Today, I processed the other flat of tomatoes that I purchased on Saturday into tomato juice (for lack of a better term); over the next day or two, I should have all the tomato juice processed into powder or paste.
I also got a start on making a vegan ramen borth. I boiled 1 completed head of garlic (cut in half), 120g of sliced garlic (skin and all), 250g each of celery (stems and leaves) and carrots, 350g each of yellow onion and fuji apple, and 100g of dried shittake mushrooms in 4 liters of water for half an hour simmered them for another half an hour, then strained the whole deal and put the liquid in the fridge to chill. Tomorrow, I plan to add some kombu the soak its flavor into the liquid, and then maybe boil it to concentrate it before I freeze it. I may also cook some potatoes in it until they're totally broken down and then incoporate them for some added body and cloudiness.
I also found a place to store emergency supplies. I friend offered to let me store them in the basement of a rental home he owns. The place is ell above the surrounding ground level, there is access to the basement from outside, and it's free! Now the thing to do is to figure out a good system of food storage and rotation.
