Chicken. It's what's for dinner!

Nope that isn't some kind of biology project or something from the anatomy lab. I got together with some ladies from the ward and had an AWESOME time canning chicken. Scary looking...but quite tasty. Sure beats eating rice and beans when disaster hits!
The good news is that we won't be eating raw wheat! After 2 years of sitting on 500 lbs of canned wheat we FINALLY got a wheat grinder. We couldn't bring ourselves to buy an electric one, but Preston said (as a true man) "I don't know what all the fuss is about, it took me like 2 seconds to grind this cup of wheat." Well...if the end of the world comes at least he'll be ripped :) We enjoyed some tasty semi-wheat flour pancakes.

Question 1: Is it possible for Preston to look normal in a picture?
Question 2: Really, that's chicken?
Question 3: Can I come stay with you in the event of a disaster?
I have flour, sugar, rice and 3 granola bars. Preston can eat the granola bars to get energy to grind us some flour!!!

Is that an egg atop that pancake? Let me guess, it's finished with a nice glob of ketchup.

Yeah, what is on the pancakes? It looks very strange. Well, I admire your choice in wheat grinders. I think that it looks like a winner! Mine is electric but it is huge and clunky and uses stones to grind that might leave tiny stone residue. So, where did you get that one?

#1: Lori...in case of an emergency you are seriously screwed. 3 granola bars...seriously.

#2: Yes that's an egg...and yes it's disgusting.

#3: We budget money every month for food storage and it's the one area we never go over budget on! So finally PRESTON bought that bad boy...no idea where he got it. he ordered it online.

You know the more I look at that chicken in the bottles, it conjures up images from the past of fetal pigs and other things in jars that I would never want to eat. Sorry Nets...
