Looks like some awesome stuff! You have a good estate sale find there! Kman, Thanks! Being sold individually seems odd to me: Surplus material? It is interesting. After last summer's COVID related food supply issues, I decided to take out a little long term food storage insurance. I had bought a fe...

Twenty-four hours later, having suffered no ill effects from the peaches, I decided to try some meat. 2021 04 09 - 21.jpg I chose a Beef Patty.
