If Prepping Was a Sitcom, What’s the Opening Scene?

The show opens with someone frantically rotating a can rotator, yelling, “Who ate the last can of Spam?” Meanwhile, the family dog’s wearing a tinfoil hat. What would your sitcom’s cold open be? Gotta admit, mine includes a ham radio CQ call gone comically wrong!

Scene opens with me, knee-deep in buckets, arguing with a rebellious sourdough starter that’s somehow escaped its jar (again). Grandkids run by wearing makeshift hazmat suits made out of garbage bags, declaring it’s “spore containment day.” Meanwhile, the neighbor pops over the fence to borrow sugar and ends up getting a lecture on rainwater filtration. Anyone else’s garden gnomes “disappear” during night ops?
