Pedialyte For A Survival Situation
So, I was in South Florida on business last week. I had to take clients out to dinner, and had the opportunity to see some friends. Admittedly, I knew I was going to be consuming amounts of alcohol over the course of the week that were higher than normal for me. In doing this I […]
Lessons in Preserving Meats and Poultry
This past labor day weekend, a buddy and I went camping. Not like real camping, however, in the woods with no facilities, and no one around for miles, but to a piece of property his family owns that he will likely use as a Bug Out Location. It has a 5th Wheel on it, as […]
Talk about Senate Bill 510 or S510
There has been a lot of chatter about Senate Bill 510 recently, and I do not see much reporting on it. What I do see is a lot of rumor and innuendo about it, and I have to be honest, that I must do more in depth research myself. However, in light of recent chatter […]
Why I Write About Cooking and Food
I, like many others in our country, are VERY accustomed to just getting in the car, going to the grocery store and picking up our food for the week. Honestly, I grew up this way. While many of my friends and their families ran farms, I was a middle class kid with parents that worked, […]
I Tried Making Butter, and It Was A Disaster
Well, I tried making some homemade butter. And, maybe disaster was the wrong word… Apparently, my biggest mistake was using heavy cream that was “ultra pasteurized.” It turned out like flat whipped cream sludge. It probably could have been used as a prop in a movie for some sort of plasma.
Smoked Turkey Update, Turkey Is Smoked and Resting Before Dinner
Well, the Smoked Turkey experiment is almost done. We are fully smoked, and the picture to the left is the turkey as I unplugged the smoker. I took the temperature, and it seemed good to me by sticking the thermometer in the thigh of the turkey. The turkey is resting in the smoker right now off heat […]
Food Prices at Walmart Are Out of Control
Well, I have to rant for a moment. I walked into a Walmart the other day, and honestly, I don’t like doing that. I went through the food section, thinking I would pick up a few items, and I was appalled. What happened to the prices there? They went through the roof. The yellow smiley face […]
Eating Healthier for a Better Life
I just read a blog post on Doctor Prepper this morning ab0ut healthier eating. I try to eat healthy, but if you saw me eat on a business trip, you might think I was addicted to steaks or a junk food junkie. Sad but true. I can say that I probably gain a couple of […]
Going to Buy Some #10 Cans of Food for Storage and Use.
I have been researching food for storage. However, I have been researching food for storage that I will actually use, because I do not want to waste any money on buying food that will just sit in the can or container and get no use at all. It just seems like a waste of money […]
Goals for the Weekend.
This is more a personal post than anything else… I have had a long week. Traveled on business, and along with traveling for business came business dinners, entertaining, etc. I am really tired, and could have slept until Saturday morning from last evening; or at least that is how it feels. I could go to […]
