Food storage

One of our family goals for 2010 is to work on our food storage. I had gotten some dried milk and rice from the cannery and since the food sealer is stored at our house, decided for family home evening we were going to seal the food together. Many hands make light work.


Found out quick that fine powdery items need to be put in a ziploc bag before being sealed in mylar bag. Here's Ken getting the air out of the ziploc bag using a straw. Don't inhale too much or you get a mouthful of dry milk also. Not the tastiest.



Everyone hard at work

My favorite part was doing it together as a family.


The end result. Just knowing we're on our way motivates me to get in gear and start on other things we need to do.
