Dinner With Friends, Mylar Bags, Food Saver Packets, Flea/Antique Market Finds

On Friday, we had some friends of ours from the church come over for dinner and visit.  I made some homemade bread, lasagna and cake.  My girlfriend and husband brought some salad, dressing, beer from Belgium and Sangria.  We all had a blast exchanging stories and reminiscing.

Bulldog Man and I ordered some Mylar bags (Metalized Foil Bucket Liner) and food saver packets ($12.99 for pack of 50) from Nitro-Pak.com.  This site was recommended by James Wesley, Rawles.  We didn’t order the sealer because of the cost. We decided to use my hair straightener iron, its produces the heat needed to seal our food bags and it only cost me $28.00.  I’m all for cutting corners as long as you get the same result.

I picked up two oil lanterns and a hand held mixer today at the Flea/Antique Market.  Everything is in working order, just needs a little cleaning.  Both of these items have been checked off of my prepping list.

Right now, I’m waiting for the temperatures to cool a little so I can go out and work on the property.  It was just too darn hot this afternoon to do anything outside.
What are you doing this weekend?
