Downloading the austere medicine info while I’m typing – thank you Corsaire. That’s enough for my prep today as physical therapy today was “tell me when to stop” as he stretched my arm in lots of painful positions for an hour and I left feeling pretty beat up. I am still on passive exercises only.
Hieronyma Textor 1) thanks for info on cheese kits, I will check them out. 2)when we lived off grid I would frequently make an extra large batch of cereal (oatmeal, grits etc) and then turn that into he main dish for a meal later on that day – oat burgers, tamale loaf (grits & seasoned beans and “enchilada sauce”) rice pudding etc. I had a lot of waterproof tupperware and in the summertime would store food in them and then have my children put it in “the refrigerator”- a plastic crate with a lid and a heavy rock in the bottom of it in the creek. In cooler weather we used the pantry with small openings at the top and bottom of the outside wall. The warm air would escape and cool mountain air came in the bottom. Depending on the temperature the “perishable” food went on the floor or on lower to medium shelves. In the winter we closed the vents as it was very cold outside andmy produce would freeze if I left them open. I was able to keep “refrigerated” food safely for a couple of days. I just always needed to be aware of what I had and plan my meals around what I had in the “cooler” It was a different kind of menu planning than I had done before but I am more aware of things now because of that experience.
