My parents are Mormon and I grew up in the 70's and have great memories of the sound of the wheat grinder. It's such a comforting sound. When we heard it, that meant there would be hot wheat bread when we got home from school with homemade apricot or plum jam from our own fruit trees. Even better were the frequent batches of fry bread, which my mom called scones, spread thick with butter and jam. She also made 6-7 loaves of bread to last our family of 8 (12 when we had foster kids)through the week and then 2-3 extra with which she would have us suprise the neighbors. It was so fun to have our gaggle of kids delivering hot bread to people on our street. Of course, the bread was round because it was made from recycled cans of huge-mongous storage room sized Yeast. It wasn't until I hit school that I realized all bread wasn't round. Now, the parents weren't so good about rotating anything but the wheat, so the shelves of 10 year old homemade canned goods always seemed quite scary to me. :) Ah memories!

There will be a lot of quick conversions if there's a natural disaster. I’m not good at preparing and organization so my disaster recovery plan is to move next to an LDS temple.

We’re supposed to gather a year’s supply of food which for many people ends up being several barrels of wheat stored but never used.
