Ongoing shortages and supply chain information

Wheat, corn, vegetable oils, potatoes, rice, tomatoes, olives, pasta, salt, vinegar, and salad dressings. You may not notice the shortages in your location but you will notice price increases of these items. 


 India has banned the export of non-basmati rice. There are only two areas in the US where we grow rice and those areas both had lower than average yields because of bad weather. 2023 was a bad year for corn in the major corn producing states. A lot of the corn that is normally for humans is now being used for animal feed. There is a bad drought in Panama that is affecting the water level and there is a long wait time to get through.There are many, many ships waiting to go through and are currently running at least a month behind. Goods that are shipped from Asia to the Eastern US go through the Panama canal.

How to make Fire Cider for an immune system booster

Fire Cider is an all natural semi-liquid mix of apple cider vinegar, spicy vegetables and herbs that is mixed well and you take at least 1 tablespoon a day for an immune booster. There are many different. recipes that can be found on-line and in some books. Rosemary Gladstar has authored a book of many different variations of Fire Cider recipes. There is no wrong way to make it. Use the ingredients you can find and that you like. If it calls for something that you can't stand, just leave that ingredient out. Exchange that ingredient for another one. You can add lemon or lime juice too. It is fast and easy to make in a blender and it will store for at least a year in the refrigerator. After a month, some people strain the veggie bits out and only drink the liquid. Some leave it as is and consume the veggie bits and the liquid. Here is a recipe from the person who taught me about it. It is a good place to start.





How to make Apple Cider Vinegar from apple scraps

You can make raw apple cider vinegar at home. It will save you a lot of money, it is easy and good for you. And you can use up a lot of your scraps from processing apples in the Fall.

The only ingredients you need at apple scraps, including the core and peel. I would remove any insect damage. Filtered water, a little sugar and a little bit of apple cider vinegar with the Mother.

A lot of people make vinegar in quart or half-gallon canning jars. You can also make it in clean food grade 5 gallon buckets. It is a slow natural process and it takes anywhere from 2-4 months from start to finish but it costs almost nothing to make.

 I have my own apple tree and last year I made over $100 worth of raw ACV with the Mother for the cost of a little bit of sugar.

Make your own salad dressings., without preservatives

You can make your own salad dressings that are cheaper and healthier than those found in the store. All you need are a few basic ingredients. The main ingredients are usually vinegar, olive oil and spices. If you store these basics, you can make salad dressings whenever you need them. I recommend the two books pictured above. You can also find many recipes online. I would make a small batch and try it out. Save and organize the recipies that you like.

Another way to save money is to buy the packets of the dry seasonings that you add to vinegar, water and the oil of your choosing.


Russian Dressing (similar to Catalina but tastes better)

1 C. ketchup

1/3 C. each of vinegar, oil, sugar

1 T. yellow mustard

1 t. paprika

1 T. parsley leaves



Ranch Dressing from book Best Dressed Salads by Jim Long 93 pgs

¾ C. Mayonnaise

¼ C. buttermilk

1/3 C. finely chopped celery with the leaves

2 T chopped fresh parsley or 1 T. dry parsley

1 T. grated onion or 2 t. dry onion powder

1 clove garlic, minced or ¼ t. garlic powder

1 sprig fresh thyme or ¼ t. dried thyme

½ t. celery salt

dash black pepper

April 2016 Newsletter

April Gardening Chores Zone 6:  If you have not yet planted your peas, plant them right away.  You can also plant other cool season vegetables such as lettuce, kale, radishes, carrots, beets, broccoli and cabbage.  Do not plant warm season vegetables outdoors yet unless you have a greenhouse or can keep them covered every day.  Most of these will need to be transplanted or started by seeds around Mother’s Day.


Product Highlight of the Month:  Victorio Grain Mill  (non-electric)



If you plan on storing any grains, YOU NEED TO HAVE one of these!  This is small, very affordable and will be much better than smashing your grains between some rocks to make flour so you can have bread and other baked goods in an emergency.  Keep in mind that grains stored in their whole, unground form, will keep a lot longer than those that are already ground.
This grain mill can be used for wheat, barley, spelt, popcorn (for making corn meal), and even for making rice flour from your stored rice.  It clamps to your counter top or a table and does not need any power.  This retails for around $50-60.  If you just want to “save it for an emergency” it stores in a small box.  If you have an expensive electric grain mill, I would still get one of these to have for situations where you may be without power for long periods of time.


For those who still do not have a grain mill:  7 Great Ways to Use Wheat Without a Wheat Grinder.  This is the simplified version of a post by the ladies at Food Storage Made Easy.  They have this article posted on their website and on their Facebook Page.  You can do a search on those pages using the above title.   www.foodstoragemadeeasy.net
#1.  Thermos Wheat (like a hot cereal that has been cooking overnight in a thermos).
#2  Wheat Berries
#3  Popped Wheat
#4  Wheat grass
#5  Cracked wheat
#6  Wheat Sprouts
#7  Blender wheat flour (placing whole wheat kernels in a blender with other recipe ingredients and mixing in the blender.)



Small Space Storage Solutions
Even if you live in an apartment or a small house, you can find creative ways to store your food storage and other emergency supplies.  I will post some information here to help you get started searching for ideas.

www.thesurvivalmom.com   search her website for posts on this topic on her homepage.  Also if you use Facebook go to her Facebook page called The Survival Mom and search for “small space storage solutions” in the upper left corner of the page.  She posted ideas about this multiple times in 2015.

This post above is really long.  They have lots of great ideas and you can also see comments from people who have tried these ideas or have even more ideas.  Remember the saying, “If there is a WILL…there is a WAY.”

March 2016 Newsletter

March Garden Projects:  Amend your garden soil with manure.  If you live in the city you can buy it in bags from hardware stores for very cheap.  Empty composters into the garden as well. Mix well before planting.  Plant peas about St. Patrick’s Day in zone 6.  By the end of the month you can usually plant hardy cold weather vegetables such as broccoli and kohlrabi.  If you use row covers to protect from frost, you can start to plant lettuce and radishes.



 Sprouting Seeds: 
Sprouting various seeds is a fast and easy source of nutrition.  Sprouts pack a lot of nutrition in a very tiny package and you can eat them in just a few days.  Sprouts can be used as a replacement for vegetable if you have none.  All you need for basic supplies are seeds, a container with a lid for some ventilation and a source of clean water to rinse them off a couple times a day.
There are several different options for containers for sprouting.  The old fashioned way is just a quart jar and a cover of cheese cloth. Now you can buy a plastic “sprouting jar lid”.  You lay the jar on its side in a sunny spot.   There are also sprouting trays that are square or round. If you have multiple trays you can grow different varieties of sprouts at the same time.

Seeds that are commonly sprouted;  alfalfa, mung beans, other beans, peas, lentils, and wheat.

Use sprouts fresh on a sandwich, use in salads, as a soup topping, add to vegetables in a stir-fry dish, and use in an omelette.  

To buy bulk sprouting seeds check out Azure Standard Supply in Oregon, USA.  www.azurestandard.com  They can ship about anywhere inside the continental United States.  To see how you can make your own bulk seed sprouting mix, check out www.youtube.com and search for a video by Healthy Preparedness.  She has posted a video titled "Sprouting Mix-Save Money!"   


You can grow a few sprouts at a time in just a Mason jar covered with cheese cloth or use a plastic sprouting lid.

Shown:  The Victorio Brand Seed Sprouting "Kitchen Garden" kit.

A round seed sprouting container with 4 tiers.  You could grow 4 different kinds of sprouts at one time in this one.

Do you use the FIFO system for Food storage?
FIFO is short for First in, First out.  This means that the foods you bought first, are the first ones you are using.  Use the oldest foods first.  This is the best way to ensure that nothing gets too old and will be wasted.
Even if you do not have a fancy food rotation shelving system you can do this.  Always put the purchase date on your foods and pull your older items forward.  Put the newest items in the back or on the bottom.  This is what they do in the grocery store.  There are many free ideas and plans on the internet, just search for DIY rotating can rack ideas.




How long will food last in cans such as vegetables and soups? 
Lately as I have been buying new canned goods I have been checking the “USE BY DATE” stamped on the cans.  It looks like they are suggesting that you eat the canned goods within 2 years of production.  No matter how quickly you eat things, it is always best to store your foods in the coolest, darkest and driest place possible to prolong the shelf-life. I had some store-bought green beans that were 3 years past the expiration date and were gross.  We could not eat them and we threw them away.    Home canned/bottled fruits and vegetables in glass canning jars can last a lot longer and will still taste good. Over time they will lose some of their vitamins and nutrition but will still be good to eat.  Light colored fruits though will turn dark and not look as appetizing. You may decide to store the light colored foods in the original cardboard canning boxes.  Tape a label on the outside of the box and put a date on it.
You can eat foods in cans that have dents.  Yes, you can. But, keep in mind that you really should use those soon as the dent will eventually cause deterioration in the metal and the food can spoil sooner.  Just get a marker and write “Use me up soon” on the lid and put it in front.
Use what you have and replace it as you use it.  First in, first out!


Growing and processing your own foods for true independence.  No man who relies on others for his food is truly independent.   Now is the time to learn how to grow a garden, even a small one.  This is the time of year to start buying your seeds and gardening supplies.  Dedicate a spiral notebook to be your gardening journal and start to sketch your garden plans in it.  Gardening rarely turns out as good as we hope. There is a big learning curve.  Now is the time to practice your gardening skills so you can become more independent.

 Preserving documents: 
Before you ever need to evacuate your home or if it is destroyed by a fire, flood or tornado…you should have a plan for your vital documents.
There are several options for making copies of your vital documents.  Whichever method you choose is up to you but you should have the copies stored in a different location.  The BEST thing to have would be the ORIGINALS or course, but if something happened to those, at least you could have copies and your photo ID to get you back on the road to recovering from a disaster.




Documents you would want to have preserved:
1)      Birth or adoption certificates for every person in your home.
2)      Passports or Visas
3)      Social Security cards
4)      Insurance forms for life, car, home, medical etc (include photos of the items and rooms)
5)      Pet and human vaccine records
6)      Marriage certificates
7)      Advance Directives if you have any
8)      Church records
9)      A Fairly recent photo of each person in the family.
10)  Anything else that you really should save.                           

Options for having extra copies.
1)       Take a large 3 ring binder and make copies and place in sheet protectors and keep that in a different location.  Or, keep the originals in the binder and have that in a place where you can grab it quickly as you evacuate your home.  Label it in a way that if your home was broken into, a thief would not know what it is.  You might choose to do BOTH of these methods.
2)       Scan all important documents and save the digital copies onto a thumb drive or disk.  Keep the thumb drive or disk at a bank in a safe deposit box or at your work in a safe or a trusted relative’s home.  Some people also choose to keep these in their 72 hr kit or bug-out bag.
3)      No matter which method you choose above, it is a great idea to keep your vital documents in a water-proof and fire-proof safe in your home.  Bolt the safe to the floor and keep well hidden.  For more ideas on this subject just use your favorite internet search engine or check out www.thesurvivalmom.com and   http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net  
4)      Keep in mind that there are some ready-made binders for this purpose for sale on line.  They are expensive, but you can make your own for pretty cheap.  It does not need to be fancy.  I made our binder using a 2 inch 3-ring binder, sheet protectors and some dividers with tabs.

January 2016 Newsletter

2016 Goals for Preparedness:  Suggested ideas if you need some.
1.      Evaluate what your family’s needs are.  What are the areas that your family needs to work on?  Concentrate on those areas first.
2.      Do you have EMPTY water containers?  If they are empty, you cannot count that as water storage!  Fill-up your containers ASAP.
3.      Do you have wheat but you don’t have a wheat grinder?  Buy a wheat grinder.  Start with one that is small, affordable and non-electric. Victorio Brand is a nice little starter one that retails for around $60.
4.      Did you get some preparedness gifts or items this past year?  Practice using them so you are familiar with the tools you have.
5.      Continually add to your stock of your most commonly used items.  Buy things when they are on sale. Put your favorite grocery store ads app on your phone or read the ads that come in the mail each week.
6.      Do you get these newsletter every month?  Do you read them right away and put things on your calendar?
7.      Make a goal of using the Stake dry pack canner at least once this year. Or go to the Sandy Home storage center and buy dry goods there.  It is really easy.
8.      Make it a goal to go to the case lot sales this year and stock up on your most commonly used foods.  Many times, the case lot sales have the lowest prices on canned goods all year.
9.      Are you lacking sanitation supplies?  Start gathering supplies and make a sanitation kit or two.  You can keep your supplies in plastic tubs or 5 gallon buckets.
10.  Do you have a garden plot but have not planted a garden in several years?  Plant a garden this year.  Gardening rarely goes as planned and there is always something to learn.  If you had to, could you live on only what you grow?
11.  Do you need a refresher course on First Aid or CERT?  Sign-up for a class near you and take the class this year.
12.  Sign-up and attend at least one of the free classes that your church or community will offer on preparedness topics.  You cannot borrow someone else’s knowledge.
13.  Do you have some old foods stored away but you don’t use it?  Start using it and as you use it, buy some fresher foods to store.  You MUST rotate your food storage.
14.  Do you have a FACEBOOK account?  Great!  Find pages on Food Storage and Preparedness and “like” a page or two. Other pages will be suggested for you to check out.  There is a lot of information on Facebook.
15.  If you use Facebook, please join our large preparedness group, or one in your area.  You can even start a group of your own with family and friends.  It only takes a minute and you can invite whomever you want.  If you live in West Jordan you may join one of these groups.  COPPER CANYON NEIGHBORHOOD PREPAREDNESS GROUP or WEST JORDAN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS GROUP.
16.  So you ARE part of a preparedness group?  Do you check what group members are posting?  You can adjust your notifications settings and check as often as you like.  You may choose to only look at it once a week.  Set a goal to participate in more group buys this year.
17.  You have decided YOU WILL NOT GET A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.  That is fine, many people chose not to.  There are many websites, stores and blogs devoted to preparedness and food storage.  Check them out and add some to your favorites list.


      This is funny, but is does not count as water storage!    You can fill containers from the sink or buy it anywhere, until there is an emergency.

Highlight of the month:   27 LED  work light,  also known as 24 +3 work light
This small light has 24 bright LED lights on the front and 3 LED lights on one end.  Most of these have 2 work settings.  Some brands have a strobe setting also.  (I have seen the same lights under different brand names online). On the back it has a magnet and a hook for hanging.  It comes with 3 AAA batteries.  These retail for about $4 each.  I have found them at Harbor Freight stores as well as on-line.
I like that it is small, bright, very useful and very affordable.  We now have one in each car and in each 72 hr kit as well.  We also have at least one in a handy location for when the power goes out.

December 2015 Newsletter

Emergency Preparedness and Provident Living Newsletter
December 2015

Now that the Holidays are here, it is hard to think about working on your food storage and preparedness.  There are some simple things you can do this month to keep working toward self-sufficiency.  I will list some things below.
1.      Always keep your vehicle’s gas tank at least half full.
2.      Stock up on cough and cold medicines while you are at the store.  Keep things you use the most on hand at all times.  As you use one, buy another to replace it.    Also stock up on facial and toilet tissue when they go on sale.  Extra paper goods for busy days, company, or when the dishwasher breaks down or when there is a power outage are very good to have on hand.  
3.      As you put winter linens on the beds, make sure you have plenty of extra blankets on hand.  If there is a winter storm and the power goes out you will need them.  Blankets and quilts make great gifts.
4.      This is one of the best times of the year to stock up on baking ingredients.  Stores are already having price wars on items like, sugar, flour, salt, powdered sugar, brown sugar, chocolate chips, corn syrup, flavorings etc.  If you keep basic baking ingredients in stock you can always make something delicious and comforting for less than buying it.
5.    
          Do some of your Christmas shopping with preparedness for your loved ones in mind.  See my Christmas list later in this newsletter.

Information on the LDS Home Storage Centers
You can find your location for the local Home Storage Center by doing a search on lds.org or providentliving.org    https://providentlinving.lds.org/self-reliance/food-storage/home-storage-center-locations.map?lang-eng  There are 101 of these in the US and Canada.  Most of them will only allow patrons to stop buy and purchase foods in bulk or already in #10 cans.  There are only 12 HSC in the country that allow patrons to can their own foods, (if they choose), while there.  Those 12 HSC still have all items already in the cans as well.
To find out the address and operating hours of your HSC look for the phone number of the one nearest you and call them to get the latest information.

You don’t have an LDS Home Storage Center near you?
Remember that stores like Costco and Sam’s Club and Amish grocery stores sell basic food stuffs in bulk every day.  You may also be able to find bulk rice or beans for sale at Ethnic grocery stores as well. Many regular grocery stores do sell larger bags but will place them on the very bottom shelf.

Black Friday Deals on Food Storage Products:
Many of the major food storage companies, especially the ones based in Utah, will have Black Friday deals.  If you do not get a newspaper where you can see these, you can check your favorite dealer’s websites.  You can also “like” your favorite dealers on their Facebook page to get their notifications of sales.
Thrive Life Company has great Black Friday sales every year.  This is when we have bought most of the Thrive shelving that we own.  They usually are knocked down about 40% off.  To check on the Thrive Life Black Friday deals go to http://www.thrivelife.com/picker/index/quickpick/ and click on “Show Black Friday pricing”.  Their Black Friday deals can be seen online now but will not be effective until 8am Nov. 25th and will run through 11:59pm Nov. 30 MST. You may also be interested in buying a specialty package on occasion throughout the year.  Sometimes those are a better deal.
You do not have to purchase through a Thrive Consultant.  But, if you do…it can help her as well as you can do an on-line party and get products at half price or even free.  In the past I have also just requested to have my item added to someone’s online party, (So I could get the deal), even if I did not know the host.
To take advantage of the Black Friday deals here is what one of the consultants told me to pass along to you.
Make sure you click the Big Black button that says Show Black Friday Deals”.
You can fill your cart BEFORE the sale and then wait to CHECK OUT during the sale window


Items will not display at the correct sale prices until that sale window and you will need to refresh your cart before checking out.
