People have become too used to a fast-food, disposable and easily available lifestyle so it sounds "out there" to so many people when the idea of "preparing" is mentioned to them.<br />It's like toilet paper...the time to buy it is before you run out :Dezrabluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938990830254680085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-38357761892671266712011-01-20T10:51:27.148-06:002011-01-20T10:51:27.148-06:00Hey Adrianna! sounds like ya'll are doing good...Hey Adrianna! sounds like ya'll are doing good! this challenge going on describes how best to rotate your stock and all that, so that is one other reason I wanted to do it. I have been planting and saving only heirloom or open pollinated seeds myself and want to dry more foods too, so as to not depend so much on the freezer.<br /><br />Hey Jenn! Great! thanks for the link! yes, I love red beans and rice! I will definitely have lots of those.<br /><br />Hey Philip! I have not read those books but they sound very interesting. I will try to locate them! thanks!!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-42265355274072040772011-01-20T09:36:24.983-06:002011-01-20T09:36:24.983-06:00If do not know of them you should read the books b...If do not know of them you should read the books by Scott and Helen Nearing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_and_Scott_Nearing<br /><br />They moved to the land to be self sufficient before it was popular with the hippie generation.

The red cross suggests people store water for emergency their recommended amount is 2 gallons per person per day. My new project is to buy only heirloom seeds so I can save the seeds from this years crop for next. I also learned how to build a solar dehydrator for my hopefully bountiful harvest this year.

Grenville planted some winter veggies in the greenhouse this week and will probably blog about his efforts. Also we are working hard at NOT hoarding and organzing our pantry, fridge and freezer and eating many of the veggies frozen from last year's harvest. Did too much travelling in late fall to get to them, but home (finally) for awhile.Beatrice P. Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281239556392874979noreply@blogger.com
