All Things Prepping, Simple Living, Back to the Basics [Survival Today, an on going thread]
CottonBall

Posted on 09/16/2023 3:07:53 PM PDT by CottonBall

This is an ongoing thread – meaning come back to chat, post information, or ask questions any time. Hopefully the thread won’t stagnate and I’ll do better at posting weekly (or bi-weekly) topics than I have in the past. (anyone willing to post a topic now and then we'll be highly praised and appreciated).

We are in for some bumpy rides, and prepping can only help. If for peace of mind, if nothing else. We have a wonderful gardening thread and a current-events survival/prepping thread, and hopefully this one can piggyback off of those, maybe having a longer discussion about certain topics or … whatever. It's your thread, do what you like with it! (civilly, of course)

Here are granny’s threads, if anyone wants to peruse them:

I’ve always preferred russet to waxy potatoes in most things. except the Toscano soup where they need to hold up with multiple reheating. Russets make potato salad nice and creamy. I let a few potatoes sit in the hot water Abita lo ger

Hope nobody minds that in between the educational portion of this thread we will have our entertainment interludes.

Lol Canadian winters is right. Not looking forward to this one as I won’t be schooling the young one. I’ll have to find something useful to do!

We had a great time - just got back. We played a few rounds of cornhole and it started raining....fine with me, it’s jammie time anyway!

Weird....I couldn’t post this because it could not find anybody named ansell2. You really are off the grid, ansell!

That cat in the “hate what others enjoy” pic looks exactly like the farm cat. Such a crab he is.

I boil the potatoes whole, rub off the skin, and then refrigerate them overnight before cutting them into cubes, it gives them a nice texture.

Yes, collected over the years, including some of the same AZ Granny content as here but from another forum. You may remember our back and forth? I have a newer ping list that combines yours with never additions. I’ll PM you with it.

Allways ready for some intertainment.

I have spent the day coloring in pictures I drew of the outside of my daughters house. Only way to get an idea of what some different colors would look like. I drew it once then copied it.

That is an amazing amount of information! What a great asset to have - I’m forwarding it to my prepping chief. Thanks for assembling and sharing!
