Oh, wow, I have a coffee can with a tight fitting lid. I pour the 4 or 5 pound can into the can. If it doesn’t run out, I put one of those bread ties really tight on the sugar bag just until it goes down enough for the rest to fit. I’d never want the possibility of a roach, an ant, a fly or any other kind of a bug when I can’t see or hear them there. Yucky! Well, if that volume 3 ever crawls out of the shed, let me know, I could probably do it all within a week or so, unless I get really busy fast. I must have had Volumes 1 and 2 about 20 years and they are still on one of the shelves in my basement.

Unfortunately, it is out in our shed, as we now live in a home that is too small for a bookshelf. Can you imagine? Sooo frustrating! Anyway, some of the recipes are good. But there is a tip in there I think is just nuts! Well, many may be, but this one, if you have ants, put your sugar bowl on a paper plate and sprinkle ant powder onto the plate so the ants won't get into the sugar. Well, ants literally send me screaming, so I can't deal. But, really??? Put ant poison onto a paper plate that you will touch as you get into the sugar bowl? Um, I don't think so!
