A couple weeks ago our food storage goal for the week was solid shortening. Like Crisco. Found out that it will keep for 25-30 years on the shelf (shocker!) if stored correctly (cool, dry, unopened) and do get the kind in the plastic and not cardboard/paper container. Oh, and NOT the butter flavored kind.Another thing I just found out... you can use it as a light source! Yup, stick a wick in the can and it will burn for 45 days. Go figure! How about sticking a candle down in the can? Would that work, too? I have several half burned candles that would fit perfectly.
Being prepared is all manageable taken a step at a time, but we have to take the step!
