Do you have a favorite recipe for using your food storage? Maybe a comfort food your family wouldn't want to go without, or something that makes excellent use fo the basics? Well here's a good chance to show your stuff, and have a chance to win some *awesome* prizes.

A great video provided by the <a href="http://geology.utah.gov/">Utah Geological Survey</a>. If you've ever wanted a little more information about the reality of earthquakes in the Utah area, this is a must-watch video. They use the popular Google Earth tool to point out important aspects of Utah's Fault-line network. Just how close do you live to one of these? Do you cross any on your way to work?

I came across this great post today on the <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/">Safely Gathered In</a> blog about <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-to-can-your-own-food-in-10-cans.html">canning your own food at home in #10 cans</a>. The blog itself is well written and provides a lot of really great info about Food Storage and Emergency Preparedness. They have <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/search/label/Three-month%20supply">weekly posts on Tuesdays</a> that guide you in purchases to build up your 72 hour kits and food storage. If you have a hard time deciding what you need to purchase, or you feel overwhelmed by <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-toplan-your-three-month-supply.html">everything you need to buy to be prepared</a>, these kind of guides are invaluable!
One of my favorite comfort foods to have around is cheese. While I do not consider myself any kind of cheese-snob by any means, I do have several varieties that I like to have on hand, and really care about the flavor and texture of those cheeses. These cheeses make up a very important part of my regular diet, and having to go without them would not only cause me and mine to feel the lack of something, but our bodies would probably quickly notice it, and our digestion would likely suffer.
This is a habit I got myself into a long time ago. It's a fairly simple principle - if you do at LEAST one small thing to prep every single day, it will all add up very quickly! Following this principle, I make sure that every day I've done something to prep. It might be as simple as fill a 2 liter bottle with water or doing a quick visual inventory and making a mental checklist of what I need to pick up at the store soon. Other (funner) days it's something much more complex like stocking up on medical supplies, buying another gas can, filling it and putting it with the others.
