72 Hour Kit: Individual needs: Personal prescribed medications, extra glasses and sun glasses, contact lenses and supplies, hearing aid batteries. Place your individual needs in your kit. If it can't be in your kit (refrigeration, etc.) keep it ready to go. Adjust your 72 hour kits for infants, children and the elderly with their special needs.
Family Preparation: Learn how and teach all family members to turn off the natural gas or propane in an emergency and when it needs to be turned off (due to gas leak, earthquake, house fire or other problems). Place a wrench that is large enough to do the job inside the house near the front door. (Caution: you may need your gas company to turn your gas back on)
Spiritual Preparation: Read Alma 34:17-27
Try a little harder to have individual and family prayer. Strive to pray both morning and night. Pray for both temporal and spiritual blessings.
Food for Thought:
Some LDS Dry Pack Canneries carry a dry soup mix but the Cedar City Cannery does not. However as you can see from our price comparison list above, our local health food store in Cedar City carries a line of dried soup mixes in their bulk food section. These soups are great for storage and really, really good. You can get them even cheaper by ordering them in 10 lb. cases directly from their supplier online by going to Taste Adventure. They also have a delicious black bean dry soup mix available online that the store does not carry. Five minutes and a pot of hot water and they are delicious - my own favorites being the split pea and black bean.
We keep a 10 lb. case of split pea on hand all year for wonderful quick meals (ingredients: pre-cooked green split peas, carrots, sea salt, onions, garlic, herbs & spices). You may think these prices are a lot but 10 lbs of dried soup mix goes a long way!
Here are the online prices for a 10-lb case:
Split Pea
Curry Lentil
Black Bean
The above are $32.40 + $11.99 shipping for a total of $44.39 (still less than buying at the store even with shipping).
Sweet Corn Chowder - $36.72 + $11.99 shipping for a total of $48.71.
You can make a very nice, easy bean soup of your own entirely from LDS Cannery dried food storage by putting some of the dried carrots, onions and refried beans in a pot of water and cooking for 10-15 minutes. You can also add some of the cannery dry macaroni to this if you like noodles in it. Extra non-cannery items to add if you want to get fancy and if you have them might be celery, tomatoes, corn, green chilis and chili powder.
As we mentioned in last week's edition, the St. George wet pack cannery has Chicken Noodle Soup and Vegetable Soup in 15 oz. cans available for canning. Friday April 1st from 9am to 3pm is the last date in this canning season that these items will be available. Please refer to Week 9 for all pertinent info but if you are interested you should call right away and sign up for it. However, if you are going by yourself or as a couple you can call that morning before the session starts and ask if you can come in.
