You like challenges and that does make life exciting. We only lived in Phoenix for a few years and loved it and thought we would go back eventually. However, by the time we were free to move where ever we wanted, Phoenix had grown much too big and we changed directions. I am with you on sandwiches. As long as the bread is a variety, french, wheat, etc. and not plain commercial white bread. My son has no trouble getting his dad to try new stuff because they like various spices, sauces and stuff I would rather not have junking up my food. I hate to waste calories on food that does not appeal to me. Our food stash is heavily loaded with a variety of beans and pasta and rice, which we use a lot more than potatoes. We will be as big as a house if we have to hole up for too long.

LOL, I have to vote with your son, I like the spicy food and can’t cook without lots of herbs.
But that is ok, and what makes our country so great, we all do it a little different.
No, Phoenix is not the small town that you once knew, it is so big and busy and very dangerous.
A friend’s grandson, was killed, attempting to keep his car from being hijacked......Sad for he was a bright and kind young man, very special.
If I had to move today, Cedar City, Utah would get another looking at and maybe East Texas, or the hills of Tennessee.
I too, stored lots of beans and rice, but also attempted to add a few things like Jello and the fruits.
All of us would eat better, if we were dedicated to fixing it and not to eating it.....
All that bending over a campfire, will keep you thin.....
