By the way, we're heavily into books and always on the lookout for more information. We collect (and use) a fairly extensive library on cooking. More and more, we're looking for early cook books, depression era and WWII rationing recipes. Living cheaply and frugally doesn't mean to go without, just not continuously in lavish style. Yesterday I scored a cool pamplet on "55 Ways to Save Eggs" from 1923.

I consider these things helpful for daily living - and vital for a time when systems mightfail.

I am with you on the need for local supply.

I am really shocked that this Chineese food/poison is not a campaign issue.

Here is an experiment I did.

I threw out some leftover store bought bread for the birds...they would not touch it.

I threw out a the remains of a loaf I made...the birds went crazy tearing it apart to eat it.

I think it is the preservatives.

Can you answer this question...

I hear that if you eat honey made right near where you live, then you will have less allergies to the things around you....have you heard this?

I want to get a hive but I think the houses are too close to gether here. Intend to check with the town.
