shortages

[wyoDreamer]

I have benn using a KitchenAid meat grinder attachment for over 20 years. I picked up a new one 6 years ago because my original one was starting to split. New one - the base is good, but the grinding parts are cheap crap. So, I combined the parts for a good working single unit. It works good for small amounts.
I freeze venison meat in small chunks in 1-pound packages - defrost until it is soft enough to break apart but still has ice crystals in it. I prefer to grind meat as I need it. IMHO- pregrinding adds air to the meat which helps it freezer-burn faster.

...
I found a grinder at an estate sale (REM brand) for $70. Its still made and retails for +$500. I did have to order parts but I'm ready now.

i'm really envious! what a find!

Is there a raisin shortage? I was at wamart and they are always low stocked compared to others. I didn't have time to shop around.

Chickpea/hummus shortage expected through the next year (or longer) due to Ukraine.

I don't eat enough of any chickpeas to be worried. But anyone who eats a lot of hummus can grow chickpeas....or buy some dried while they're out there. . I think bread grains from there will impact more people.

Chickpea shortage is expected to affect India and Somalia most because its a main protein source there. Somalia is already on the verge. :/

It's not a popular item here, so its an easy one to add a few to my shelf. I figure I use 24 cans per year.

As for grain... I think my family will go grain-free if it gets too expensive or unavailable. I dont have space to stock as much as we would use in a year the way we eat now.

DS7 is practicing baking... those stockpile lists never say to add like 40% more of everything if you dont know how to bake. My chickens will get fat from his baking fails

Only me and I eat sparsely of breads. . Oh, I'll scoff down a fresh, hot loaf, or biscuit -- both dropping in butter. But it's not a daily part of my eats. . Do have several pounds of different flours on hand to make if wanted. Yeast, yep stocked up. Most days it's easy to not have bread.....EXCEPT the first ripe tomato sandwich!!!

That's what we're talking about!

If you're a farm animal over here. Tonight's menu consists of chilled very ripe shredded butternut and acorn squash, topped with your favorite bagged feed (cow or fowl)

Cleaned right up swishing around in a bucket of water

I like it

I may need to rethink my feed supplement. I pulled the bowl out of the refrigerator sat it on the deck. My hunting dog decided it was good. I shoed him away went to slip on my muck boots and Jack was eating out of the bowl. Turkeys, ducks and chickens devoured 1/2 & 1/2, cattle happily eat 1/4 to 3/4. We'll this is one way to put excess garden squash to good use I'm pretty sure squashes are nutritious and fiber rich.

I think tomorrow it'll be chilled zucchini and summer squash.
