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.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
