We have a good amount of food and the store supply seems ok for the time being......we are low on TP and none to be had so there’s that.
I’m actually thinking possible longer term and considering resurrecting the garden this year...my kids enjoyed it but are now grown and don’t want anything to do with it...it would take a little work but what the hell...it could help if demand exceeds supply capabilities later on.
I’m also thinking of getting some chickens....I had them years ago, coups is still here and only stores some yard tools....again, very little work and I’d have eggs by the fall...and if push came to shove I’d have chicken for dinner too.
The wife didn’t think it was such a crazy idea not really knowing how long we would feel the repercussions of this whole thing......am I crazy or no??

If you try this recipe yourself, note that the YT description has the incorrect units for the salt. Use 1 1/2 tsps of salt, not tbsps![/b]



That recipe is uncannily similar (if not the same mostly) to the Pizza Dough Recipe I make.

Never tried to just cook it as bread.

Who knew. Smile

I have three teenage boys who express a strong preference for fresh fruit, fresh meat and fresh milk. Rather dissatisfied with dried, canned and powdered. Ah well. Embrace the suck.

I hear people complain that hoarding is irrational because we aren't going to run out of food or TP. Even if true, one still might want some extra set aside so you don't need to go shopping again soon with a bunch of sick people.

I think I like being a recluse.

We've been working on learning the art of Sourdough starter/bread. Tried different types of bread over the years but never Sourdough before.
There is a bit of a learning curve on the starter...
(#1 tip - tap water = bad. Chlorine kills natural yeast. #2 - Temperature of room where starter is needs to be "warm", not cold).
Once you manage the little details the bread is tasty!

Need to run out for eggs, sausage, and bacon. May get the thick butcher's cut bacon, and another bag or two of dry beans. I'm hankering for corn bread and lima beans.

We were out of bacon, and so was the store, so we ponied up for $15 worth of fresh cut bacon from our local neighborhood butcher.

Cooked some last night... Best bacon I've ever had, by far. Well worth the upcharge.

Funny thing was that the butcher was in the process of grinding up steaks for hamburger. Said nobody was buying steaks, but ground hamburger was selling out as fast as he could make it. So while his hamburger meat is usually really good (and fairly priced normally), I bet that hamburger meat would be even better and probably worth the higher price. But we've got several pounds in the freezer already.

We live prepared. The only thing we tried to get a week before the silly started was more dog food. We usually keep 2 bags besides the open one. Probably still about 3 weeks worth on hand.
We got 2 dozen fresh eggs, yesterday. A neighbor has backyard chickens and the eggs are great. Freezers are perpetually full.

Not worried about ammo. Probably should do an inventory but it would take a while to get through it all.

We are enjoying the social distancing, immensely. I pity the extroverts but my wife and I are in our element. Smile

Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

I've been giving out N95 masks and N99 masks to those in need. I had a lot. Now I have a lot less and will be keeping whats left as we wait for it to hit us.

Didn't buy ammo.
Didn't buy TP.
Didn't buy extra food, filters, stoves, bugout trash or anything. That's was all stocked deep and cheap a long time ago.

I'm the guy that bought an extra gas mask for every child on the block when we were having a conflict with Iraq. I let it slip to a horrified parent that I had a mask for every child, including hers, but none extra for any adults outside of my wife, none for her or her husband. The as the horror of this idea sunk in, you could read the fear and shock on her face. LOL

I recently bought new filters for my wife and my masks. All those kids, including mine, grew up and moved away.

Beautiful, and I have also found baking bread in Dutch ovens in the oven to yield the best results.

Commercial bakeries use steam injection ovens to keep the air inside moist so the bread rises better, and Dutch ovens are the closest you can get to that at home (evaporated water from the bread stays inside the Dutch oven).

I'm gonna binge watch netflix, order a pizza delivery, and hunker down.

Tomorrow, if it gets real bad, I'mma shoot the neighbor and take all the crap he's been buying up, should be set for at least another 12-36 hours, depending on the pop tart count.

On Monday, I rattle canned an AR, Tuesday I bought a few more items at the grocery store and sat on my tailgate in my driveway and drank a beer and listened to old country music, Wednesday I ordered a pizza, made cornbread and bought some range ammo, Thursday picked up some meat and set up AR pistol and mags in a tennis racquet bag to carry around with me in case the natives get restless.
