Tuesday

Just a reminder about Tuesday night - 6:30.

If you want to make some dough to take home, bring 6 1/2 cups of white flour in a baggie (enriched or unenriched, bread flour or all-purpose). Also, bring a big container with a lid, for example, an empty ice cream bucket.

See you Tuesday!

Food Storage Center Order

**This will not be the only order organized for the year. We are hoping to be able to place several orders throughout 2011. You can prepare your future food storage in wisdom and in good order.

**Orders are to be placed no later than Sunday, February 13, 2011. No late orders will be accepted. You can fax (501-268-4029), email (susiemcgrath@gmail.com), or snailmail (7 Jenny Lynne Drive, Searcy AR 72143).

**If an item is available prepackaged, please order them that way instead of bulk.

**You can only order food and materials in the following areas: BULK, PREPACKAGED ITEMS, and BULK PACKAGING MATERIALS. Oxygen packets can only be sold in 100 packs, so go in with a friend if you need to. If you order bulk and want to can it, you will need to figure out how many cans and lids you will need. Please call or email before the deadline with any questions you may have.

**There will be a shipping fee to help pay for gas. It will depend on the number of pounds ordered, so please keep that in mind. I won’t know how much we will be paying until I get all the orders in.

**Do not send money with your order. After you place your order I will contact you regarding payment, delivery, and pickup. However, it is anticipated we will have the food within a week or two from the date of order.

**We will schedule use of the canner when we get the food.

Recap

Thanks to all of you who braved the freezing weather to attend our meeting last night. Boy, was it cold!

Thanks to David Clark for the chicken demonstration (very enlightening) and to Janet for the yummy chicken dishes. I have a favorite, but I won't tell you which one.

Are we inspired yet?

We didn't get a chance to go over our grocery lists to see what we could cut from our "convenience" side. Let's plan on that next time, shall we?

As promised - those of you who took some samples home.......

Recipes to use with the dehydrated peanut butter can be found HERE.

Instructions for the dehydrated refried beans:
Bring ¾ cup of water to a boil. Add 1 cup dried bean flakes. Stir. Cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Stir before serving.

Consider: Chocolate Syrup

Hershey's Chocolate Syrup:
high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, coco, sugar, potasssium sorbate, salt, mono-and diglycerides, xanthan gum, polysorbate 60, vanillin, artificial flavor.


Homemade Chocolate Syrup:
cocoa, water, sugar, salt, vanilla



HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP

½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla

Mix the cocoa powder and the water in a saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve the cocoa. Add the sugar, and stir to dissolve. Boil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Be careful not to let it get too hot and boil over! Add the salt and the vanilla. Let cool. Pour into a clean glass jar, and store in the refrigerator. Keeps for several months, but trust me it will be gone before then. Yields two cups
