Part of cruising is provisioning and we have been working hard to cover this base. One thing we have been doing is canning. On our last ICW trip we spent a lot of time and effort re-provisioning as we traveled. This can be inconvenient at times as we like to anchor out for days at a time. This and the fact that the cruising refrigerator only holds so much means that we often run short. This trip will be different.
My talented wife has gotten good at canning a variety of products. Today I helped her do a number of jars of applesauce, which I really love. But more importantly she has been canning meat as well. She has done chicken, hamburger, and stew beef and we plan to take along a supply of each. I must admit I was leery at first to eating meat from a jar, but I have quickly come to love the convenience of having a ready made supply at our fingertips. and it is TASTY! Plus, we can buy a quantity of meat on sale and save really big. What's not to like about that?
So while we wait and prepare here at home we provision for our upcoming journey. Pretty cool!
