Food Storage / Emergency Prepardness - January's R.S. Activity

This was a really fun activity.

We started out with a potluck dinner with a "Food Storage" theme. The idea was to bring a dish that you had used one or more food storage ingredients to prepare.

We took a minute for everyone to share what dish they brought so we could get food storage ideas.

I brought sushi with artificial crab, cream cheese and cucumber inside.

Here is a tutorial I put together on how to make it.

We set up for dinner and two classes in the cultural hall.

 We thought it would be fun to use jars for vases on the tables, since part of it was a food storage activity.

After the dinner we had the two classes. They were each 30 min long. The first was on food storage. I wish I would have taken a picture of how the sister who taught our class had set up her table. It was really neat. There were all different kinds of jars of fruits, veggies, meats, etc that she had canned and dried.

I learned that veggies usually need to be pressure canned and most fruits can just go through a water bath.

Then we had a 30 minute emergency preparedness class.
