So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Keep Your Family Safe With Shelf Stable Meals

By Katrina Wheeler


Being prepared for any disaster is a good idea, even if you prefer not to think about what could happen. With shelf stable meals, you can ensure that your family is provided for even if things are not going well. It doesn't what matter what happens, you will always do well with food on hand. Your entire family will be able eat well with a little preparation.

Food storage requires having long lasting food that will be easy to prepare. If you select the right products, you will not have to deal with switching food out every few months. Most shelf stable foods are freeze dried or canned to help them last longer. Without moisture or with the correct processing, these meals can be kept for years in your garage or basement.

It can be quite beneficial to have decent food when an emergency hits. Not only will good nutritious food keep your energy levels up, it will also boost your morale. When people are left without anything to eat, they become weak quickly, both mentally and physically. Even a candy bar can help you feel more hopeful.

While you should have a variety of items in your emergency preparedness kit, food is certainly one of the more important supplies to have on hand. You should consider whether or not you will have a way to cook food or add water to it. This can influence your decision as to which items to keep on hand.

In a bad situation, you could easily be without any way to cook your meal. To prepare for this, choose items that can be eaten as is. MREs or ready to eat meals are a great way to get the energy you need without having to prepare anything. You can also look at canned vegetables and energy bars, which do well in any preparedness kit. You will find lots of options.

Rather than buying tins of fruit or vegetables and meat separately, try looking for complete meals. Not only are these more interesting to eat, they make it simple to get a meal ready. You can just heat or open a package and have everything you need. If you do have a way to heat water, you can have hot meals. It really helps to eat something warm in the middle of a disaster. Assume that you will not have heat and stock up on fuel and a camping stove.

You probably will not enjoy all the MREs that are available, so try some out before buying large amounts. Many places will let you try a few different meals individually before investing in bulk. You can then purchase as many as you want of the best meals.

You will also find it helpful to have shelf stable meals along when camping. They can be kept in the car for emergencies, too. Be prepared by ensuring that you have long term food supplies ready to go in your home and vehicle. When things go badly or a disaster hits, you will be ready for it.
