Thanks Baggywrinkle! This is important!

In light of this subject, may I suggest that we start a recipe collection on how to cook with our basic food supplies that we all should be stoking up on?

I'm dead sure that some people don't know how to cook without their pre-packaged-ready -to-do-meals orientation, and someone might just freak out if they can't get ahold of their trusted Pilsbury Pancake Mix anymore. And not to mention baking powder, which you can make if you have the ingredients.

And I'm sure that there is a wide variety of good recipes out there.... just think of the thousands of chili recipes that exist! And please don't tell me, "I just throw in whatever I find in the fridge", though I myself do that at times when I've got leftovers and that's just fine. But I do usually have a basic recipe in mind to start off with.

Some questions that are running through my head:

Do you know how to make unleavened bread? Do you know how to make bread yeast?
Do you know how to make pasta from any flour sorce (wheat, corn, barley, rice, chestnuts, beans, acorns, etc)?
How may ways can you cook rice? Which rice do you use for what recipe?
Which spices do you use and how do you use them?
Are you stocking up on things that when they run out, will not be easy to come by in a crisis situation? Do you need to change your eating plan?
Are you taking measures NOW to avoid hunger o food burn-out in the future, or are you "eating as usual"?
Are you experimenting with or do you have knowledge of cooking with wild growing edible plants in you geographic area?
Would you know how to cure illnesses with your food or with wild plants?
Which food combinations should you avoid so you don't get sick?


Just a thought....

Peace and good will.
