If you hard boil and pickle eggs, they last a very long time.

Interesting.
I’ve never done that.
Do they take on strong vinegar flavor?
Probably a couple years.
I’ve put all my pasta in jars or airtight Oxo containers I picked up at TJMaxx.
I want to avoid bugs, mostly.
Those cardboard boxes offer no protection from a lot of things and i find it i teresting that the pasta is still dated a good two years out. I guessed that when I vacuum sealed it and put it in our cool, dark basement, it probably doubled he shelf life.
Mine somehow keeps evaporating.
Yeah those pasta boxes aren’t even airtight. Any bug could just walk right in. Not to mention moisture and stuff. Thanks for all the information!
A nutritional powerhouse and good for 3-5 years on a shelf.
For a three year supply, you would need about a thousand cans per person. Bought in bulk, you could get a thousand cans for about $2,500.
Not bad investment at all considering you will be nourished for three full years.
I miss Johnny. He made me feel like less of a freak.
Not sure about sticky rice. I don’t make it. I do love me some risotto and pilaf.
Jasmine brown rice is good stuff also.
Thanks, I put it on my order list.
A recipe that can be adapted for taste. Originally it was for pickled beets, which actually makes beets tasty.
Pickled Beets
3 cans sliced beets, drained
4 hard boiled, peeled eggs
1 thick sliced onion
1 Tbsp pickling spice
1 heaping tsp sea salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
Add ingredients to jar then boil a 50/50 mix of cider vinegar and water, which you pour over them.
Seal and refrigerate. Pickling time is a minimum of two weeks. Eggs should be dark reddish-purple.
Alternatives: Strain and boil pickle juice then pour over other ingredients.
I miss Johnny, Marcella, and Rightly Dividing - that was the best of times on the Garden thread.
“He made me feel like less of a freak.”
I let my Freak Flag fly every day, LOL! Those of us that can grow our own food and preserve it, save seeds for the next crop, stitch up a wound and bake bread from scratch are going to RULE once TSHTF.
I am totally looking forward to my Wise Woman Years, and you should, too! ;)
Note to self: Learn to make salves and tinctures and basic home remedy stuff from natural ingredients. Just in case. ;)
Found a multi-can pack on Walmart, Likely not the best price:

I had a really good book on that, and can not find it anywhere. It wasn’t too complicated, and didn’t have a lot of fluffy foo foo editorial either.
Bought a couple of others that I hate. It’s gotta be here somewhere... maybe I’ll run across it as we go through stuff for the “shed”.
Please find and cite
Don’t hold your breath — been looking for 2 years.
Once, I lost my keys.
Then, We moved from a trailer to a house.
15 years after the move, the keys appeared - it was like magic. LOL
That’s the stuff, but Mom pays about $15 for it at Costco, so yes, it’s on the pricey side, but the best tuna we’ve found. Well worth having in your stash.
If you want, I can start a canned tuna smuggling operation, LOL!
Thanks for the tip.
That should be in my cookbook collection.
I couldn’t boil an egg when I got married. I was a nineteen-year-old college student. We couldn’t afford to eat at restaurants.
So I learned fast—sink or swim!
My Mom gave me the Meta Given Farm Cookbook, and it became a mainstay.
I think I have used every recipe in that book in over 60 years in the kitchen!
Sounds good!
Zucchini time is almost here!
Anchovies!
I eat them right out of the can!
