younglisa, I sure don't agree with all these bail outs either. The bottom line is, we can't change a thing. The whole fiasco is out of our hands.

Hi GloryB,

With a sack of corn and some charred American oak your all set for bourbon.

Rice is as good as any dry staple. Its the storage that counts.

Shelf Life of Canned and Dry Foods by Robert Wayne Atkins, P.E. - Grandpappy

Dry Food ItemShelf Life Wheat, White Rice, and Corn30 years or more Pinto Beans, Apple Slices, Macaroni 30 years Rolled Oats, and Potato Flakes 30 years Powdered Milk 20 years

Dried fruit is also great.

You will need to keep vitamin C sources. During the siege of Leningrad they used pine needles for it. In early New England turnips often did the job. Without it, your immune system falls apart.

That was good.
