Ahh, a gravy lover like my dear husband! He always said he would eat an old shoe if I served it with homemade bread & lots of gravy! He was a true peasant gourmet.

With all the drooling (mine included) over bacon in its many glorious manifestations, I have not yet read one person who dredges it in flour before frying it. I read about it somewhere as a child,...
You might try lentils. No soaking, they cook in 30 min or so, and when combined with rice and hamburger (if you have it) taste 'meatier' than some other kinds of beans.
My late hubs loved them. ...
I'll go ya one better...soak those beans while you sleep. In the morning, bring them to a nice rolling boil while you boil up the coffee. Add meat if you want, cut in 1 inch cubes. When ready to...
I guess I'm from the ol' geezer school, I store plain old long storing ingredients and combine them to cook my own meals. That way I know whats IN them plus its cheaper. Mylar, oxygen absorbers and...
ya know the gas diminishes if you eat fart food more often so your intestinal bacteria can adapt.....easy on the budget, too (all dem beans)

This is the technique I use - it works over any heat source. I use a trivet to hold the pan up though. Well washed tuna cans make excellent mini-cake pans; otherwise you can buy mini baking pans (I...
I was blessed - taught as a child how to process fowl when my parents scored some chickens from the Ag Research facility near us (they were testing different chicken feeds) after their test was over....
Mormons (or latter Day Saints) have as a religious goal to store food for 1 year. They have been doing research on food storage for years & years. The older info (pre oxy absorbers) listed a 'basic...
How about a snow cave...easier. Especially if some kind soul snow-blows some nice deep artificial drifts to play with! I made one once in my front yard by blowing up some garbage bags with air to...
Yep, fixit, my thoughts exactly. There are several plants that will stun the fish so you can just pick them up. I look for those plants near all my fishing spots, just for reference, ya know?
Nor...
I tried to register, the computer said I had to follow directions in the e-mail sent to me. How long does it take? l
Also captcha was down...but when I typed in (literally) the words about captcha...
