Things They Don't Tell You about Food Storage

You hear a lot about how you need to store food, rotate it, try it so your family isn't thrown for a loop when you HAVE to use it, etc...

What they don't tell you is how to get it open! I tried three can openers this morning to use powdered milk in my pancake mix and this is the result.

Pancakes tasted fine...my sliced finger did not AND I still have to figure out how to get the rest of the lid off the can!!

No way! That is my biggest fear if I have to dig in some day. I better invest in an oversized, super jumbo can opener!

I have a funky white can opener..ha, ha. I open those cans all the time. I'll take a picture so you can see what it looks like.

Ouch! I hate cutting my fingers like that. They seem to take so long to heal and its such a hassle since your hands are in water so much with all the domestic duties!

Been there and felt that Linde. I find the only thing that works is the Pampered Chef can opener. It's the one that cuts off the top without leaving the sharp edge. I will admit, I have to go around those cans twice with it, but it comes off completely clean. It's well worth the extra cost to have a can opener that works and no sliced fingers! Ouch!

I'm impressed you are using your food storage. That is a really good idea. Sorry about the cut finger.

I think your post about your way of folding laundry vs Jason's is so funny. That is so true. The fnnny thing is--it reminded me of me and my mom. She does everything the "right" way and I do everything the lazy way. Luckily Sam doesn't know the right way so he thinks I'm doing a good job.
