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 didn’t realize you had an orange & white cat. Do you still have it? Love the watermellon lipstick on her or is it a him?

Haha I thought that was staged! I saw that but didn’t think it was real. Oh my - that is funny.

Hi Spunky....

That guy sure gets some nice, clear video. I like to see what Washington looks like - never been there, and quite sure I never will.

Imagine having homeless camps so close to the beautiful buildings and architecture of Washington. Shame.

That’s a very good idea. I will tell my daughter - she is good at sniffing out stuff like that, and knows more about them than I do.

I must say, it was interesting to watch her pack dehydrated carrots and other veggies in those Mylar bags today. They just sat there and all of the air got sucked out of them, or into them, or wherever it goes, until they looked vacuum sealed. Fascinating.

A day late. :-( But I did give you a whole month at the beginning of the month to celebrate. Did you get ALL those things on your wish list?

I like all the cute little bite marks in the watermelon, behind when it shows his red lips.

“*BUMP* Pollard’s Prepping Library is terrific!”

It is. I think it should be a topic of its own. I’ll put it on the list.

I need some help with dinner tonight. I peed a few people I thought might cook but anybody please answer.

I have some ground beef out but I want something besides the usual. The usual is tacos & other mexican, spaghetti sauce, hamburgers. Ive already done and redone those. Although I do have some beautiful big juicy tomatoes from the garden that need using up. So hamburgers might be the default

Lol I gather you “pinged” them. If you actually peed them, little wonder you’re getting no response.

Hamburger, hamburger, let me think.

You could always look up the Trump favorite meatloaf recipe and make it a conversation starter as well.

OTOH, if you don’t know your guests, a Trump meatloaf could also start a food fight....so that might work as well!

I think I’d go with the Trump Meatloaf and then you can use the opportunity to make sure that great president gets a few more votes. That’s my final answer.

Oops, that was a bad typo! And here I have a resolution that I’m going to do better at proofreading.

Oh goodness...I’m hankering for a juicy hamburger! Lettuce, tomato, mayo, strip of bacon. Can’t beat it.

It’s just me and hubby, nobody else to impress. He’s been gone for 4 days and I’ve been having popcorn and ice cream for dinner. It’s been really nice and I’m having a hard time getting back to thinking about normal meals.

I will check out the Trump meatloaf, plus the 25 suggestions. Thank you!
