Too much, too soon… Can you handle that?
On the practical side, food storage is so important, yet so taken for granted. Without power, refrigeration is not possible. When that happens, all you can do is eat and hibernate!
We made smoothies and banana bread, and froze the rest. And with photovoltaic and back-up batteries, we can be pretty confident we’ll be okay unless the freezer door is left open. Which has happened in the past!

Sounds a bit like “snake oil,” but…
Fill with water. Place the blue glass container either in the Sun or under an incandescent lamp (not a florescent lamp) for at least an hour. After the water is solarized, it can be used in several ways. Drink it. Cook with it. As a rinse after a bath or shower. Fruits and vegetables love being washed in blue solar water! As with “I love you” and “Thank you” processes, blue solar water voids memories replaying problems in the Subconscious Mind.

The left jug holds 4 liters. The other two hold 3 liters.

Not sure about this, but wouldn’t hurt to try!

There has been much talk about the threat of GMO and Monsanto grown foods these days. What people don’t realize is that the reason you can have a $1.00 Value Meal is because Agribusiness can make cheap food.
