A norther is on the way and it will greatly moderate the heat we have experienced over the past week. It is a preview of what is to come, with greater and greater frequency as August fades into September. I like seasonal change. I rather enjoy the seasonal temperature roller coaster.
I have actually begun to stock the foods I want to rely on this winter. I'm looking for easy storage and long shelf life, and solid nutrition, and easy preparation. Nothing complicated. There will be fish in this diet but not much else in the way of "meat". Unless I decide to buy beef jerky. I might do that. Grains! Cereals! Nuts! Dried fruit! Powdered whole milk! High protein pasta! I have plenty of rice and lentils, plenty of spices and seasonings, plenty of olive oil and canola oil and sesame oil. Plenty of flour and corn meal. Plenty of Asian chili paste! Canned tomatoes and tomato sauce! Canned mushrooms! And so on. Oh, yes, canned red beans, for these make a wonderful vegetarian chili. And so on. I want a well-stocked survivalist pantry. Oh yes, dehydrated potatoes! And so on. Pretend it is WWIII, wheee, for it might well beeee!
