Since this is Thanksgiving week, I thought we could share some recipes. They don’t have to be made from food storage items, only if you want to share a recipe like that, anything goes! I’ll start with this one. However I’ve never actually made it so….

But I have made the one I shared recently, the pie crust made with shortening powder.

I’d also like to hear if anybody wants to review a recipe, if there’s something that just didn’t work out at all or you have a better way to do it.

Pancake Mix - add 1/2 cup water to 1 cup mix
• 2 cups Flour
• 1/2 cup Milk Powder
• 1/3 cup Malted Milk Powder
• 1/3 cup Powdered Buttermilk
• 1/4 cup Whole Egg Powder
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Good thread for the holidays.

Also, remember that at this time of year, many baking supplies go on sale at the grocery stores. It’s a good time to stock up on what you might want for the year.

I would like to buy (or find at thrift stores) some oil lamps for indoor use when the power goes out. Any advice on the best ones out there and what brand of lamp oil burns the best without smoking?

I used to have a bunch of them for ‘ambiance’ when I had an old Victorian-style home, but lost them somewhere along the way.

Thanks! (I know about/shop at Lehman’s on-line.)
