be not true for a long time, measured in years. What I thought were my earthquake supplies are now clutter, and except for some basic stuff like the ability to purify water, I don't have earthquake supplies at all.

*sigh*

I hate this disease.

These are GREAT ideas. Thank you. Acidophilus, canned goods, any kind of chocolate that will keep, and lentils, lentils, lentils. I already have lots of dried beans. I can eat those, so that's a start. Foil-wrapped dinners are pricey but good for Day 1 when nobody knows what the heck is going on or how long it will last.

Chest freezer FOR THE WIN. Without power, one of those can be opened more times than a regular upright.

And o'course I need to spiff up the kitty supplies, too, now that Little Girl has a new special diet.
