Hi, everybody!!! It’s so good to see many of you from last month’s challenge participating in the continuation daily prepping or the new challenge of doing everything from scratch. And, really great to see some new names joining the challenge this month: a shout out to Angelrose 2018, Beyond Blessed, Anne Baker, and Molly Malone to name a few I noticed.
OldMtWoman – you never fail to make me laugh! I spent a couple of years in a non-winterized cabin, so I know exactly whereof you speak; but, I was not in a part of the country where sub-zero temps had to be endured. I like that you have a way to check in and out with someone when you’re out of phone range. I wear an apron with pockets where I keep my phone with me even here in the house.
Hieronyme Textor – thanks for keeping us posted concerning the challenges you all are facing as a family.
Jesse Jones – noticed you are now coping alone; I think you will enjoy this group. I’m also not planning to spend any money beyond my fixed monthly expensives as part of the January Challenge. If I don’t have something I’m going to do without or as my mother taught me, “make do” with something else. Of course, I immediately think of all the things I want to purchase for my prepping efforts, so I won’t have to go cold turkey….
Anyhow, yesterday and today I’m taking inventory of all the fresh stuff in the refrig and planning menus that will use these things first or figure out a way to preserve in freezer if need be. Number two son came by today to finish off the kickin’ collards.
Open toothpaste tube is running low and though I have extra in pantry, I’m going to try to create a substitute for that. Hoping I can find a recipe that won’t taste too bad.
Hopefully we’ll hear from OldMansd soon…I’m curious how his indoor gardening is getting on….
