Eggs have been going up here too . We can EASILY go through a dozen a day! Can't wait to bring my biddies home! That will help!

Fried chicken, cole slaw, and biscuits tonight

Times like this we have to go full Dory; "Just keep prepping, just keep prepping" I KNOW right?! LOL Hoping next year. Nigerian dwarfs <3

I can't think about what's going on right now with the the stock market, our preps are so low (been really hard financially the last few years) but at least it's finally got my dh on board with the idea that we NEED to prep (would have been nice if that had happened SOONER :s). Praying things can limp along a little longer . ANYWAY, trying to focus on the GOOD! We're moving in a month, back to the country! Much lower rent, big garden area, can have chickens, hopefully soon goats, and nice neighbours. I've got chickens coming (4 orpingtons, including a roo, 5 rhode island red banties, and a couple silkies) as soon as I can get their coop set up, and hopefully garden will be ready to plant in the spring (doing a back to eden garden). Also we're set to have our car loan payed off by the end of the year! Trying so hard to get out of debt and that's our biggest debt payment so paying that off is so encouraging! My Orp girls <3

Settled on hamburgers

I'm vacillating between pasta and lentil soup with cheddar biscuits

Tonight we're havin' cowboy beans and fry bread! I think I'll make some iced tea to have with it!

I am going to try that! I dehydrated a boiled chicken breast and that is exactly what we found, way too hard and chewy to be palatable! I am going to have to try this! I so much prefer to store things dehydrated if I can, we tend to be rather nomadic so lighter and less space is gooood LOL.

I've heard they go mushy if you can them. It's OK, I guess we'll just have to eat them up before we unplug, then it just won't be something to stock up on. I finished my meal plan (doing Wendy DeWitt's food storage method) without any hotdog meals.

Hmmm, that's true. Well phooey, so much for that idea. Oh well, it was a nice thought lol.

Sometimes I wonder what's up with Amazon! More than once I've seen some thing I want, send dh the link (so he can open it on HIS computer) and he'll open it right away and the price is different than it is on MY computer .

So I've been putting up a lot of ground beef rocks (dehydrated cooked ground beef) and it got me thinking. I have a whole whack of chicken franks in my freezer (I like to chop them up and use them in casseroled during hard times) and, wanting a shelf stable way to preserve just about everything, I was thinking, why not slice them up (maybe a little thinner than usual) and make rocks out of them?! Anyone tried this before? I'm thinking I'll give it a go when my dehydrator is free (I have sour cream going right now then I have celery, garlic and ground turkey in line first) and see how it goes with one pound before I go ahead and do the rest of the 10 or so pounds I've got in there. Any thoughts?

Wasn't trying to sound ungrateful for the effort put into making the list, I'm very sorry I sounded like I was, I was just disappointed that by the time I got to them they weren't available anymore (for free). Wasn't meant to be a criticism of anyone.

I did find one free one on Pam's but all the links here weren't free for me .
