Saturday - Day 6: Everyday Emergency - DINNER GUESTS!

***EASTVALE 1 WARD MEMBERS - IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SUNDAY’S CHALLENGE:
We will be testing our Ward Emergency Plan on Sunday. We want you to get the full effect of Sunday’s challenge, so make sure to check your email Saturday night after 8 pm.

Your spouse calls and announces their boss is coming over for dinner (or your boss invites themselves over for dinner TONIGHT!). You have no WAY to go to the store, and you have to come up with an impressive meal from what you already have in your home.

DAILY LIMITATIONS AND TASKS:
•For this day, and ALL days of the challenge: no spending money, no going to stores, and no restaurants.
•You can use whatever food you have in your house (includes fridge, freezer).
•The meal has to have an appetizer.
•The main course can’t use meat because the boss is a vegetarian (your meal CAN use milk, and dairy).
•You have to have at least 2 side dishes for the dinner.
•The meal has to have a dessert.
•You have to get other family members to help you make the meal and or set the table “NICELY” (share your pictures on Facebook).
•Brainstorm what other types of “everyday” emergencies you may have, and how you could better prepare for them.

ADVANCED REQUIREMENTS (for anyone who feels up to it)
•You only have 1 hour from when you start to finish making the meal

REMEMBER, TOMORROW’S LIMITATIONS AND TASKS WILL BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. How long would you have lasted under these conditions? Do you have a wide variety of food items stored?

The goal with the 7 Day Challenge is to explore and evaluate how prepared we are for whatever emergencies may come our way. Try to participate to the EXTENT POSSIBLE with your entire family. It is okay to modify the scenario to fit the needs/schedule/circumstances of your family. And, if the most that you can do on a given day is walk through the scenario in your head and discuss it with your family – that’s ok! Anything is better than nothing!
Please make sure to:
*Fill out the Data Form on a Daily basis.
*Log onto www.EastvalePrepared.blogspot.com and answer the questions and leave comments. This will help us to analyze and understand the results of the 7 Day Challenge (everyone should do this - even if you are not a member of our ward, and even if you just walk through the scenario in your head).
*Participate in the ongoing discussion on Facebook (Eastvale Prepared). Share pictures, your experience, thoughts, ideas, and insights. Let’s learn from each other!
