Thanks for the thread.
My preps this week are focused on the local food specials. We had good deals on Canned vegetables, beans, tomatoes-so I bought one or two cases of each all good till sometime in 2015.
Also had good deal on sugar, so I got 24 more lbs.Got some aspirin, olive oil, coffe filters, and hot cocoa - all were on sale.
After that the focus was on bringing in the walnuts, butternuts, and hickory nuts, and persimmons to process for future use. Have a bunch of roasted peanuts that I grew just ready to snack on too. Also found out that the Native American Indians used to boil the hickory nuts to make the oil come to the top, and then skimmed it off for oil.
Just wanted to say I found the info on thermos cooking really great. I had even forgotten you could do this, and had never tried it for much other than instact rice or oatmeal etc.
So I experimented with a macaroni dish that I used to make kinda like the hamburger helper with a dash of chili flavor. It really did cook the macaroni. So fast, and such a quick clean up.
Now I’ll be hunting up all our old thermos jugs too-just to have them handy when the electric goes out-it will greatly expand the choices.
“Just wanted to say I found the info on thermos cooking really great.”
I was looking for something in a lower kitchen cabinet yesterday and there were thermoses with wide mouths I bought for thermos cooking. I need to read up on that again. I have the material to read in a folder I made for that and other info.
