A few days ago, I finally received the Foodsaver jar sealer that I had ordered, and in less than 2 hours I had vacuum sealed about 65 glass canning jars full of M&M's, coconut, pecans, walnuts, and chocolate chips. It was SO EASY! My sources say that these items will keep at least 3 years after being vacuum sealed. I am very excited to have all these items in my food storage.
Today I did my first "home consultation" with a ward member on the subject of food storage. I stayed for one hour and gave her all sorts of computer documents and also saw her food storage and answered a lot of questions. I have offered to do these for anyone in my ward that wants one, I hope I am able to help a lot of people this way.
Zac has finals this week at high school.
Last night I went to the Durham Orange Quilt Guild to their silent auction. I bid on lots of quilting and sewing stuff, and came home with so much that it took me 2 trips from the car to the house. And it cost me a total of $8.50. That was a GOOD DEAL.
One interesting thing that I paid 25 cents for, was a bunch of sewing patterns for baby and children's clothing. (I got rid of mine years ago.) And a huge assortment of knitting needles, also for 25 cents. I am thinking I should learn to knit.
And I just bid on my first item on ebay and won it. I bought some long bobbins for my Singer treadle sewing machine. Now if I can just buy some needles I can learn how to use it.
I think regular M & Ms would be ok long term, but I don't think the peanut ones would. What do you think? (Moot point anyway because we would just eat them before all that time passed!)
