My mom’s basement
Come and see what we found in my mom’s basement after she died in May. No, we didn’t eat any of that food and thankfully World War III didn’t happen last week. Sometimes it seemed like it was possible, though.
Hey, I wonder if Make Magazine can find something to do with all of that? Maybe I’ll truck it to the next Maker Faire. Phillip Torrone, got any ideas (he’s the editor there and always comes up with unique ideas)?

PT: Imagine a pile of beans, peas, rice, ketchup, and other food staples. All 15 years old, so you wouldn’t want to eat the stuff.

Survey the food and see if it’s still good, then donate i (if good ) to one of the many relief agencies.
Now I see why I caught some of your ambivalence when writing about your Mom (didn’t know she was a follower of Elizabeth Claire Prophet).
Having a cabin in the Wind River range-outside of Pinedale Wy, I followed Church Universal and Triumphant’s development of their Yellowstone property- preparing for the end of the world, etc.

o, 15 years old, never mind.

the video loaded - well, it seems like the containers for all those things could be recycled / reused for a variety of things - it all depends on how much time and effort you’re willing to spend to dump the food, assuming it went bad - some things are likely edible, a lot are “ify” —

You could do a reenactment of the really cool SunRice “rice sculpture” ads that appeared in Australia a while back: http://www.sunrice.com.au/rice/marketing-advertising.asp

At SJSU:
1) The crackers were Saltines, not Ritz
2) I was the one who left them in the newsroom
(enter demoniacal laugh here)
3) I tasted one before leaving them in the newsroom — when I wasn’t visited by botulism, I figured it meant they were OK for human consumption.

I would think some of that stuff might be usable. Okay maybe for cattle feed, but what a waste.
