A guide to
self reliant living
2. Manna Meals

A
hand-powered grain mill and hand-cranked meat chopper
-- artistic, and a life-saver! Miles Stair did the
beautiful wood working job on the grain mill stand.
It is beautifully finished and incredibly strong.
Miles hollowed out the bottom 2 x 12 with a router
and filled it with lead, then covered the lead with
a non-slip piece of rubber glued on with silicone
glue. It is heavy, won't move around in use, and best
of all it raises the level of the grinder so that
one does not need to bend over to turn the handle. |

In the past,
hardships taught families the wisdom of storing away preserved
foods and staples such as flour, rice, beans, honey, sugar and
molasses. Severe drought conditions are again occurring in vast
areas of our country - almost the entire mid-west, South, and
East. The "Dust Bowl" days of the '30's are not a
thing of the bitter past, and may be starting again. Serious
storms and tornadoes wreak havoc across our nation.
Drought
has brought starvation to the Horn of Africa and parts of China,
Pakistan and India, extending as far North as Mongolia. The
weather change is world wide, and threatens famine on
an unprecedented scale.

When the
coming days of privation fall upon the land, many food items
might become scarce, rationed, or so hyper inflated in cost
that we will have to do without "normal" staples such
as butter, hamburger or even a simple cake. These and other
staples might well become wistful memories from the present
times of plenty.
Imagine
what a sudden period of unemployment could bring to your family.
In any disastrous situation, the food a family has stored away
is what that family can depend upon.
As many
of us know, with the preserving of food comes a deep sense of
accomplishment and contentment, a special joy that we do have
a certain control over the chaos of uncertain times. "Putting
food by" for our families is a basic instinct of human
beings. Noah worked for years building and stocking up the Ark.
Noah had perfect faith in God.
To forestall the inevitable, take action now. Purchase the
canning tools you will need now, while they are available.
Each tool was designed for a specific purpose, and they do their
job efficiently.
 
These easily prepared and preserved recipes will provide a
change of diet for your family while helping to "keep the wolf
from the door" during hard times.
| The
world may be frightful outside, but manna meals served
with simple elegance, such as with these silver candle-powered
warmers, will add comfort and satisfaction to your back-to-basics
lifestyle. |
