4 more 5 gallon poly jugs arrived today. I filled both trucks from older reserves and those empty's with the 4 new ones will be refilled tomorrow.
How much should one get? To store more, I need another box to put the cans in. I have 20 gallons now, plus multiple propane tanks. Genny is dual fuel.
Going off Champion’s numbers I should be good for 56+ hours of continuous runtime.
That does not sound like much. But running would not be 24x7.
Trying to figure out what to bring in for the coming fresh vegetables and salad shortage I expect.
I'm not a big vegetable eater. Never had much luck raising chickens. I think I was either planting them too deep, or too close together.seeds. Plants.
Start them now.
I am am wanting to find space inside to grow. Yea, right.

That's the problem. You dont plant chickens....that's just silly
We had a nice family picnic yesterday sitting down by the pond in the sunshine. The daughter spent some time in the yard gathering dandelions, both leaf for salad and the first of the early flowers to batter and fry. A little balsamic vinaigrette on the leaves and you couldn't really tell it was any different from some fancy store bought lettuce. The fried flowers were tasty too. They paired nice with a meat and cheese tray (Braunschweiger, Jagdwurst, Liverwurst and Jarlsburg) and some cornbread muffins washed down with a nice Merlot.
Experimented this morning with using Flax seed as an egg replacement. 1 Tablespoon seed to 3 Tablespoons water and let it soak for a bit. Made an apricot fig coffee cake with walnuts and not a scrap was left. It worked great. I'm guessing it won't make much of an omelette though.
Interesting.
Ordered a second freezer today. This one is nice because it can also be a fridge. https://www.sears.com/kenmore-22142-13.5-cu-ft-upright-freezer-white/p-A058458719 It was discounted quite a bit plus I used a $50 coupon (kenmore50) . Delivery not until April 17. Hope there is still meat and veg to be had by then.
Edited to add: Freezers are VERY scarce. If you need one, find one now. Most places had them backordered into summer.
Best Buy had none available today for shipping in a week. Lowes and Menards was same. My brother found one at in Anderson at Menards, my local store was shocked, and had it on his truck in 20 minutes. They are saying June delivery but that is just a wild azz guess...

This was about canned and frozen goods. Gardening is good but for many suburban dwellers is not enough...
Flax seed raises cortisol levels and negates the effect of testosterone in the male body.Yeah, it will be easier to store flax seed than dozens of eggs. That 1 to 3 ratio is per egg in the recipe and was actually on the back of the bag we have.
