I'm still thinking about raising meat rabbits and maybe get a small chicken tractor. I think you can have a few hens. Roosters are a no-no but every morning I hear them, lol. The landlord said she wouldn't have a problem if the city says it's ok.
When I was vegan I tried to make something called seitan which is suppose to taste and look like meat. The husband and Wildbunch ate it fine. A friend's daughter even told her I had tricked her into eating fake meat but it had a taste I couldn't tolerate. I did recently see and try to make faux...

I'm not a prepper but I do like to buy a lot of stuff at rock bottom prices. The problem everytime I think I have enough stuff to last a few months my daughters come visit and somehow all my extra goods like toothpaste, deodorant, soaps, etc... disappear with them. They seem to think Mom and Dad...
Oldest DD loves okra pickled most of all. We all like it that way but she would literally not eat anything else if there was okra on the table.
