Comment on Emergency Heating / Cooling by Dan R

For my winter needs I keep a portable propane heater handy. I bought a Mr. Heater for 75.00 and keep 6 canisters on standby. each can lasts about 6 hours on low. Also has a built in low oxygen sensor. Also remember, a car can also be a generator, My ford truck will go for 3 days on idle with a full tank, My Civic will do 3 times that on half the gas. Pick up a 300 watt inverter at you local hardware store for under 50 bucks and plug in the fans. They won’t run a heater, but 2 box fans and a couple CFL’s will lost a long time. Make sure you check you cars temp regularly. It only needs to run when the battery is needs a charge.

As a general rule, unopened home canned foods have a shelf life of one year and should be used before 2 years. (Info from the Utah State Extension service)

I haven’t tried that. It would be worth a try

Would it turn out the same to use hard white white instead of spelt? Have you tried that?

My sister sent me this post, great substitute suggestion! I don’t have a wheat grinder but will have to find a way; I look forward to trying this. Thanks!

I liked the texture of it when I cooked it first quite a bit better. I know my manual says you can do it either way though!

FYI one does not have to pre-cook the hamburger.

Comment on Shelf Stable Recipes: Peanut Butter Bread by Jodi and Julie

Each recipe would be shelf stable as long as the shelf life of the ingredient with the shortest shelf life. So if something in the recipe had a shelf life of 1 year you could expect that that recipe would have a one year shelf life. Does that make sense?

It might not be healthy for anyone to try to take it from me.
