Welcome to SS. Glad you are off grid. Wish that I was. I am like hoosier-not enough wind, too much shade and no body of running water handy. :welcome

Are you using Bless your heart in the "funny Southern sayings" way?.... :lau 'Cause we all know what that means, God Love you. Now to return to our regularly scheduled topic. My Kroger will put pasta on sale 2X a year for about $.48/pound usually in the fall. I really stock up then.

I think if you look at the servings per can of the EE eggs vs. Augason Farms, the EE works out to be cheaper. IMO. Those buggers are expensive. I have a few cans in case someone steals my chickens! :barnie

Kala- you are so right. Time for Mr. Roo to go to freezer camp. There are too many roos out there who can behave. Good Luck doing the deed. ;)

i_am2bz- I wasn't disagreeing with you at all. Most politicians (all?) don't have the spine to do what needs to be done. We have made running for office such a circus that good folks, like Mitch Daniels, won't put his family through the wringer. You are right about the people getting...

Yep, when the "more for free" bunch stops getting their "check" they will riot in the streets. I think that until the sacared cow of entitlements is addressed, you cannot fix the deficit. There is a great video with pennies and govt spending. As wasteful as some of these programs and grants...

And there is truly no such thing as bad pound cake!

So just how hot IS it in Maine? My DH & I wanted to take a trip up there sometime- BUT not if its HOT. We have had enough of that thank you very much.

Well, I did go out today and stocked up on more first aid supplies and bought 4 more oil lamps & oil. Some more sugar to can fruit if need be. Let's see- some washing soda, fels naptha soap, and vineger. I bought 5 boxes of my favorite animal cookies. Yum, Yum. I have been meaning to get...

This is a very interesting thread. I guess that I am interested in being SS, because I feel that someday in the not so distant future, things are gonna change A LOT. If I had to make a distinction between prepper and ss, I would come down on the side of being a prepper. My dream in life is to...

Barred Buff- If you are friends with any MDs or Dentists, etc you may want to see if they can write you and your family some scripts for a range of antibiotics, steriods, an epi-pen. I also have some quik clot to stop bleeding. I also stocked a lice comb, mouse traps and pool shock to...

It is tough- DH & I are both executives who feel like we have a foot in two worlds- one populated by airheads that can't understand why we live in a smaller house, drive older cars etc and all the true ss folks out there who have the land and time to be completely self sufficient. We have a...

I am starting to get pretty worried about this. Even though my family recieves no money from the government directly, it sounds as though the debt ceiling/spending mess would have such a huge ripple effect that everyone would be affected to some extent. It makes me want to run out and stock up...

I did some green peppers and green beans. I think dehydrating is awesome. It takes up so much less room than cans. In the solar area there is a great thread about solar dehydrators. I may have to build one of those once I get the chicken coop roofed.

k0xxx- where did you order your oven from? The cardboard box one is OK, but not terribly heavy duty. edited to correct spelling.

I have used a homemade one and I did set it on concrete so it would get hotter. I don't think that it would spontaneously combust. However, with the summer we have had, who knows?

I fear that if the fools in DC don't get their act together, we all may be finding out sooner rather than later.

If you have very young children, they are really important. Very high fevers can be very dangerous to infants.

I agree that these are the best- pretty cheap and safe.
