Feeding your Family during hard times
Most of us know how to cook, albeit some better than others.
My preferred style where I live is
just to use my coffee boilers on top of wood stoves to make some kind of stew,
or just basic broth based stuff to feed our Families. That's so much easier, if
push comes to shove.
And of course I can use them just to
heat up canned food. I figure that kind of food is probably already healthy,
and heating it up mostly enhances the serving and eating experience.
And I figure healthy food and
healthy people helps defeat diseases that I don't want to treat later and then hope
for the best. Let our bodies do the work in defeating these kind of diseases,
if it can work. Don't forget multivitamins and minerals, too.
Now Plan B is better, but harder to
accomplish, too. Basically, that plan is just to cook food the old fashioned
way with what cooking tools we humans have where we live. That will probably
take time, and some people with the right attitude, mostly willing to try, and
be willing to fail as they learn. An example is making bread. After all, over
the last ten thousand years or so, we have liked eating grains, too, and now
like things like breads if we can eat it.
Now it sure helps if our Families
are willing to go along. I suspect this approach will take time, too.
So if bread becomes unleavened, and
the intent was to make it leavened, so be it if we end up eating it, and
complaining to the cook, to boot. At least there is food value in it, one way
or the other.
And don't forget we in the new world
USA tend to like wheat based grains, but much of the world likes other grains,
like rice; and even other grains like oats, and barley, and other such grains.
In other words, wheat is not the only grain we humans like.
Even today I have avoided learning
how to cook on a wood stove griddle, and mostly hedging my bets.
It's just easier to use the wood
stove griddle for heating and cooking things more simple to make, at least
these days.
