I'm fine. I (almost) always land on my feet. I do own the property free and clear, so I've always got home.

Preparedness means preparing for mistakes I'm going to be making in the future, as best I can, and always having a gone-to-crap plan if worst comes to worst.

That and faith in God has served me well, even if times were hard.

Humility can be a good lesson, humor is required to deal with it. ;)

Our backup plan is 20 acres 10 miles north of town, with a creek, and totally paid for. We have some tents and camping equipment, it’s not a great plan, but we used to be pretty good at camping beyond modern conveniences.

Okay, I'm admitting all - I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SOFRITO, MIREPOIX AND MILNOT ARE. I don't even know how to pronounce sofrito and mirepoix.

I hope others here don't know what that stuff is as I don't want to be the only one who doesn't know.

What are they and how do you use them with what kind of meat or whatever?

Another thing - I have a small Dak canned ham in the bottom drawer of my fridge and I don't remember where it came from or how long it has been there. I think maybe it was included in a gift pack to my husband but I don't know how long that was. What is your opinion of whether it is still good or not. To my knowledge, it has been in the fridge all this time. Because I can't document for sure it's past history, do I just junk it?

Other than that one, I don't have any Dak ham. I think stores put that on sale during the holidays, like maybe Walmart, and I'll stock up because I have long life stored beans to feed an army for a long time and ham needs to go in the beans for bean soup if there is a long term emergency.
