The Internet shrink Dr. Long says Putin is hurting and may resort to nukes. Dr. Long says now is the time to put food away. Therefore, I checked out my pantry.
I’ve had a mouse in there! Apparently, he opened one bag of white rice and decided it was not to his liking, and he opened one bag of pasta and decided that was not to his liking as well, and he opened two boxes of quinoa and ate every last morsel. Nutritionally, that’s a smart mouse!
You know, I had anticipated mouse damage. I had read that Dr. Long recommended putting stuff in glass bottles, but I didn’t like the expense or labor of glass bottles. I had planned to get the recycled cookie tins from the free store at the landfill, but the project didn’t go well. At least I got about seven cookie tins, but their shape is not conducive to storing the stuff I have, and then they don’t stack well. So anyway, I had those few empty tins and put some of my foodstuffs into the tins.
I’m glad I checked my pantry, because I see I’m almost out off toilet paper, and I see that I cannot find any powdered Parmesan cheese. Definitely, if I’m going to be serving pasta, I’ll want crumbled Parmesan cheese!
Anyway, I made an otherwise unneeded trip to the super market. I turned in $4.15 worth of deposit cans, which helped clean out space in my car, and I bought greater than $30 worth of extra stuff that’ll be good to have on hand. Not much I know. (My friend Carl teases me when I say I stored five cans of beans away in case of an Apocalypse. He says, “In an Apocalypse, what’s the difference?”) But I figure it’ll make a difference to me and mine.
Also, my wife likes a Macintosh apple if it’s peeled and cored and cut up, which she will not do, but it’s the perfect time of year to buy apples here, and I can manage the prep of a fresh apple!
