Food Shortage Friday

This week I got two clips from Kroger and two from Meijer. We went during the busiest time of the day. I did get a shot of the water shelves at Meijer along with the coffee aisle. Ironically they were both about bare in an area. I did notice that the wine shelf was shortened since the last time we were there. Some of the aisles appear to have been shuffled around. I am giving you a link to a new channel Heather Cohn from The Kneady Homesteader talked about on her last video from yesterday. 

Okay, Fridays are going to be dedicated to food shortages. I have no doubt they will be abundant. I am trying to figure out the recording in public without invading the privacy of other shoppers. Also, I don’t want to cause anyone to lose their jobs. I will be going on Thursdays to different stores in my area to see how the stores are changing their layout to compensate for the shortage without freaking people out.

People the shortage is here. Our 2019-2020 harvest didn’t do well at all. Half-empty shelves are something we are going to have to get used to seeing. They are going to be a part of our lives. Wake up as many people as you can to this fact, then form communities. Learn together how to grow food, preserve it, and distribute it equally. I will do what I can to share the resources I have on these subjects. I am going to get a pot with soil and some seeds in the summer to start learning to grow foods we use a lot.

 
We also need to take advantage of 10/$10 sales for bartering items. These will be items your family may not like, but another will be happy to have. I plan on starting in February to buy bulk items we use a lot like rice, beans, pure cane sugar, and flour. I forgot yeast for bread. However, learning o make a starter for sourdough bread is a good idea. I will give you a link to Heather from Kneady Homesteader below. She is doing a series on a sourdough starter with and without rye. Not the same as nutritional yeast. They are two different forms of yeast. Salt is another thing I need to buy in bulk. I don’t know if I have mentioned or not, but you shouldn’t use iodized salt for canning. With canning, you can use Canning salt, Kosher salt, and even Pink Himalayan Salt. The iodized salt will cause your product to be cloudy in the jars. You put a lot of work into canning so why have it look cloudy and unappealing.

I hope y’all enjoy the video, and if you have any footage feel free to share it.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
