I have been here for a while and as much as I like this site it seems to be turning into a spam-filled adventure. I think i’m going to ease on out of here for a while. I will check back time to time good luck folks…..

Thanks for the heads up . I read this on the news ,but they didn’t bother putting out to much information on it , also who cares if vanilla ice was on the plane?

Being the paranoid person that I am what are the chances of this being a trail run to a pandemic style attack? or do I watch to much syfy ?

Still with you guys. My wife and I are still working on our house and canning /dehydrating everything we get our hands on.. We keep telling ourselves its a process and we will one day get everything done all though age might have slowed things down a little bit

We store non-iodized for canning and use the sea salt for everyday. I would suggest glass jars for storage with maybe a little rice to help with the moisture…

There is nothing wrong with taking care of the elderly. I lost my grandparents on both sides some years back . When I lost them I lost a wealth of knowledge that I can’t get back..

Anyhow glad your here

(Heavy sigh) I’m getting to old for this…

My idea on the heat was to try and kill all bug eggs my wife kinda freaked out when we opened the oats and a couple of bugs flew out.. I haven’t tried it on pasta yet

Long term storage Video’s on You Tube. I set the oven on 150 degs and put them in a enameled pan for a hr. My hope was to kill any bug eggs that always seem to hatch when in storage.

Don’t know if it will work but I thought it was worth a shot also tried it on Oats.

My wife and I are always on the look out for different ways to store things we…[Read more]

I tried something different on storing beans and rice for long term…

I put the beans in the oven on 150 degs for 1 1/2 hrs and then storing them in food grade buckets.
Keep you fingers crossed

Wife and I scored heavy at the auction tonight picked up a All American Canner for $32.00 can’t wait for canning season…

Just wanted to share
