We have an extra freezer full of meat because we get butchered hogs and steer family raises or extra 4 - h animals we butcher because they can only auction 2 animals per kid , but i keep canned meat too thinking , yup , what if power fails. At least the gas works when the electric ity goes out...
Yes, my noni (italian gran) makes this but the recipe we use for that has salt pork and beans in it , I wasnt sure what to include and what to leave out , if mush needed any different seasonings. We always eat our polenta with melted cheese on it .
I've been telling the hubby and kids that bad times are coming for about the last year and a half, just felt the need to be ready for it which is why we keep a full pantry , heirloom seeds now instead of hybrids and part of the reason we got the girls for eggs. I've always canned and gardened...

Our pear tree was so full this year a big limb broke off and a friends peach tree did the same, split almost in half . I was blaming that on the massive rains we had this year though . We had so much rain we had a flooded basement :(
In the kitchen I only use them when I fry bacon, french fries or some such to absorb grease or for placing hot cookies on to cool. When I'm not using them I HIDE the buggars or the hubby and kids would go thru a roll every couple days.
Diva paper towels are my favorite though, when I have...
I'm a fake tree person too , because I'm allergic to pine. I can't decorate a real one because I get hives everywhere it touches me and I wheeze nonstop if it's in the house :( . Thye are prettier and smell better , I just can't hack them though.
