“...how manufactured and jacked up our food supply is.”

Yep. If you do some research on it, it’s pretty d@mn scary! What passes for, ‘food’ is downright diabolical!

We are trying to be more self-sufficient, now that we’re both retired and have more time to grow a veggie garden, raise critters for meat, keeping laying hens again, learning to make cheese, canning salsa and jams, etc.

Of course, Beau is a HUGE hunter and for Christmas we bought one another rods & reels and basic fishing tackle. We have friends that own boats and LOVE to show them off; we may as well take advantage of that!

We’re also shopping more at our local teeny-tiny General Store. They have the BEST cheeses, bacon and meats, bar none. All local. We also use a local butcher for our beef.

I have some Sourdough Starter perking away. Tuesday is Bread Baking Day; it’s getting to be the best day of the week! :)

Short of eating, just smelling baking day is worth much. We have been buying bread from “Great Harvest Bread Company” for years to supplement home baked.
