This is your ping to the All Things Prepping, Simple Living, Back to the Basics [a place to come sit on the porch and chat, an on going thread]

This week's topic is Recipes at Post 681

If you want off/on this list, just let me know.

Perhaps the FReepers on your thread might find this interesting:

Some thoughts on reasons for prepping and how much to prep.

We are having a simple Thanksgiving - just Turkey Sandwiches and some sides. It’s just the four of us, and we’d all rather watch Football, take naps, work puzzles or crochet, anyway. ;)

I will be contributing my Bloody Mary Mix, which I can each season from fresh garden produce. Just add Vodka and of course green olives. Lots of green olives. And a celery stalk. Maybe a dill pickle? The choices are endless. :)

Yesterday I made a BIG Crock Pot of Lintel Soup. No recipe. I just threw in what I wanted.

1 chopped medium yellow onion- saute to carmelize
2 carrots cut into small pieces - add to onions after they are slightly carmelized
2-3 small stalks of celery cut into small pieces - add to saute
2 tablespoons of minced garlic - add
Salt & pepper to taste

After above has sauted for a while, throw in crockpot

Then I added 3 fair sized yellow potatoes cut in small pieces
Add little smokies. Beef or pork. I like pork cut in small pieces. However many you want
1 package of lintels 16oz washed
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can salsa tomatoes. If don't have add a few pepper flacks and another can of chopped tomatoes
2 cans of low sodium chicken broth
2 cans of water

You may have to adjust the amout of liquid so as to not overfill your crockpot.
Salt and pepper some more to taste.
I cooked on high for 7 to 8 hours as my lintels were a bit crunchy before then.
