I found these rechargeable light bulbs at Lowes a few weeks ago.You use them as a lightbulb and then if your power goes out these will kick on and last for 3.5 hours! They will flash for a few seconds before they go out all of the way so you can be prepared for the dark! I bought 2 of them. Put 1 in the living room and one in my son's room. They are surprisingly bright, even after the power goes out. I have been using the one in the living room every night. By time I get ready for bed , It goes out on it's own.
This is perfect for camping or at home just wrapped up and stuck in the oven. Great way to warm up the kitchen on a cold morning.
NEED
● 1 ¾ cups cubed cooked ham steak
● 3 peeled and cubed potatoes
● 1 1/ 3 cups Alfredo Sauce
. ● 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
● 2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
Cut one large piece of foil around 20” x 18” and spray with cooking spray.
Spoon your ham into the middle of your piece of foil and add your potatoes on top.
Pour your Alfredo Sauce on top of the potatoes and then sprinkle with cheese.
Fold your foil into a packet, creasing all of the edges to firmly close it while leaving a small tent over the ingredients.
Put your closed packet on the hot coals of your campfire or on top of your heated grill.
Cook for 20 minutes, flipping the packet half way through cooking.
Make sure your potatoes are tender after 20 minutes of cooking, if not, continue cooking a bit more time til they are done.
Starting seeds indoors! They are growing so good. I hope they transplant great. I have a shelf in my kitchen in front of a south facing window full of starts. Tomatoes, green beans, baby corn, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, green peppers, sunflowers, and more more. I am doing a garden 2 times bigger than I had last year. Also trying potatoes this year. So happy yesterday when I seen 2 little potato plants growing.
Everyone grow some food!! Anything!! Start a container garden if you have to.
I couldn't get to a store to get potting soil so I ordered this SPONGEASE Coco Coir Brick, Makes 2 gals Potting Soil for seedlings, Rooting, Vegetables, Berries, Roses, Orchids, House Plants, hydroponics, Worm Farms, Animal Bedding
from Amazon. It worked great. I love it and will probably use it from now on.
Homemade Tomato paste
Some recipes require tomato paste. You can prepare a lot of this when tomatoes are ready to harvest and freeze it.
NEED:
• 5 lbs. chopped plum tomatoes
• 1/ 4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. • salt, to taste
Instructions - Heat 1/ 4 cup of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes. Season with salt. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until very soft, about 8 minutes. Pass the tomatoes through the finest plate of a food mill. Push as much of the pulp through the sieve as possible and leave the seeds behind. Cook in slow cooker for 4 hours on low. Store sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month, or freeze, for up to 6 months.
