I am pleased to announce that with part of the money we got back from Uncle Sam this year, we bought a new gas stove.

While searching for a source of good online chocolate I found www.bulkfoods.com which a lot of you probably already knew about, but which I was delighted with. Aside from cabbage powder, which sounds disgusting, there was a lot of dehydrated foods that you can't find in the cannery but would be grea...

Yesterday I made some cornbread in my dutch oven. I'm fairly new to dutch oven cooking, but I managed not to mess up the cornbread. But dutch ovens lend themselves to cornbread, because for a good cornbread you need a lot of heat and a heavy iron thing to cook it in. So I used a lot of coals. I didn't even have...

I got the following email from www.internet-grocer.net. It sounds alarmist, but it matches with what I'm hearing from other people, including a guy that has a BBQ takeout store. He said that his supplier has raised his meat prices 37% just since the holidays. We were advised today (Jan. 23, 2008) tha...

Okay, teach me the way of the bean, please. Basically, I've made them in a crockpot... like, I soak them overnight and then put them in the crock in the morning with my soup/stew stuff and by night time they are ready.

I've heard people compare the oil in the parable of the Ten Virgins to food storage. Is this accurate? Anyone know who might've said this? Do you think we'll be asked to pool our food storage at some point to redistribute to those without?
