Pantry food is great. I always have canned chicken, tuna and salmon in the cupboard and boxes of pasta. I made my old standby the other night, the dish that got me through my first apartment and having to stretch a dollar, the all famous tuna casserole. It was great and brought back those days of an 18 year old trying to make it on a receptionist salary.
Now you’re talking! I looked at the article but didn’t even recognize most of that stuff as food. Rutabagas? People really eat that?
We’ve been home canning for years. We have a pantry stuffed full of beef stew, navy beans with ham, turkey soup, chicken soup, split pea and ham, etc. We could go a month on these.
We bake a loaf of bread every 2 or 3 days as needed.
Dinner tonight was lamb chops from the freezer, cous cous with carmelized onions and goat cheese, and a nice glass of Malbec.
Not bad for a couple of Deplorables.

If we're stuck here for a month, she may get mighty tired of it as it's one of the things that I bought enough ingredients to make 5 times!
“the all famous tuna casserole.”
I still have my recipe for Tuna Casserole from 7th grade Home Ec class, and make it often, using canned chicken breast instead of tuna. Hubby hates tuna.
