I said “curd cheese” but I meant “cottage cheese” I haven’t made real cheese.

Everyone needs to try the processes and products that they consider a part of their survival plan,

Not many of us are in the position to make them part of our routine life, but it is fun to try them out, for instance having some friends over for a wine party while everyone helps in a shared, first time canning experience, or trying out the wheat grinder and making a few loaves of homemade bread for all the participants to take home.

Come to think of it, perhaps ‘prepper parties’ are a good idea. Parties where friends try out the mysterious processes that a lot of modern females have not experienced, such as sprouting and wheat grinding, and making bread from scratch, people can show up with their various devices for comparison and trying out.

People have a tendency to read about something and then think that they have experienced it, that they know it, but that is inadequate.

Having your friends over to show them what wheat berries look like, feel like, to let them see that they actually exist and are available to city dwelling know nothings, and letting them grind them in your grinder, and then help you bake the bread, wins a lot of converts, and it is an incredible bonding experience for friends.

Prepper Parties!

What a cute idea. And much more fun than tupperware parties or other such things.

Only problem is, I don’t want to let too many people know I’m prepping. The only ones that know right now are just a couple that I’m sure are prepping themselves.
