Dry Pack Canning

A few weeks ago my friend Liz and I went to the Dry Pack Canning place on our ward's assigned day and went to work. I took pictures with my phone - but alas I can not figure out how to get them onto the computer! You will just have to imagine the two of us in our hairnets and plastic aprons working up a storm putting flour, sugar, oats, re fried beans, beans, cocoa, rice etc into cans. It was really fun and I am always amazed at the efficiency with which the church operates. And also the help that the church offers to all who are willing to work. The other amazing thing was that we were the only two that went that day from our ward! Don't people know what a fun and rewarding experience it is to do this? It only took us an hour and a half to get everything that we wanted and then we were on our way! I don't recommend buying everything there - but if you want a food storage supply, this stuff will last longer than the stuff from the grocery store (as it is in cans not paper). It also gave me a chance to organize my other storage items and rotate stuff. I felt very productive!
