So, this has been an interesting project. The rules have been broken a couple of more times - once because Bug needed to take cake and root beer to school for part of a book report (we were out of eggs, and cheated to buy frosting, and there was no way I was gonna try root beer), and another time for the temple road trip with our ward (we had to provide lunch and snacks for Roo, so we bought some crackers and cookies and bananas... and helped her eat them ;) ). Oh yeah, we learned we only had wheat, but no flour in our storage, and ran out of margarine, too, so I went to the store for those. No, I was not gonna be that rigid about this.
I think we've done really well, though. It has been sooooooo eye-opening. Bug doesn't like not having small bags of chips or crackers around for after-school snacking, and Roo misses hot dogs, but we've done okay. Here's a helpful hint: living on food storage is a good way to break your munching habit. There's just not as much stuff laying around to munch on. I should get on the scale and see if that has done me any measurable good so far...
We're gonna stick it out for this last week, so I don't want to write down all my thoughts on the subject just yet. Maybe this week we can experiment with making some snack crackers and actually make bread. Mr. Wonderful has been using his breadmaker almost everyday, but that bread is sooooo crusty, and we're out of yeast again... Hmmm.... sounds like I'll have to at least go buy yeast...
