BASIC WHEAT CEREAL RECIPE TOPSimmer a cup of wheat in about one and a half cups of water (from your storedwater supply, for a little realism) until some of the kernels start to burst. Ifthe cooked cereal is too strong for your taste, discard the cooking water andrinse wheat kernels; a little sugar, butter or margarine will make them moreenjoyable. If you soak the wheat kernels in the water overnight, they will startto burst after about forty minutes of simmering.If you soak them for a few days, they will soften to the point where you caneven eat them without cooking them. But remember that a given quantity of seedswill expand to about double its original volume after absorbing water, so don'tsoak them in a too-small container.Although I have never had a problem eating whole kernels of wheat, there havebeen experiments where people ate nothing but boiled whole kernels of wheat for

2 days and wound up with loose bowels. Further experimentation revealed thatcracking the wheat into small pieces before boiling it got rid of the problem. Apepper mill or even stones can be used to crack wheat if necessary.---------------------------------------------------------------------------

POP BOTTLE GREEN HOUSE TOPYou can cut some of your empty soda bottles in half, put dirt in the bottoms,plant wheat seeds, and put them on the dashboard of your vehicle, and park sothat the windshield faces south and acts as a greenhouse; you can even push thebottoms back into the tops (with the caps off, for ventilation) to makeindividual greenhouses and put them on the roof or hood of your vehicle if youhave no more room on your dashboard! Just make sure you secure them by

surrounding them with rocks or tying them together so that the wind does notblow them over.My own experience with greenhouses is that how cold your plants get at night isnot nearly so critical as whether it gets warm enough during the day, and if thesun is shining, the interior of a vehicle is much warmer than outside. Ifgrowing some wheat for greens seems like a good idea, also store garden seedsand use the same method to plant Swiss Chard, a fast-growing leafy vegetablewhose leaves you can keep harvesting over a period of months; Collard Greens aresimilar, and grow better in hot conditions (like behind a south-facingwindshield in summer).But wouldn't it be a good idea to try this method out now? We all know thatgarlic cloves keep well for months; they will grow into plants when plantedsmall end up; the green shoots are edible and garlic is beneficial for health.

If these last two paragraphs on sprouting and growing inside a vehicle seemfar-fetched, consider the psychological benefits of causing something to growthat can be eaten, instead of just living off dwindling stored supplies. And ifyou have to move your vehicle again, your sprouters and planters are portable!I once heard a nutritionist on the radio say that when you eat white riceinstead of brown rice, YOU THROW AWAY FORTY NUTRIENTS. I guess a good analogywould be eating white-flour products instead of whole-wheat products--------------------------------

LOCAL SOURCES FOR BULK GRAINS AND BEANS: TOP


8/8

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, I milled and made bread and pancakes with whole yellow cornthat I purchased from a local feed store because it was not available anywhereelse, including my bulk food supplier.I recently asked another local feed store if they could supply me with wheat,and they indicated that I could purchase a FIFTY-POUND BAG OF WHEAT FOR ABOUTEIGHT DOLLARS, although at the bulk food supplier that I use, a 50 lb bag isabout $15. The difference is that the cheaper variety is mainly used forplanting and to feed animals; however, the same feed store said that they sell

this kind of wheat as well as corn and beans to people from Mexico all the time,who cook it and eat it themselves.I understand that such food might not be subject to all the inspections requiredfor human consumption, and might not have been transported in food-gradecontainers. + the storage facilities in feed stores may not conform toregulations for storage of foods for human consumption.In any case, the corn that I used to get from the feed store was very clean, andany invisible pathogens must have been destroyed by cooking anyway. If you haveno other way to obtain grains and beans at a reasonable cost in the very nearfuture, you may want to consider a feed store. You can upgrade to higher qualitygrains and beans later, if the opportunity arises.-----------------------------------------------

HARD CANDY, CANNED MEAT TOPConsider a supply of hard candy, especially the "sour" kind that has ascorbicacid (Vitamin C) to provide energy without your having to use up your morevaluable protein foods for body fuel.In August 1998, small cans of Libby's Vienna Sausage have an expiration date ofOctober 2000, and are not expensive. Neither are small cans of sardines, andthey have a good storage life as well; the ones packed in oil would probably bea better choice than those packed in sauce. A recent telephone call to HormelFoods revealed that their SPAM AND OTHER HORMEL CANNED PRODUCTS HAVE A SHELFLIFE OF FOUR TO SIX YEARS because they are cooked in the can. Again, considerthese items for bugout packs, in addition to tabouleh.Surely, you have opened a jar of peanut butter and left it in the cupboard for a

close to a year at some point; it kept pretty well, didn't it? It's inexpensiveenough to buy several jars. Ordinary canned vegetables (but not all fruits) aregenerally edible for about two years.My own experience with everyday cooking oils has been that after opening, theywere still quite usable two years later. Some olive oil I opened was good threeyears after I opened it. A manufacturer of vegetable shortening has told me thattheir product has an indefinite shelf life if left unopened.tt

DRY POTATOES TOPI found this in my dehydrater book.Preparation; Peel, wash and slice 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick or shoestring3/16 inch thick , or grate or dice depending on how the dried potato is

to be used. Pretreatment: Steam blanch over water containing 1 tsp. sodiumbisulfite per cup of water 4 to 6 min or until translucent but still firm.Rinse well in cold water to remove gelled starch.Drying Temperature: 160F for 1 to 2 hours, or until done.How to use: Grate slices and rehydreate for hash brown potatoes.H
