Thanks for all the recipes! I feel it is now crunch time, so I’ve been saving your recipes to a flash drive.

I have a question. First I searched the Forums and got a gazillion hits, and I don’t want to start another thread.

Where can I buy powdered eggs? And has anybody made “just eggs” from it? Do they still taste like eggs? Thanks!

“Where can I buy powdered eggs? And has anybody made “just eggs” from it? Do they still taste like eggs? Thanks!”

Honeyville Grain

Nope, they don’t taste like eggs just by themself, but they are better when made into in an omelet. They work great in mixes when baking.

JWB – at 15:14

Thanks HH!

I had no idea that they are so inexpensive! and just 1 can = 170 eggs!

Thanks for link and the omelet suggestion!

Oh by the way, for those of you who aren’t familiar with the ID ten T virus that I mentioned above you should be. I’m sure you all of had it at some time!

INSTANT HOT COCOA MIX

Sift all ingredients and mix together. Use a large container such as the big plastic jar that Pretzels come in at Costco or a very large pot, but I recommend something with a lid as this has a tendency to be powdery and seems to whisp around in the air. Or just make half a batch and use anything with a lid. This has been a family favorite at our home for years.

Kathy in FL – at 15:52

[Remember that when any recipe calls for eggs, you can use powdered eggs if you don’t have fresh. If you do plan on using powdered eggs and/or powdered milk, you can actually just add it into the rest of your dried ingredients before hand and then adjust the directions that you are placing on the jar, adding extra liquid as appropriate.]

Attach this to the Jar

For those of you who are looking for canned/bottled 100% juices to supplement your fluids in your preps … or you are looking for juices to make jams and jellies with … I just found out that our local Target carries blueberry juice and pomegranate juice as a regular item.

They also have some unusual specialty sodas … blood orange, strawberry-lime, green apple, grapefruit, etc. I’m probably going to go fill a grocery cart with that later this month. I want the blueberry and pomegranate juice for canning … the sodas will be for treats during SIP, if they last that long.

Also, they’ve got some half-size silly sodas for kids right now … gruesome grape, berried alive, spider cider, and <drumroll please> candy corn. Thought these would be great distractions for the kids if necessary.

Miss Kathy in Flordia or any other helpful person:

How long do you have to freeze grains to kill the bugs…I know this is out there in the FW ether but I can’t find it.

Thanks in advance.

I’m-workin’-on-it – at 02:14

no name – at 01:58 I think I read 3 days is enough.

lohrewok – at 08:26

I’ve read 3 days also. Then again, I’ve heard the more bulk (say 50lbs of flour) the more time needed.

Kathy in FL – at 15:37

Well, you can freeze a full 72 hours or you can use bay leaves. I do both. If I’m planning to save things in large amounts … say putting all 50 pounds of rice in one large container then I freeze. If I’m just packing 5 pound bags of flour into containers then I use the bay leaves.

I deal with a high humidity state so I try not and do anything that could cause condensation. I’ve had some bad luck trying to freeze flour and then even after letting it set for 24 to 48 hours before storing it in a container. For flour especially I tend to only use bay leaves.

Check what works best in your neck of the woods.

I’ve never had problems with my pasta after I started using bay leaves … and I’ve never frozen the pasta either.

I have a question about cooking on a gas grill. Our gas grill has a side burner, and I plan to cook on the grill/burner if the grid goes down for any length of time. How would I go about bakng? For instance, if I wanted to cook a box pizza kit, could I do this on a grill? What container would I use, do I use the burner or the grill, and how do I project cooking time? Anyone?

HillBilly Bill – at 19:19

I can offer my experience. I placed fire brick that are used for lining a wood stove on the grill surface of my gas grill. This distributed the heat from the burner evenly and kept the flames from burning the bootom of the pan of biscuits I was baking. If your gril has double burners you might be able to use a metal cookie sheet and only turn on one side. Cooking time for my biscuits was about the same (or would have been if I could have kept from opening the top to look at them. The bottoms were done more than the tops, but they were not bad at all. I need to try other items, I’m sure a pan of cornbread would come out nice, but I need to also try a loaf of bread.

Be advised it uses up your propane quicker than a propane camping oven, but for the cost of the camping oven I can get several 20lb propane tanks.

I’ve run into the exact same issue!! DW told me if I wanted to bake on the grill, I need to go to my own Pampered Chef party. Hmmmph… ;-)

Kathy in FL – at 22:27

I wonder if those terracotta tiles that you can buy to put down in your patio would work the same way. I mean they have these terracotta baking dishes that you soak before you use them. I’ve also heard of people baking a loaf of bread in terracotta flower pots. Wonder of those terracotta tiles would be the same type of tool.

Unusual combination that actually works. <grin> This is for a bread machine or you can convert it to baking bread the old-fashioned way.

Black Eyed Peas and Bacon Bread

Place all ingredients in machine in manufacturer’s recommended order and push START!

Kathy in FL – at 10:23

Here’s another unusual bread combination that works. This bread needs to be eaten when it is fixed. Any leftovers must be refrigerated (or stored in a cool environment similar to a frig).

Barbecued Corned Beef and Cheese Bread

Place all the ingredients (EXCEPT THE 1/3 CUP CORNED BEEF) into the pan in the order listed. Select white bread and push “Start.” Add the chopped corned beef at the “beep.”

Here is yet another unusual bread that works. I figure that bread is what is going to help me piece out some of my more expensive prep items such as the canned meats. Or, it could make an inexpensive can of soup into a great meal.

Chicken and Stuffing Bread

Add all ingredients into the pan in the order listed. Select white bread and push “Start.”

Roll out the remaining one-third of the pastry and brush the dough lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. With a saw-toothed pastry wheel, cut 12 strips from the dough. Fill the shell with the fruit mixture, mounding it in the center, moisten the edge of the shell with the beaten egg, and arrange the strips in lattice fashion over the fruit, pressing the ends onto the edge of the shell. Make a decorative border on the rim of the pie. Bake the pie on the bottom third of a preheated 425(F oven for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375(F and bake the pie for 20–30 minutes more, or until the pastry is browned. Remove from the oven and brush the fruit with melted apricot glaze.

Hey all … gonna be away from the computer for about a week. Need the break and have to go fix some things at our rural property. Working on security measures as well as putting things back together after all the vandalism earlier in the year. Still finding things that needs repairing even after months and months. If it isn’t one thing it is another.

But, I hope to come back with some real oldies but goodies from my mom’s huge stash of old recipe books. Will be looking at handwritten recipe cards done by my grandmothers and great grandmother.

Mari!!!!

Are you aware that the recipes over in the FOOD section of the PERSONAL GUIDES that is under PERSONAL PREPAREDNESS where you’ve been putting recipes is no longer available??

I’m assuming you are aware of that…is there anything we can do to regain access or move the info somewhere else — my printed out cookbook is only half finished!!!

I found out from pogge that they have no control over that area so I wrote this back to him on the moderator’s thead:

“Well, yes, I don’t know who je (Rich Erwin) is, but that’s where the information wound up. I’ll go over to the recipe thread and ask Mari & Kathy to see about getting the information to you so it can be moved somewhere else where we can get to it — Mari has worked sooooo hard on getting it all formatted and moved — we just can’t lose access to it.”

FALSE ALARM MARI!!! Ignore what I just posted, because pogge got me straightened out….I don’t know where what I’ll call the ‘new’ page came from, but if I can get there all the links there work. I had originally been told to go to the place that’s listed FOOD under the Rich Erwin or Evans or whatever his name is section, and it got closed down. I was afraid we’d been left hanging! Sorry for the alarm.

I’m-workin’-on-it – at 10:54 - Glad to hear that it was a false alarm.

There is always the possibility that somebody could intentionally or accidentally wipe out a page by just deleting everything that is there.

I’ve kept a backup of each page that I’ve posted in the Recipes area (just in case). When I add recipes I always start from what’s posted already (not just my backup in case others have added recipes). I’m sure pogge does frequent backups of the whole site, as well.

Kathy in FL & others - I finally looked in the right place at my local super WalMart for ham boullion (Goya brand). For others as blind as I am, go to the taco section then look around for seasoning mixes.

Just back in town but thought I would tell you of something interesting that I found in an out of town super wally world. It was in the bouillon section but it was garlic and onion done up in bouillon cubes. Too cool.

Will get back with everyone tomorrow afternoon as well as with an ol’ timey “Epidemic Tea” that has cayenne pepper in it. <grin>

Pandemic “Tea”

This was an old scribbled “receipt” in one of my grandmother’s bags of recipe clippings. It was in with some checks from the 1910′s and 20′s so more than likely refers to a flu epidemic.

Grind together the cayenne and salt. Add boiling water. Steep and cool. Add the vinegar to the water mixture. Take a sip every half hour.

Also noted that instead of water you could use boiling hot chamomile or peppermint tea.

Can’t imagine that the taste is anything worth writing home about, but I’ve seen several references in home remedy books that cayenne is a great anti-flu ingredient.

Interesting tidbit of information - a calorie related to food is really a kilocalorie (kcal) of energy (see [[http://health.howstuffworks.com/calorie1.htm|article]). So the database & spreadsheet from the USDA site listing energy in kcal should convert directly to food calories.
