The Challenge - Assets, Part 2

As I organized the various parts of our pantry this past week, I took the change to get a rough estimate of some of our more "bulk" items, or the items we seem to have stocked up on. This list is not the complete list of my total assets when it comes to already-purchased foods, but it'll give you an idea. I'll start with the home-canned stuff.

• 50 quarts of green beans

• 14 quarts of apples

• 1 quart and 8 pints of apple sauce

• 1 pint and 4 half-pints of apple butter

• 16 randomly-sized bottles of apple cider vinegar

• 27 half-pints of pepper jelly

• 2 pints and 72 half-pints of squash relish

• 6 pints and 1 half-pint of cucumber relish

• 11 pints and 2 half-pints of peppers (pickled, I guess)

• 4 pints and 1 half-pints of bread and butter pickles

• 2 quarts of tomato juice

• 2 pints of salsa

• 5 half-pints of extremely spicy, green chile hot sauce/enchilada sauce

• Some red wine vinegar

Aside from the home-canned stuff, our more major stock items are:

• 6 - 50lb bags of hard red wheat

• 50lbs of hard white wheat

• 50lbs soft white wheat

• 25lbs of pop corn (actually... that might be a 50lb bag...) and several small bags

• 25lbs of white flour (don't judge me!)

• 25lbs of steel cut oats (plus a good bit in a 5 gal. bucket...)

• Roughly 10lbs of macaroni

• 1 - 106oz. can of cheddar cheese sauce (gag)

• 2 - 105oz cans of crushed tomatoes

• 1 - 105oz. can of tomato sauce

• 2 - 30oz. and 12 - 6oz. cans of tomato paste

• 8 - 14.5oz. cans of diced tomatoes

• 5 - 10.75oz. cans of tomato soup

• 3 - 4lb boxes of salt

• Roughly a gallon and a half of local honey

On top of that, we've got several large bags of dried beans, the types and sizes of which I cannot at the moment remember. Rather a random assortment of things, no? Stay tuned to see what, if anything, happens with these items throughout the coming year!

Well, I didn't get around to organizing/going through the chest freezer yesterday as I had hoped (too busy attempting to make this blog aesthetically pleasing...), so I'm going to try again today.
