$300 to provide a basic one year supply of food for a family 4! Sounds wonderful, doesn't it!? For some reason, this recipe, and variations of it, often called Bean Soup, seems to make the rounds of preparedness groups/forums/email lists every few years, and since I've now had it sent to me 3 times in … Continue reading A Year’s Supply of Food – Scotch Broth
Emergency Preparedness
My thoughts on various aspects of emergency preparedness as well as shares of good articles I find from others.
You Built a Wala-what-i?!?
Imagine with me, if you will, a scene in Idaho, a beautiful mountain valley, part of the Snake River channel. It's the dead of winter. The snow is almost 4' deep on the ground. The river has been completely frozen over for more than a month because the daytime temperatures haven't made it above -10 … Continue reading You Built a Wala-what-i?!?
Whole Wheat Sourdough French Bread
This bread is our absolute favorite. It's quite a bit of work, and not a speedy bread, but it's well worth it! And, fwiw, the work is broken up into short segments. What's not to love about sourdough anything? If you have good sourdough starter, you don't need yeast, and it lends a very pleasant … Continue reading Whole Wheat Sourdough French Bread

There Couldn’t Be Any Contention In The World…
if everyone had food like this. That was my cherished husband's comment as he ate dinner this evening. It was a simple dinner... an omelet made with eggs from our chickens, left over vegetables from our garden that I had cooked last night, herbs from the garden, and cheese plus fresh corn on the cob … Continue reading There Couldn’t Be Any Contention In The World…
I Goofed on Earlier “Great News” Post

So, here is the actual data as a screenshot direct from the CDC and including their web address And if that's too small for you to read, … Continue reading I Goofed on Earlier “Great News” Post
Summer Veggie Delight
What do you do when the garden is "squashing" you nearly to death? Mix it up! This simple garden delight consisted of half a baked spaghetti squash, half an onion - chopped, 2 sliced and quartered zuchinni, and 3 tomatoes sliced into thin wedges, all cooked lightly in a bit of olive oil. And yes, … Continue reading Summer Veggie Delight
Spaghetti Squash-a-dilla
I baked a large spaghetti squash from the garden the other day. It was too much for the two of us to eat in even two meals, so, I got a little creative and added some of it to some cheese quesadillas. Easy as can be, and we both loved 'em! Fry a corn tortilla, … Continue reading Spaghetti Squash-a-dilla
Of Infrastructure, Generations, School, and Families
What could those four, seemingly unrelated things have to do with each other sufficient to make a single blog post combining all of them? I received an email this morning containing a copy of an article written and published last October 2019 by Victor Davis Hanson that makes several salient points and asks a couple … Continue reading Of Infrastructure, Generations, School, and Families

I haven't seen or heard anything in the news about this warning from DHS that came out 8 days ago, but I think it's very important so sharing a link. Those who are willing to learn about risks and consider how they could respond will appreciate it. If you don't want to know about risks, … Continue reading DHS Warning
