Best barter bets in a crisis. #6 Dog Food>>>>

Lol, My children regale each other with their tales of stealing dog bones and hiding under the bed eating them. They took turns being the thief. The first time I heard them teasing each other about these escapades, I was horrified. Now I figure they survived and I didn't know anything about it at the time-no harm, no foul.

As a matter of fact, it probably wasn't as bad as me stealing the horse grain from the grain bin in my grandfather's barn when I was little. I used to eat it by the handfuls. Guess it was the molasses in it that made it so alluring.

LOL - Boy, you are sure bringing back some memories...

We used to feed Purina Omolene - Other places just call it sweet stock feed. Just opening up a bag was the same rush of olfactory senses that you get walking by the coffee grinding section of the grocery store or opening a fresh can of coffee.

The molasses was sooooo inviting - yes I have eaten quite a bit of it myself! Don’t think I am one bit worse off for it.

Maybe that is why I use quite a bit of blackstrap molasses in my baking...
