Well, Ebola is Back In The News

 This is very scary! People who thought that they were cured of the Ebola virus are having relapses about one year later. There have been other complications reported in other Ebola patients. What about all of the thousands that had been "cured" of Ebola in Africa?? This can turn out to be a very nasty re-outbreak.

 Ebola Returns: 2nd Case of Relapse Raises Questions

Second Ebola Nurse Now In Critical Condition

We all need to take car of ourselves and make sure that our pandemic emergency kits are prepped and ready. Be prepared for if you have to shelter in place.


Lets pray that this does not turn into something horrific. Just be prepared for anything. If nothing happens at least you know that you had taken the precautions.

Commercial Restaurant Equipment

Planning Ahead Reduces Stress
Running a restaurant or dining operation requires great attention to detail. There are many aspects that must be considered. The daily practices of running a food service operation involve more than just food. Finances, inventory and other business functions must also be considered. There are a few ways to ensure that the operations flow smoothly.

Focus on Food First
The food is perhaps the most important focal point. The menu is what will attract potential customers to a dining establishment. Review the menu carefully and take note of the most popular items. It is important to always have proper inventory on hand so that there is never a delay in preparing the items that customers enjoy most.

Train Staff Consistently
It is also important to train staff so that each staff member prepares a menu item the same way every time. Repeat customers will develop expectations, and consistency will help keep them satisfied. Make sure that each dish looks and tastes the same way every time. Menu items should only be prepared differently in cases where a customer specifically requests a change.

Make sure that there are always enough staff members to handle the demands of the business. Monitor sales for each hour that the restaurant is open to determine how many staff members will be needed. It is typical to have more staff on hand during busier times, such as lunch or dinner. Slower time periods may only require minimal staffing.

Use Professional Equipment
Part of making sure that items consistently have a quality appearance is keeping quality ingredients stored correctly. Using commercial restaurant equipment is a way to have enough storage space to keep an adequate inventory. Restaurants who do not have adequate space are sometimes forced to substitute their usual ingredients with items of a lower quality. For example, a refrigerator that is too small may cause a restaurant to run out of an essential ingredient. Professional suppliers, such as Mission Restaurant Supply, can provide kitchen equipment that offers plenty of storage space.

These suggestions will help make operating a food service establishment easier. It can be difficult to juggle all of the demands of food service. Tracking sales, using proper equipment and having a trained staff can lighten the workload.

Another Dollar Tree Find

Every time that I go to Dollar Tree they have some new item that looks so good. A while back they had these sauce packs that were great in the crockpot - I had gotten the stir fry one that was so good.  This one is for the skillet. You fry up some ground beef and then add this sauce to it. Have not tried it yet, but it will probably be as yummy as the other flavors. The only bad thing is that this is one of those things that you get at Dollar Tree once and then they never have them again. You have to watch for items like that. Get them while they have them.

Must Have Item ~ Food Storage

These packets of gravy mix and seasonings are a low cost way to add variety to your food storage. You can do just about anything with them. I use the brown gravy ones to season my roast that I slow cook in my crock pot. The country gravy is great for putting over pork chops, country fried steak, and biscuits.  These packets are a frugal person's dream. I usually get them 2 for $1.00, but sometimes they are on sale 3 for $1.00. Watch for the sales and stock up!! Keeps your food storage from getting boring. These are a great way to season up things and turn a boring meal into something fabulous. The chicken gravy can make instant potatoes taste a lot better!!

Food Storage Recipe - Potato Bake

My mom used to make this for us when I was a kid and why I just now remembered it , I will never know. But I loved it then and after making them last night , I still love them.

Easy to make and used stuff that was in my food storage pantry.

NEED:

1 egg

1 tablespoon milk

1 envelope of seasoned coating mix for chicken, pork, etc , like Shake 'n Bake

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

2 cans (16 ounces) of whole new potatoes, drained

Heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl.

In another bowl mix the coating mix and the cheese together.

Roll the potatoes in the egg and then the coating mix.

Place them on a greased baking sheet.

Bake them uncovered for about 30 minutes. 

Store Hope With Advanced Biobanking

I think that this is such an amazing thing to do. Parents can save stem cells from their babies umbilical cord through cord blood banking. This is a way for families to have the stem cells for future medical treatments that might be needed done. The stem cell transplants have been used in the treatment of 80 different diseases. That is the best reason for doing cord blood banking, in my opinion.

Any parent would want to have the chance to save their child's life, if they could. This process has been used in more than 20,000 patients worldwide. That is a wonderful reason to store stem cells in a  cord blood bank. The stem cells that are found in the cord have been used in treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, muscular dystrophy, and many more diseases. The new science of regenerative medicine is finding new uses for these stem cells every day. Worth it to save some of your babies stem cells from their umbilical cord. If it could save their life, anything is worth the chance. LifebankU can do this. They can do the process that needs to be done to save the cord blood and the placenta.

When someone has treatment using stem cells it has to be a perfect match and with Advanced Biobanking from Placental Blood Banking, Complete Placenta Banking, Cord Vessel Banking, and Cord Platelet Rich Plasma Banking you have this assurance. Banking the entire placenta lets you have the chance for new treatments for more than 80 diseases. The donors and the patient. With having your babies stem cells banked for them , you have 100% match for any stem cell transplant that is needed. If you had to search for a stem cell match it might take years and still be unsuccessful. I wish that I had known about this when I was pregnant with my older children. If I was to have anymore children, I would do this in a heartbeat. There are too many ways for a child to get sick , that to have this as a way to help them and to help them survive a disease would be worth it to save their stem cells for them. A little bit of insurance. That you might not have to use, but wouldn't be great to know that you had this potentially life-saving treatment at hand if it was needed. I imagine most parents feel the same way that I do. That anything that would be needed to help our children would be done. This is just another way to insure our children will live a healthy and long life.

If you are pregnant or know someone that is, let them know that LifebankUSA is the only place that offers Advanced biobanking. They can go the website and download an information package. Find out what this is for yourself and your child. Check it out and don't let a chance to protect your child's health pass you by.

I Have My Garlic Bulbs!

My son is so awesome! He brought us home a bag of garlic bulbs.

I plan on doing half of them indoors. When you do grow them indoors , you have to have them in at least 6" pots , so they have room to develop. They also need a very sunny spot.

Planting them outside...Garlic can be planted in rows 18" apart or in beds. Dig a shallow trough in the soil, plant the cloves two inches deep and four inches apart--pointed end up--and cover with soil. Water the bulbs just after planting. Water the plants regularly, keeping the soil moist but not wet.

Add a two inch layer of straw mulch after the cloves have taken root and the plants are about six inches tall. The mulch will help conserve water and protect the roots during the hotter days of summer.

Harvest the garlic when the leaves turn yellow and brown as they dry. Use a shovel to loosen the soil around the plants. Pull the bulbs from the soil, shaking off any loose dirt. Store the bulbs by hanging then by the tops or placing them on a table in a cool, dry place.

Top 10 Reasons to Raise Rabbits For Meat

You may have been considering raising chickens, geese, ducks, goats, sheep or other small livestock for meat, but once you learn how easy it is to raise rabbits, you'll never consider another animal for a primary meat source.

1. Rabbits have an extremely high reproduction rate. One healthy, mature doe can produce up to 1000% of her body weight every year. Owning just one female and one male can supply meat twice a week for a family of four. 
2. Rabbits need very little living space. Whether you're living in a condo or out in the country, you can always find space to raise a couple rabbits. No grazing is required and they're rarely classified as livestock which allows you to keep them virtually anywhere. How many apartment complexes would let you keep a chicken or goat in them?
3. Rabbits are low maintenance. Check in on them every evening to feed, water and do quick health checks, clean their cages once a month and keep a simple breeding journal - that's all you need to do! Females take care of the young themselves and the only special tools you'll need are nesting boxes which you can even build yourself. No incubators or hand feeding required.
4. Rabbits are virtually silent roommates. Aside from the mating shriek, rabbits are extremely quiet animals. They won't reveal your location to anyone, even if you're traveling with them. Who knows what a chicken, goose or duck is likely to attract, not to mention a rooster. If outdoor cages are well hidden and clean, neighbors may not even know they are there.
5. A little rabbit feed goes a long way.  When bunnies are being weaned (6-8 weeks old), they are large enough for consumption. This allows you to skip giving most of the bunnies feed as you gradually cull the young, leaving only the adults to consume expensive rabbit feed.
6. Rabbits are the perfect sized meal for a family of four. Rabbits are compact and usually butchered at "fryer size" (3-5 pounds), so you don't have to worry about storing or eating leftovers.
7. Rabbit manure will make your garden love you. Rabbit manure is an excellent fertilizer for your garden that won't burn plants. Plus, if you vermicompost, your worms can be fed the droppings which will make them love you too.
8. Rabbit meat is very high in protein and extremely low in fat and cholesterol. Very few other meats have nutritional values like rabbits, and none of them can be raised in your living room. Doctors have actually been known to prescribe rabbit meat diets to overweight patients.
9. Rabbit fur will make an incredibly warm coat and is a great bartering item. On a cold winter's night, snuggling into a blanket made from rabbit pelts will keep your family warm long after the fire has gone out. You can also make hats or other accessories, and kids love getting a lucky rabbit's foot.
10. Rabbits are relatively easy to butcher and clean. No one likes doing it but if you're going to eat them, they day will come eventually. Someone with experience can take a rabbit from cage to freezer in 15 minutes or less. No plucking is needed and there's very little cleanup.

Tiffany Savage is a suburban homesteader who has been living a more sustainable life for too many years to count. When she discovered how easy raising rabbits for meat was, she immediately wanted to share her knowledge with others. That's when she wrote the eBook Raising Rabbits to Survive!, a comprehensive eBook which gives even those who've never even raised a goldfish the courage to start on their own journey to freedom by raising rabbits.

Oil Lamps

We went to some thrift stores and a flea market today. Something that I noticed was that if you are wanting oil lamps, then flea markets and thrift stores are the place to get them! They are something that anyone who wants to be off-grid or prepared has to have. I use mine all of the time even now.

They are a great way to save money and use when power goes out. If you ever see them , buy them , if you can. They are worth the money! I have little ones and I have huge antique ones that give off a ton of light.

Oil lamps are something that you have to invest in. You can even cook over them , too. There are many ways to do that. Google cooking with an oil lamp and you will find many ways. Even on this blog.

How To Survive the Zombie Apocalypse Virus: the health survival handbook

How To Survive the Zombie Apocalypse Virus: the health survival handbook was a free book for the kindle when this post was written. Use the free kindle reading app if you do not have a kindle. That is what I use. It was free and works just like an actual kindle.

 How To Survive the Zombie Apocalypse Virus, The Health Survival Handbook description:

The book title describes vividly what the book is about. In today's world, for many of us, health can be a never ending battle at the best of times, never mind a zombie virus pandemic. Whilst we can get to the Doctors now, without too much bother, what would happen if this resource disappeared as could be the case in the event of a virus pandemic, spread by zombies or anything else for that matter. How would we manage? The simple fact is that for most of us, we would have a major problem. We are now so reliant on pills, medicines and health services generally that we are
ignorant of how our bodies work and how we can live a healthy life. It's the price we pay for specialisation in our advanced society.

However, even surrounded by today's pollution, we can both build up our immune systems and help deal with illnesses if we know how.

OK, you might think 'what are the chances of contracting a zombie virus?' and you'd be right in thinking that it probably won't happen (phew) but the point of the book title and the narrative is that firstly, if you are healthy and fit enough to deal with a zombie virus attack, then you are likely to live a longer, happier and more successful life regardless of it happening or not. But if anything happened that caused our fragile infrastructure to disappear then you would enter that period fitter, more able to cope and have the critical information necessary to survive all basic day to day health challenges.

That critical information is contained within a wealth of knowledge within this book.

In easy to follow writing, Linda Bostock, describes how our bodies work, what can go wrong and how to help prevent problems; prevention is considerably better than cure.

Linda is a highly qualified and experienced consultant medical herbalist and nutritionist and wrote the book after experiencing in her clinics, how little the average person knows about the human body and its care and how the modern diet is causing havoc with our and our children's health. We really can do a huge amount if we just know what to do and this health survival handbook provides a complete blue-print for healthy living before and after the zombie apocalypse virus.

Some of it may be hard work but the prize of being in control of your health is hugely worth it!
