"Two months before 2000, Shelley Evans is armed and ready to swat the Millennium Bug. She's got a month's supply of tinned tuna, dried pasta and powdered vegetables in her pantry, bottled water in her garage and a solar-powered radio at the ready. Taking a cue from this Y2K preparedness expert, this week the 401Kafe (http://www.401kafe.com) looks at ways to guard your money (401(k), Social Security payments, or bank accounts) against potential Y2K-induced havoc.

"powdered vegetables"?????

Like maybe a box of instant potatoes? No, that's a starch. Hmmm. A bag of corn meal? No. Well, I give up. Is anyone else out there storing "powdered vegetables"????

I'd love some powdered veggies. I have some carrot seeds--does that qualify?

"...powdered veggies..."

Isn't that dehydrated baby food? Just what I wanted, 2 months worth of veggie mush - not!

Hope the other advice was a bit more accurate than that.

Um, I made hamburger rocks and dried some broccoli, and in all honesty, there *were* burger and broccoli crumbs at the bottom of the bags that- -under oath--I'd have to call powder.

Am I a survivalist? Do I qualify?
