May. 17th, 2015 12:40 pmA story about food hoarding:
A couple years ago, I made a bunch of pies in jars and stuck them in the back of the freezer. "Someday," I thought, "I will want a pie, but not want to have to make a pie or go buy a pie, and these pies will just be ready, in the freezer."
It is now literally years later, and today I get to have a delicious homemade pie, with no effort beyond heating the pie in the oven.
And that, friends, is the benefit of having the kind of brain that constantly thinks, "I'm not going to eat this now because I might need it later."*
*Note: this only works with things that are not highly perishable. Do not hoard fresh fruit, for example - you will end up being sad about it.
