The bread making thread got me thinking

[STOMP442]

So since we are all potentially looking at empty store shelves or worse due to this virus crap I thought it would be interesting to share how too's or favorite recipes to help keep food on the table for our families during these trying times such as how to make tortillas or fry bread or your favorite jerky recipe and how to make it. Whats your favorite meal or casserole thats easy to make and you're able to eat leftovers of for a couple of days because its so good. Anything that is helpful and self-reliance related.

Two different advice posts

I've started eating organ meats, but the taste is a little--"peculiar". So I make jerky out of it. Everyone has their own recipes, I just tweeked mine to include apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and a lesser portion of molasses instead of sugar or honey. I still use soy sauce and worcestershire sauce (homemade) in it also. I use the cheap dehydrators that utilize blow dryer technology.

Fermented vegetables is another easy to accomplish way to store some good foods. i have 3 quarts of sauerkraut almost finished.

I started another batch of beef bone broth last night. I only use bones from sources known to feed their cattle entirely from grasses.

There is no shortage of food or basic supplies, our problem is a supply chain that was set up for normal shopping behavior. What we are seeing at the supermarket is the result of advise to buy 2 weeks worth of food and shelter in place. That poorly thought out advice caused store shelves to empty, shoppers becoming convinced that basics were in short supply, and hence panic buying and hoarding.

Once hoarding tendencies diminish and store shelves have more products, everything will begin to return to normal. Those sheltering in place will begin to realize that they can still go to the store for food and supplies and also be in compliance with shelter declarations.

This is when good leadership means doing a lot more than just posing for a photo op or sound bite.

Or conversely, and my personal favorite; "poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine"...LOL

I've got a great recipe for honey oat bread. Takes all day to make it, but definitely worth the trouble.

Problem is all the stores are out of yeast.

I’m not kidding I have a reserve coming through that I feed twice a day and they require no refrigeration

Care to share your recipe? Never thought about DIY worcestershire sauce.

I have my great grandparents old cast iron sausage stuffer. I make homemade fresh and smoked sausage. Mostly brats and andouille. I also make homemade breakfast sausage. I watch the sales for pork shoulders, then buy a lot of them. Some get boned out and ground for the various sausage, and some go into the wood fired pit whole for pulled pork. Vacuum seal everything and freeze.

i just learned about soda bread.... no yeast involved. comes out something like biscuits or short cake. uses baking powder for leavening. mix and bake immediately..

Now that were making bread, remember it has no preservatives. Before it starts making penicillin mold, ya need to use it up. You can also use those eggs about to expire. Find a good recipe for French toast and make a bunch. Freeze the excess by placing in the freezer on a sheet of wax paper. Let em freeze solid and then package in meal size bags. When frozen solid they can be vacuum packed.

I use this one:

The mustard powder might be the only thing you don't have in your kitchen already.

Sitting at the Dinner table Sunday evening my wife asked what would we do if we ran out of food....I looked out the glass slider at the squirrel raiding the bird feeder...Hmmm. There is one meal. Oh yes, she has already done a test run on homemade bread, both in a bread machine...took a while to remember where it was last stored, and the old fashion way, rising and kneading...not bad...we will survive this and be better for it..be careful and good luck to all.

Man that sounds like the way to do it.

I have a couple Pork shoulder roasts, whats everyone's favorite pulled pork recipe? How about your favorite sauce recipe? I have always wanted to make my own sauce but don't have any idea where to begin.

I still go to the grocery store or farmers market as needed. Aside from rice, dry beans, etc that I normally buy in bulk for soups and such, living in the middle of a large city under quarantine has made shopping at the markets quite nice. No huge crowds, people are being polite and courteous, maintaining distance. Bought an entire fresh salmon fillet for ~$20, fresh breads, a medium bag of fresh clams for $5.

To be clear, I'm not being careless, I'm washing my hands, sanitizing, staying away, etc.

Pork shoulder
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
2 tablespoons kosher salt
Place shoulder in a good roasting pan rind down add liquid smoke and salt coating entire shoulder.
Cover with foil cook in oven @ 300° every hour or so check and break up as much as shoulder will allow.
After about 4-5 hours you'll have the best Kalua pork you've ever ate.
Serve with mac salad and teriyaki sauce and sticky rice.
Teriyaki sauce
2 cups kikoman soy sauce
2 cups brown sugar packed
1 cup karo syrup
1-2 cups warm water " helps break down sugar"
I know these recipes very well, my wife owned a drive through serving plate lunch.
I ate there daily!!

A friend of mine’s sister would raise a few pigs each year for personal butchering. She always had one for him, and he would split his with me. We would do a group butcher in late December after the weather cooled down in Wisconsin. It was an area with lots of apple orchards, so the pigs were feed dropped apples for a month or two, from the local orchards. It really helped to sweeten the meat. I still follow with the apple idea. When making pulled pork, I smoke the butts with a mix of apple and pecan wood. It’s a lot milder smoke. I give them about 6 hours in the smoker, because they don’t take on more smoke beyond 3-5 hours. I then transfer the meat into a large nesco roaster with apple juice for moisture. I continue cooking until the shoulder bone will pull out of the meat by hand. Then shred the meat and let soak up some of the apple juice, and package in vacuum seal bags. Everyone is amazed at the taste!
