I have been stocking large quantites of beans, rice, wheat and dry pastas. It's not hard to come up with pretty tasty meals with these staples...just make a trip to any dollar store that stocks spices, canned meats and/or dry sauces and gravies. Try different combinations of spices and meats. Make sure you check the expiration dates, though, and I don't buy any food packed in China.rufus475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849295687305547598.post-80536144537335062132008-01-31T14:23:00.000-07:002008-01-31T14:23:00.000-07:00You've <B>positively</B> got to get some variety. My wife and I have pinto, kidney, garbanzo, navy, lima, and several other types stored, as well as lentils, and split peas. I don't want to go taste-bud crazy!J.

I was interested in hearing the end of that previous post. I think stocking up on items to make staples interesting is vastly underrated. A dab of peanut butter or jelly greatly improves white bread. A bit of terriaki or soy sauce adds something to rice.theotherryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849295687305547598.post-71898506648300643122008-01-31T05:02:00.000-07:002008-01-31T05:02:00.000-07:00Great blog. I really enjoy reading about your off-grid preparations.<BR/><BR/>If you have the time, could you write an article about how you prepare the beans?<BR/><BR/>-- CRJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
