The shelf life on those isn't huge, though, so you need to check the expiration date when you buy them and rotate them often. The best places I know if to buy shelf-safe milk in bolk is Costco for Hershey's milk and Gossner's in Logan for a bunch of different flavors.<br><br>Right now our food storage includes lots and lots of pasta and pasta sauce, rice and canned fruits and vegetables. Oh, and some freeze-dried fruit as well. The next thing I want to stock up on is canned beef and chicken. If we have to live off of our food storage in an emergency, I definitely want some meat in there.<br><br>It is definitely a good idea to use the items from your food storage on a regular basis both to rotate them and so you have practice with them. I have known people who have a day every so often (or some even a week) where they cook only with their food storage. Doing it for a meal or a day if fun. I'm not up to doing a whole week yet.Evensporhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17005685575858296425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496800963525315493.post-75717694068695842202008-06-02T11:10:00.000-07:002008-06-02T11:10:00.000-07:00This post was kind of fascinating to me, as one wh...This post was kind of fascinating to me, as one who almost never cooks - and certainly not with scratch - I would have no idea what to do with most of that stuff. Most of what we buy, all you need to do is add water and heat. (Still working on the heat part). I wouldn't mind having someone like you around in an emergency though. :)Calihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09716442369655864097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496800963525315493.post-48073350805447369792008-06-01T16:29:00.000-07:002008-06-01T16:29:00.000-07:00Some of that shortening might be attributable to i...Some of that shortening might be attributable to it being a serviceable if disgusting substitute for butter in a lot of recipes.

You can get it in bulk and I've got some recipes that use it for soups.

That would certainly last a few years, and get more delicious as it aged.tensaihttp://www.zmonkey.org/blog/noreply@blogger.com
