I buy the nonfat dry milk, then when I reconstitute I add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream from the fridge, tastes like whole milk, then I use it or drink it.
What I like about this videos is that it reminds me of my youth when I was in my 20s and 30s raising my three daughters and we had a garden and we had chickens. Of my three daughters the middle daughter was the brave one who would go into the coop fight off the rooster and gather the eggs. They are all grown and have their own families now. wish I could do it all over again it was fun.
When believers do that to other believers, I like to remind them of the temptation of Jesus, Matthew 4 vs 1-11. Do not tempt/test God. Have you heard the joke about an old man and a flood? During a flood an old man climbed onto the roof of his house and when the water was waist high, some people waded by and tried to get the old man too join them, but he said, "no, God will save me." The water got higher. Soon two men in a boat came by and they tried to get the old man to get in the boat, but he said, "no, the Lord will save me." And the water got higher. When only the roof was sticking out of the water, a helicopter hovered over the roof and soldiers tried to get the old man to come with them, but he said, "no, I trust God to save me." The water got higher and the old man drowned. When the old man got to heaven, he ask God, " Why didn't you save me?" And God said, "I sent you a group of recusers, a boat and a helicopter, how much more did want from me?" 😊 do all you can THEN trust in Him. ❤
It looks like you are sealing 5# bags of flour ... smart! What if I bought 10# bags of flour but think that's too much to vacuum seal. What would you suggest for dividing the flour into two 5# packages for sealing? Appreciate the information on freezing before sealing!
I would just use the rolls of vacuum sealer plastic to create a bag big enough to hold 5 lbs of flour and move forward with the same process. Does that make sense? :)
@@foodprepguide Yes it does. Thank you! By-the-way, this was the 1st time I ran across your channel. You know what people want to learn about and you have a practical approach. I've already perused your extensive number of videos and will definitely be following you.
But here's my thought ..... the O2 absorbers only take a few minutes to an hour to work ... the Silica packs take much longer to start and finish by if not hours , but days ... This would leave me to think using BOTH is actually Best ???
6:36 Nope, you're not talking weird at all. Those who know, know what you're talking about. It's exactly why I'm here, because I haven't been taught anything and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Have a wonderful day!
🇦🇺In Australia pressure canning is not that well known. Over the last few years I’ve asked my kids for a pressure canner, steam canner, dehydrator and jars, for birthdays, mother day and Christmas. But I’ve had Christians say why? We will be raptured before it gets bad. Really? I don’t read a Bible in it’s original language, so I’m depending on translations. Who am I hurting if I prepare and don’t need it. Since 2020, who knows what could happen. I buy books on animal husbandry, natural medicine and preservation.
If the blocks aren't attached to the ground or each other, what happens when a wild animal or a child comes in the garden and starts tipping over or moving the blocks? All your veggies and soil fall out?
They’re pretty heavy. The type of critters that make their way into the garden can’t move them, and a little training stops little hands from moving them. We’ve never had issues with these blocks getting displaced. 🙂
You’re right… this is sooo good! I made a batch today and threw in some of my tam jalapeños (mild). I’m so happy with the end result. We had taco salads for dinner to celebrate! 🎉 Thanks for all you do!
We had one of the 1lb bags of baby potatoes sprout on us so I planted them in what had been the shrubs between us & the neighbors. I did water a little but didn't put any fertilizer down and harvested just over 2 lbs so we counted that as a win.
Thank you for your comments of wisdom. God gave us a brain and body and we are to use them and prepare. Those who don't will have a harder time later than those who studied about growing, getting supplies, and trying to grow things if you never had. Stock up as much as you can, including water.
Proverb 31: 10-31 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 14She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 16She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 17She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. 18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. 19She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. 20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 21She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 24She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. 25Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. 31Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. I pray that God blesses your household richly.
My regulator was leaking steam after it reached pressure, I called to inquire and the sent me a free new regulator, (waiting for it to arrive),however I just read that there's a recall/problem with the lid? I'm hoping that's not the issue
I've never had that issue. If you call and give them your serial number, they'll be able to tell you if it's part of a recall. I'm not aware of any details about it. Wish I could be of more help! :)
It doesn’t seem very easy to find your recipes on your blog or website. I did a search of recipes and a whole bunch came up, but is that the only way to find them
Well I absolutely love these recipes!! You are one of my favorite to learn from, Thank you , but I do have a question, do you have a dry brown gravy mixed?? Somewhere, 🥰
That's a blessing to hear! ❤️ We don't have a dry brown gravy mix, but brown gravy is one of the things we make from scratch with a quick roux in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A4ZvbIP5QmQ.html Hope that's helpful. 🙂
Praise God when you proclaimed to "LOVE JESUS" what a message to a world that doesn't know Him "yet" - your video reminds me of my grandparents and my parents, their gardens were their sustenance, their hard work wasn't hard work, it was a labor of love to our Creator who provides. I will never know you, but in heaven we will know each other, wow, may your video's continue to proclaim the salvation that is ONLY found in Christ Jesus our Lord - keep proclaiming the name of JESUS - John 14:6 - keep up you missionary work by publishing these simple ways of life that are built on the solid rock of Jesus!!!
Thank you for your kind encouragement to press on in the race set before us! I pray to have even one crown to cast at His feet someday. The King is coming! ❤️
New subscriber here. Thank you for all of your helpful information. Watching your videos is like sitting down with a great friend who genuinely cares, and helping you live your best food life.
Mylar +O2 absorber is best if you’ll be storing it away long term with no plans to use it in the foreseeable future. Vacuum-sealed glass jars are better if you’ll be using it on a somewhat regular basis.
@@foodprepguide Also, is this the same for Kraft macaroni and cheese, removed from the box? It would last longer in a Mylar bag with an O2 absorber, than in a vacuum-sealed jar? Thank you so much!
Yes, this would be true for any dry foods. 🙂 For instance, you don’t want to store sticky dried fruits in Mylar with an oxygen absorber. But if it’s a thoroughly dry food, it’ll do well in Mylar with an O2 absorber.
TACO SEASONING... Have you tried adding to this recipe rubbed sage & Mexican oregano? I met an older Mexican lady who owned her own restaurant near Nogales, and she gave me her taco mix recipe, and it included those 2 herbs. That was over 20 years ago, and I've never used store-bought since. You can also use your same blend, just increase the amount of chili powder, to make chili! BTW...I just made your recipe for the onion soup/dip mix, and I'm enjoying a hot cuppa soup to start my day! Thank you!
I stopped canning pumpkin years ago when they changed the guidelines. Seems like pumpkin soup would be ok, so maybe water it down half way for concentrated soup?
Lady i live in wilderness and storage whole cream milk in the water proof package it comes in for 1-3 years. I don’t do anything to it. You should take the milk powder and FREEZE DRY it and you will get 25 years out of it.
I also use a brake-bleeder pump to seal my mason jars. And since I’m a heavy milk drinker and hate to run out, I’ve been freeze-drying whole milk from my local market. But very recently I started buying delicious, super healthy unpasteurized milk from a local Amish family and now I’m very excited to see how it feeze-dries and reconstitutes 😁
