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.

That's a good thought: I need to look into dried meats. Before, my plan was basically "when the big one hits, I'll drop my meat and cheese intake to whatever's in the backpacking meals". 'Cause I could. Now I need a better plan.

I also keep sacks of cashews and such in the freezer. They don't get rancid that way. Good source of protein and fats.

Heh, I recently pulled all my nuts OUT of the freezer to save space! :-) They can go back in soon!
