Why the instant crap^Wversions? Get the real stuff instead.

The problem is, in Florida "cool, dark and airy" is hard to come by...humidity is usually at 70%, and even in the winter, the temps are 80 or above...plus, palmetto bugs and roaches are atrocious (which is going to be a big battle with all the trash from the canned goods anyway *sigh*). The reason I chose instant stuff, especially rice, is that they take less water than the real thing. Also, the canned veggies and beans have water already in them which I can use in food preparation. Root veggies don't stand a chance in the FL climate...they either sprout or rot rapidly, and are a bug magnet. Wolfmother, are you out there? I was hoping you'd have some ideas for the uniquely Trimarian problems I'll encounter... Thanks for the water ideas Puck and Phlip, I added them to my files. FL water is pretty nasty even straight from the tap...swamp water with chlorine added. The pet bowls get a scum on the bottom of them overnight. I planned to have bleach on-hand, but shock might even be cheaper in the long run, and it's definitely available in Florida!
