Realized the instant mashed potatoes in our earthquake kit are expiring, so I ate some for breakfast. Everyone always says, "only prep with what you eat", but we don't really eat a lot of canned or dried food and we both have a ton of allergies.

Instant mash seems like something I'd want to eat if we had an earthquake or bad storm in the middle of winter and they literally take about a minute to make. Fairly dense in calories too.

They aren't nearly as bad as I remembered them, so when we need to use them up I will maybe use them to top a cottage pie. I also tested them out for farls and they make a really decent one. One of the smaller packages should make about 12 farls.

Glad they aren't going to waste.
