When he bought our 50 lbs of beans, and sometimes when he tells people about his food preservation projects, they ask if we're some kind of crazy waiting-for-the-apocalypse family. He assures questioners that we're not, that we're just putting up produce to eat for the winter.
But, if we DID decide to go crazy apocalypse route, we've got THIS
We inherited many boxes of Foods of the Future from Steve's friend's wife's dead grandmother. The cans have no dates on them, but we think they're about 30 years old, although 'Foods of the Future' has sort of a 1950s ring to it. Steve used some of the freeze dried onions in his chow, so cross your fingers for us.
I would have thought that in the future, our food would be MORE delicious and fresh, not less so. But this is easier to take to the moon . . .
[post edit: Steve just told me that the grandmother we inherited this from is NOT dead. I guess she just got too old to go to the moon and didn't need her foods of the future anymore.]

If she's "not dead," maybe it's because she never opened and ate from the cans. --MarmDad
Steve has also been known to eat 10 + year old cake mix found in the basement of the old house. Yes the one you saw demolished. He shared it with a Scot friend after talking his dear aunt into baking it. He did not tell her the source until after they had eaten it.

MarmDad--Or maybe it's because she DID. Actually, I wonder if Steve's illness two days ago is suddenly explained . . .
KWB--I heard that story!
What is chow?
Chow is sweet pickled green tomatoes. Nova Scotians love it and eat it with potatoes and fish cakes and all kinds of things.
