#13   I got infested by some small moth that turned everything in my cupboard full of crawlies

Indian pantry moths. They come over as eggs in the rice. Freezing kills them, so I’ve kept my rice in the freezer as a precaution every since I discovered the problem crawling across my kitchen ceiling, seeking new lands to conquer.

*shudder* I had to throw out everything in the pantry that wasn’t sealed in plastic, glass, or tin cans.

#10  A bag (30 lbs) of rice, a bag of beans, a bag of onions and spices. Scrounge the pantry for variety. You're good for 60 days.

#5  Oh it's lead, I don't live in California. My wife made me get some other stuff too, mostly because she realized Sam's ships and I could do some of the shopping from the rig.

We haven't gone crazy though, simply bought a little extra of stuff we normally buy so we have to go out less. 3 cases now in Fort Bend County.

#4  A case of Ever Clear or cheap Vodka, I read somewhere a case of cheap rye whiskey makes for good trading material.
