I still haven’t heard from DC. Good news is that I told a couple friends. One offered me several cast iron pans. She called them ancient. I called them awesome and will pickup next time in Pennsylvania. Another friend offered me her manual pasta maker. They don’t know I prep and think I am just experimenting with the “rustic life”. Lol.
At least I put my frustration to good use.
Everytime I go down into the laundry room I smile. My artwork is awesome! I needed the practice. I have added going to the range to my calendar.
@oldmtwoman. I understand your issue with thinking you lost something on the computer, that’s what lead to my multiple posts here. My cell phone service, even with booster, is spotty. Hence, my multiple posts.
@AmyDixon. We lose our power here all the time, that’s why I heat primarily with my wood stove. I have about 3-4 years worth of wood. I am also learning to cook on it. One of my neighbors gave me done great tips on cooking and the use of wood ash, but if anyone has some tips I would love to hear the tips. So far, I’ve used the wood ash as a replacement for rock salt (wood ash doesn’t hurt my pups feet) and baking soda in the fridge.
I am on the hunt for a dehydrator, so thanks for all the tips.
I am definitely making that ketchup recipe. I will add some spice to it and experiment.
Last night I made an excellent mushroom soup with Sherry and thyme. I have a small herb garden, but I am going to expand it. I have lots of vinegars in my stockpile, but I am adding some more and definitely some sherry.
