Food Storage for a New Millennium

This Month’s LDS Monthly Plan to Acquire Food Storage and 72-Hour Kit in One Year (with Monthly Goals)
===========================================================================

"Let every head of household see to it that he has on hand enough food and clothing and, where possible, fuel also for at least a year." J.  Rueben Clark 1937

Spiritual Goal---Hold FHE every Monday for one month

Provident Living Goal---review your retirement goals.  Are you putting enough aside to be able to support yourselves and to do the things you want to do when you retire?  Also change the batteries in your smoke alarms.

Storage Goal:
24 cans of meat or fish per person
1 gallon bleach per person
can opener
garbage bags
laundry detergent

72 hour kit:
Gather a change of clothing including underwear and shoes for each family member--include warm coats and boots, or have them immediately accessible.

This Month’s Cooking with Food Storage Ideas:
===========================================

Baked Tuna Sandwiches
-------------------------
1 tsp. dry minced onion (or 1/2 tsp. onion flakes)
1 tsp. lemon juice (optional)
1 can(s) tuna fish (7 ounces)
1 can(s) condensed cream of mushroom soup
   Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl.  Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of mixture onto slices of bread.  (NOTE: Bread may be brushed with melted butter for added flavor.)  Top with another slice of bread.  Bake at 400 degrees F. for 10 to 15 minutes.  Serve hot.  Tips: Use any sliced bread, packaged or homemade.

Chicken Spaghetti
------------------
1 pound spaghetti
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can nacho cheese soup (or cheddar cheese soup)
1 can tomato soup
1 can white chicken (like in a tuna can)
   Cook and drain spaghetti and return to large pot. If water is scarce, save the water. Add canned ingredients, warm and serve.
Variations include:
Picante sauce or ro-tel tomatoes instead of tomato soup
Leave out chicken
Use canned chicken broth for moisture in large servings
Add peppers, onions, olives

Frito Pie
---------
Individual bags of Fritos, one for each person
Wolf Brand chili without beans
Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, grated and mixed together
Onions, finely grated
Fresh tomatoes, finely chopped
Picante sauce
Assorted olives, chopped
Avocado, cubed
   Set out a big pot of chili surrounded by decorative bowls of condiments.  Split open bags of Fritos down one side. Open. This is your "bowl."  Top Fritos with chili and condiments of your choice. Eat with a spoon.

This Month’s Frugal Living Tips:
==============================
Garden, can & preserve your home-grown foods.  Learn tips from organic gardening books & periodicals.  Even if you have to grow your tomatoes in flower pot and your squash in a hanging basket, get in touch with Mother Nature.  You'll feel better for playing in the soil, and you'll have fresh vegetables at a fraction of the cost of supermarket vegetables.
