My Hobby

I have a hobby that I am just realizing I have. And I think it might be an obsession. My hobby which is manifesting itself even more now. I hoard food. Who knew? Who knew it was a hobby? Evidently it is something I really really enjoy.

Since arriving in Indiana I now have two refrigerators. Seriously what did I do without two? I now can store over 20 pounds of chicken breast, 10 pounds or so of turkey bacon, 10 pounds of ground turkey, tons of frozen corn, beans, broccoli, strawberries, blueberries and so much more.

I am simply giddy to go to Costco and leave with my cart heaping and spilling over the edges with loads of food. Randy pointed out that we now have more food in our home than we ever have had. Very likely going past the three month standard rotation and into unchartered territory with the food. And that I am no longer storing my food, but I now hoard food.

So Hi, my name is Lee, and I hoard food. I have this need to have more food than I need for a long time so that we are prepared. Ironically, the other day I was asked what my hobbies were.. I said photography, and hoarding food. Nice huh? And then I giggled because I am sure they think I am a total nut job. But dude, at least I am prepared. When the rice and flour are all gone from the stores, I will be eating it for months to come.

So there you have it I am a food hoarder.. it is a hobby, obsession and it is slowly taking over my house one closet at a time. (Okay, not really but it sounds cool.)
