I have been busy the past few days with prepping. I cleaned out the freezers and dehydrated my frozen fruit from summer into leathers. They aren’t the best ones I’ve ever made, but I didn’t expect them to be. I also read a few chapters in my old Mary Bell dehydrating book and I learned that I can make zucchini powder, beet powder and potpourri from my dead flowers. I really hate waste so I will continue to use up whats in the house and I have been trying to find other uses for foods and items past their use by date. I made homemade chicken soup from a carcass I pressure cooked the other day. I also added a few half gallons of bleach to my stockpile. Today I didn’t get much accomplished because we all have a cold. I was really surprised when I went to my medicine stockpile and I couldn’t find anything for the kids that wasn’t expired. I cleaned it out over the summer but I forgot to keep tally as to what needed to be replaced for fall and spring sickness season. That is now on my to do list. Between the family, prepping and nursing school I could seriously use a vacation.
