Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Canned meals
I got in a canning mood recently. The local grocery store had London broil on sale so I picked up a few and did 21 quarts of beef stew to replenish my stock that we'd eaten.
I believe that every household should maintain a minimum of 3 months food supply on hand and preferably 6 months if storage capacity allows. To achieve that level of preparedness of food storage means you have to go beyond the freezer and look at canning or dried foods. While MREs may keep you alive, I prefer a decent meal if I have the choice.
I choose to can more or less complete meals in addition to my usual stores of single vegetables and meats.
I have a recipe for Taco Soup that is tasty and cans well. I also can chili, spaghetti sauce, and beef stew.
We might be able to survive for two months on the beef stew and taco soup I have canned, but I'm sure we'd rather have a bit more variety.
Does anyone else go about canning meals that are heat and eat for the most part?
