In the previous five postings I discussed emergency preparedness from food to clothing, lighting and health care in general. I’d like to take this opportunity to advise you about being packed or semi-packed for an emergency, and what a thoughtful gift either a full travel bag or partial one makes. Although I normally consider the […]
This title is rather redundant to the blog, after all, my main point of doing these postings is trying to make and keep everyone ready for almost any situation. In the past few posts I have been discussing emergency preparedness, especially what to have on hand for power-outages. But having the supplies listed, (and […]
I have heard from a number of people, (some commented here), on how they had not realized how unprepared or vulnerable they are. We don’t need to panic or live in fear, I’d just like to see everyone be a little more comfortable in a power-outage, with or without extenuating problems,(extreme cold or heat, for […]

In previous posts on freezing foods,[September 2012 Archives], I mentioned that I have been pre-cooking most of the foods I place in the freezer. It makes for easier, quicker […]

The post of a month ago I suggested being prepared by keeping and emergency bag packed and how I have used them as gifts, especially for anyone anticipating a hospital stay. I am going to reiterate many of the suggestions plus food suggestions for those who travel for work or research, those in the armed […]
Unless you have extra rooms or you are an ’empty nester’, you may be pressed for room when you have someone stay overnight or longer. Consider planning ahead and being creative. Years ago I had the most darling townhouse. I had planned on finishing the basement and adding a bedroom, as many people in the […]
Friends, this is my version of an easy ‘dry tempura’. Tempura is the term used for batter-fried fish and vegetables; my recipe has the same ingredients, but done in an easy, double-step process: dipped first in liquid, then dipped in dry breading before deep-frying. I will give my very basic recipe and try it this […]
