Quick food storage camouflaging

April 15, 2009 - " Quick food storage camouflaging" By Joseph Parish. I am one of the privileged people that has a separate food storage area however many people lack the suitable space to stockpile even small quantities of food let alone to provide storage for a complete years supply. Their shelves and closets are required for necessary items such as clothing and dishes. This just does not leave extra places to put those cans of food. It is thus apparent that one must exercise their imagination to create a means for storing that extra food in the event that an emergency situation presents itself. Click here

Hourseradish from Field to Table

April 11, 2009 - "Horseradish from Field to Table" By Joseph Parish. Horseradish is cultivated for its dense, fleshy white, hard root. When ready for processing it displays a coarse yellowish-brown skin with a pale fleshy body. This member of the mustard family matures to about twelve inches long and is shaped somewhat as a carrot. The roots are usually absent of the characteristic pungent bite and aroma until the contained oil is released by grating and it then easily brings forth tears to ones eyes. When horseradish is prepared fresh from the root it has a much sharper zest than its commercially prepared cousin. Click here

US Food Riots Much Closer Than you think

April 4, 2009 - "US Food Riots Much Closer Than You Think" Recently, I said "we'll be fighting in the streets for food long before we're buried in ice."

Storage of Oil used for cooking

April 3, 2009 - "Storage of oil used for cooking" By Joseph Parish. It wasn’t too many years ago that I was employed at a local oil refinery. Not the kind of refinery which processed crude oil into oil which is used in our vehicles but rather the kind of refinery which makes cooking oil. This particular refinery specialized in soybean oil. My job there was to ensure that the product that was being made was top quality and completely fit for human consumption. Click here

Using the Reynold's Handi-Vac System

April 1, 2009 - "Using the Reynolds’s Handi-Vac System" By Joseph Parish. A while back I was fortunate enough to locate one of the Reynolds’s Handi-vac systems in our local Wal-Mart department store. It was not a costly item and so I decided to pay my ten dollars or so and give it a try. At the same time I put in another ten dollars for 9 gallon bags that are used in conjunction with the machine.

March 31, 2009 - "Is there a difference between short term and long term food storage? By Joseph Parish.
