What did you cook or eat today (April 2026)?

Make some musabi and see if your famiy will try it. I'm not crazy about spam and even I will eat that.

I go through splurges of eating those. I'm out of nori sheets ATM though. I've got some dried wakame...

Everything is expensive these days. It's about $1 cheaper at the Asian markets. I figure my fuel cost is about that driving to the Asian markets, Walmart is much closer.

Yes, I figure it's $5 to start the truck...

Might be true, but not in this context?

Thank you. One of those cans will take me a week to go through and Food Lion has the smaller ones but those work out to like $7 if you got a regular size can. Dollar Tree has the single serves and I've been getting these and also paying the tax...View attachment 144190

They charge tax on food in Georgia? Our DT doesn't.

I doubt any of my kids know that term. I don't think it's commonly used anymore.

Yes, different rates for different categories. Alcohol is around 12% and food averages 8%, or thereabouts.

"Stubborn hunyuck throwing food"... maybe, but now you have to look up, "hunyuck". I'm not one of the extreme doomsday preppers, but I do prep, believing it to be a personal responsibility. Since you're in the African sticks, I can imagine we share a similar sentiment. In fact, you may even have an emergency generator, which I don't (though it's on my checklist). I view it like any other insurance policy, and try to stockpile only what we can rotate through, so there will be no (or minimal) waste.

Remember when some co-conspirators released a bio-weapon via China about 6 years back and governments across the globe banned people from going to work or setting foot in public without wearing a mask? That was a SHTF scenario. Pepperidge Farm remembers that tyranny, and thankfully we had a physical stash of cash, food, and a year's supply of toilet paper and many other things on hand. In fact, we were able to help out many friends/neighbors with shortages they had never dreamed of.
