When We Thought The World Was Going to End....

 

I was so proud of myself cleaning and painting the pantry this past week.  I stocked all my jars with  soup beans, lentils, black eye peas, kidney beans etc.   Looks kind of cool.  

Taking inventory of everything I realized we had more soup beans then we would ever need.  

Just look what I found:


Now, we have a deep believe that God would provide but he wants us to help him do that. No lazy people here.  So, when the pandemic hit we stocked up when we could, you know in case the world was going to end.  I guess one of the things we decided to overstock was soup (pinto) beans.  ha ha.  

Did we think that they wouldn't be able to grow any more soup beans,  the workers wouldn't be there to put them in bags, or that we wouldn't be able to get out to get them?  I'm not sure, we just kept getting more.  Oh boy do we have soup beans!  

I'll be canning soup beans soon but I hope the pantry needs soup beans because it's donation time.

I inherited my Dad's beans when he passed last year, so we have a lot of beans here too. I've given some away too to help spread the wealth. LOL

Ha we have a couple of big bags of pinto beans left from a few years ago too. There were so many shortages then, that I thought we wouldn't go hungry if we had dried beans. :)
