The Shortage, Are You Preparing?

We used a pre-made base, so there was no actual cooking, just melting/mixing/pouring. She added essential oils that are beneficial for our needs. In another batch, she added crushed herbs.

Get a bottle of nitrogen from a welding supply house. Attach a regulator setting it for just a couple of pounds. Then just a little puff by a rubber hose at the bottom under the food is all it takes to flush all the moisture and oxygen out before you vacuum seal the bag.
They do something similar for potato chips but no vacuum seal.

Nitrogen makes up 80% of the air we breathe...so if you begin to get dizzy...stop and open a window. This isn't stuff to do in a closet.

Oops....uh...... I only could eat 6...
There's leftovers but they don't look as pretty.
They really needed bacon bits.

I also should have fried them in two batches instead of one in my 14" frypan. But I was in a hurry. (Fry them in plenty of butter)

So maybe next time for the pic....

oh... we're back to talking pirogues, not soap.....

I need to go back and work on my pillow...........bless you all.

We have an Amish community near here with a a great store selling bulk foods and such, they have 25lb and bigger bags of dry beans , rice, etc.
I am tempted by the bag of Garbanzo's, I heard a couple ladies speaking of combinations of grains and/or beans that can provide complete proteins, but don't recall right now, a good subject to research.
It seems dried egg powder would be a good source and very reasonable.

Considering the circumstances, I can't blame you lol Good food never lasts long around me either!

Hey AOC the socialist paradise is here

the Chinese Communist Weaponized Virus attack upon the world and the U.S.A. specifically has led to this.

The Debt Slave model

Wow, I'm surprised people are still here. lol I've been picking up cold meds and thinking in that direction now. I don't have any pill that I have to take, but my parents and hubby do. That's worrying me a little. Anyone seeing any shortage in your stores?

Not here. I don't get out and about much, by choice, could easily become a hermit! Especially with iceberg season coming!

Grocery store shelves have huge holes in them. Lots of stuff is missing and fresh meat is rather pricey lately.

Like seedless raspberry jam is missing
Coffee isn't missing yet but expect shortages by spring.

Wisconsin has a LOT of Amish communitires, would be great to check them out for bargains on bulk supplies,
A lot of livestock is sold in the fall to cut down on chores, picking up a quarter of beef or a hog and cutting it up could help the budget a lot.

Sort of, there is still plenty of food at the grocery store, however, there are also a lot of things missing. The selection is very skimpy. Vegetables which are grown in the US are not really showing any shortages.

True wholesale meat is a chunk of money.
A hog usually dresses out to 80lbs but a quarter head of beef is at least triple that and around twice the price.

Just saying....
Grain prices have an inverse relationship with meat prices up to a point...then it can cause all kinds of havoc. And right now it's cheaper to actually get a whole live one and do it all yourself.
In the country, where deer processing is common....it's possible to make a deal with all of this. Someone who has a truck and trailer and someone else who processes the meat...

Currently feeder heads (cattle heading to the feed lots) are more expensive than live Cattle (cattle coming off feed lots) per pound.

That's solely because the processing facilities are backed up.

Knowing someone who has a feed lot is a handy thing currently....and if I was living where I would like...I'd be making it all happen.

Get a live cow and "do it all yourself"?! Are you secretly promoting people to become Vegans?

Shortage in UK of food recently 😀

The Hits keep coming


wow, just when you thought you had seen the bottom
