March Madness meeting 3/12/09

What a tub full of information we received today at our 2nd Provident Living Enrichment Group!  Yippee!  Thank Naomi for navigating us through the blog.  We can all share now what we learn.  

Today I made a little list of what I want to do together as a group -- here it is:  

- can meat (I need to get a pressure canner/cooker!)

- learn how to use our solar ovens

- learn how to use our dutch ovens

- learn how to use a smoker

- get Naomi to teach us about her Greek yogurt (Is that what it is called?)

- get Gloria to teach us about sour dough starters

- go get some of that mushroom mulch

-dry pack some of the Knox geletin (to be used for egg substitute)

- cook and dry pack all the delicious desserts Sister DeWitt taught us about on the DVD

- storing butter (we'll finish learning that at our next meeting)

- storing fresh eggs (we'll finish learning that at our next meeting)

-learning to dry pack at Nancy's next month

-putting together new 72 hour kits (I have diapers in my current kits - my youngest is 15 -- yikes!)  we'll see Nancy's kits next month 

-make cheese and store

Thanks ladies for jumping on the provident living bandwagon with me -- it's so much nicer than to go at it alone!
