4th PREPARE NOW NEWSLETTER
Issue 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We live in a most exciting and challenging
period in human history. As technology sweeps through every facet of our lives,
changes are occurring so rapidly that it can be difficult for us to keep our
lives in balance. To maintain some semblance of stability in our lives, it is
essential that we plan for our future. I believe it is time, and perhaps with some
urgency, to review the counsel we have received in dealing with our personal
and family preparedness. We want to be found with oil in our lamps sufficient
to endure to the end. - L. Tom Perry
(Ensign, Nov 1995, p 35)

Things I Wish I Had Known About Food Storage 10 Years Ago
By Kellene Bishop; Copyright

1. Yeast will last indefinitely if stored in your
freezer! Outside the freezer it only lasts a year, Inside the freezer
it lasts over 5 yrs.
3. Cooking with
a pressure cooker is a sanity saver. They are fast, nutritious, fuel
friendly and SO easy to use!
4.
Yes,
you can CAN MEATS! Simply stuff the RAW meat into a mason jar with a
bit of salt, put the clean lids on it, put the jars in your pressure canner for
the recommended period of time, and VOILA!
5. Cheese wax is a God-send! The cheese will keep for 25 years
using this method.
6.
Preserving eggs that I buy from the store is a snap!
Use a quarter cup of warmed mineral oil and coat the eggs that you buy from the
store. Store them pointed side down in a Styrofoam carton, in a cool/dry
place. You have REAL eggs for up to 9 months.
7.
I
never have to live without yummy chocolate again! I can buy all of
the candy bars/Hershey kisses/chocolate chips, stuff in a Mason jar, and w/a Food
Saver jar attachment, seal them for YEARS! This works for ANYTHING that
doesn’t require refrigeration.
8.
ONLY store
what you eat. If you don’t eat it, you won’t eat it, and
thus it’s a waste of money.
9.
You
can have meals already made, cooked, and stored in a Mason jar!
|
You
can bake bread, cake, cookies, casseroles, pudding, and more, in a Mason
jar, seal it, and they will last for SEVERAL
years! Do it in comfort now, so
you
can live in comfort even in the worst of disasters!
10. Solar ovens are the bomb–not just in
an emergency, but every single
day
the sun shines! I’ve essentially tripled the life of the fuel that I have
stored,
since
I won’t need to use any of it on cooking anymore except on cloudy or rainy
days.
