I have been saving the actual article for a few years, and decided I wanted to share it with my FB friends, but couldn't figure out how they were going to read my copy from a photo scan! So, hopefully it's ok that I posted a link to your blog directly to this story.

We have a little chest freezer, but for about 1/2 the year I don't have it plugged in. I'm planning to can more this year.

I'll check to see if our local library carries the book.<br /><br />I know that we virtually always have way more food supply for our family than a store carries. And that is without a big freezer full of stuff.

It opened my eyes to how unprepared most people (us included) are for the unexpected. Grocery stores have about 3 days of food supplies?! Yikes!
