My beau has been compiling a stock of emergency supplies in case "the big one hits." I laughed along for a while, but I think it's naïve of me to believe that we'll be rescued immediately, or that I won't freak after being locked up for 24 hours without food or water, or that people will be loving and helpful. (My change of heart is also attributed to reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road.)
I am grateful now for all the work and research he did to compile our emergency backpack. Now we have to set aside some nonperishable food stuffs as well as lots of water. Here's my list of food that I pray will be in the house when the big one hits: (To be more precise, these foods will at least make me feel better about imminent death.)
1. Figs
2. Spinach (arugula, kale, chard, dandelion, collards, etc. are suitable substitutes)
3. Acorn and butternut squash
4. Coffee
5. Bourbon
And my shopping list for goods to stash:
1. Cannellini beans
2. Tuna
3. Veg-All
4. Coffee
5. Bourbon
What's on your list?
