Hmmm….in my part of the world the Farmer’s markets are closed for the season, and it looks like all the neighbors gardens are finished as well….my little garden efforts produced minimal things this season….so nothing is left growing outside….I have planted some turnip seeds but got them in the ground a bit late so there’re not even greens to pick…So, unless I get into my pantry stash, I could go hungry today….if this points out anything important to me is the necessity to get in a Fall garden on time so there is a continuous harvesting of something….
As far as not having grains available, we do grow corn and soybeans in my local area…the combines are busy right now so I might be able to beg a sack full of shelled corn that I could perhaps grind in my electric coffee grinder…maybe fry up some cornbread fritters the way my mother did…would be a lot of work that I’m not up to today…
I also have a cookbook for preparing grain-free meals…Danielle Walker’s AGAINST ALL GRAIN….dozens of really good and simple meals – gluten-free, dairy free and paleo compliant…but again this would require getting into my pantry….
Okay, if I’m truly out of food or access to anything edible in my neighborhood, I do have the last two cups of black cherry tomatoes from my garden on the kitchen counter…I have some basel leaves growing in a pot on window sill along with some onions I planted in the rosemary pot…so I guess I can make some sort of tomato salsa or a wee bit of soup….beyond that meal, I would be hungry thereafter
BUT, because I have been following the Organic Prepper for eight or nine months and have been building up an emergency food supply, I’m not going hungry and there’s more than enough to get me into next year’s garden produce…yeah! feels good….thanks Daisy
