You have set an example that is impressive. So feel good about yourself! You've done a good thing. So this is your heads up!

Prepare With Me: Freezing Without Blanching
http://preparewithme.blogspot.com/2011/07/freezing-without-blanching.html
Friday, July 29, 2011. Canning is the preferable way (in my opinion) to preserve fresh fruits and veggies from the garden. Sometimes, though, I only get a few things out of the garden and it just doesn't seem worthwhile to can up 8 tomatoes, ya know? So in cases like that, I opt to freeze. Freezing is not a long-term solution because "what if the power goes out? So what foods can you do that with and how do you do it? Don't even wash your blueberries! Slice them, bag them, label and freeze! Wash, slice a...

Prepare With Me: March 2011
http://preparewithme.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 13, 2011. The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah.". President Ezra Taft Benson. Think back to the story of Noah's Ark. How many people survived that tremendous flood? Only those who were obedient and followed Noah into the ark- which were very very few. Once the rains came and the doors of the ark closed, how many people "saw the light? The prophets have said to plant a garden.

Prepare With Me: Using Emergency Bandages
http://preparewithme.blogspot.com/2011/08/using-emergency-bandages.html
Sunday, August 7, 2011. The important thing to remember when using an emergency / trauma bandage is to keep it tight so it can help control bleeding. The illustration above shoes some different ways to tie it for this purpose. It doesn't have to be pretty,.it DOES have to be effective. Practicing tying this type of bandage might make a great family home evening activity sometime! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Want to link to me?

Prepare With Me: Are you preparing your MIND too?
http://preparewithme.blogspot.com/2011/06/are-you-preparing-your-mind-too.html
Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Are you preparing your MIND too? Food storage has been drilled into our minds. We know we need to collect those staples that will keep us alive if/when things go haywire in our economy. We also know we need to store non-perishables and sanitary items and water and clothing and other things that help with survival. All of these things will take care of us IF that's all that goes wrong. But there is more you can do! And I learned today that you can't start learning it too soon!

Prepare With Me: Yeast from Scratch?
http://preparewithme.blogspot.com/2012/01/yeast-from-scratch.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Yeast doesn't store forever, so what have YOU done to ensure you have plenty of yeast for your baking needs? Perhaps you have a 1-year supply, but what about a 2-year supply of yeast? Are you depending on your refrigerator and electricity to maintain the quality of your yeast? Have you even THOUGHT about this subject before? Honestly, I haven't! And read it thoroughly! Are you currently storing yeast that comes from wheat? If you don't know, shouldn't you know?

Prepare With Me: February 2011
http://preparewithme.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 20, 2011. Where are your 3-month supplies? Tonight I attended my meeting at the stake center for the ward emergency preparedness coordinators. One thing that was brought to my attention is a question asked from our stake representative: Where are you with your Food Storage? I have items stored. How long will the items I've stored last? Do I know what to do with the things I've got? I've got a can of freeze-dried bell peppers. What in the world will I do with that? Why are we storing food?

Prepare With Me: May 2011
http://preparewithme.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. My personal opinion is that from time to time (perhaps once per year) it is a good idea to take a personal inventory of your storage items. How far you take it is certainly up to you, but DO it. How else will you know if you've got enough to survive 3 days? You might find you have weak areas or that you've completely overlooked certain items. Having a chance to take care of those things when there is no real emergency is definitely preferable! Do you have flour/sugar/wheat? Do you...

Sunday, June 26, 2011. And slipping those skins off was too fun! I imagined what it might be like if we dipped a little brother or sister into boiling water and then ice water. Would their skin slip off that easily? Such memories. sweet memories. Grandmaw and Paw are no longer with us. Mama and Daddy live in another state. Aunt Thomasene has a different life now. My memories continue though. It was someone I had known in the Douglasville ward, so that was really cool! I don't know how that happened!
