The 4 Day Experiment

I just finished a 4 day experiment: eating only food storage items. I love my fruits and veggies so I wondered how I was going to fare with out them – especially apples and lettuce. I started some sprouts and wheat grass a few days before so they’d be edible by the time I started my experiment. Found that I love canned ruby red grapefruit but I don’t care for wheat grass. I tried several different ways to eat it…without being able to hide the strong flavor. It really is like eating GRASS! I tried hiding it in a fruit shake but it made the whole shake taste like grass. The best way to get it down was to put some in the blender with a little water and purify it until it was a liquid, then drink it like a shot! My friend, Olivia, suggested putting it in tuna on a sandwich…I’ll have to give that a try. It grows fast! It has grown back to the height it was when I cut it down 2 days ago…I can’t eat it fast enough!!!! AHHHHHHH!

My graham crackers were so old they had gone rancid – good reminder to eat what I store and store what I eat.

I’m collecting some pretty good stories for the Family Preparedness Follies.

Overall I didn’t really miss anything except the apples and lettuce…but it was only 4 days. My alfalfa sprouts did well and were my main green for the days…My favorite food, of course, were the brownies made from storage!

Next experiment will be homemade yogurt from a dried powder start and sunflower seed sprouts and buckwheat groat sprouts.

I’m hoping Jeff and I can make another SLC run sometime soon…love to all. Lynnette
