The Adventure Continues.....

Update: She's baaa-aack! On the blog, that is. I'm handing the reins back to ES after a too-long hiatus. I have just been baby-sitting it until she was ready to return. Thank you all! Give ES a big welcome back--I know you all really missed her and are eager to hear how things have been going for her these past several months. I missed her, too. ~D

This blog was started by ES, and it was her baby--I just added stuff here and there, and kept it going when she was dealing with her ongoing health crisis.

ES has moved on to her next big adventure, but I wanted to keep the blog going in honor of all the love and hard work she put into it.

I will not pretend to be as informed about things as ES--she knows everything there is to know about anything. But as I continue learning, experimenting, and growing, I will share what I can here. Feel free to contribute--I want this site to continue to be a place to get ideas and learn from one another. ~D

The Self Sustaining Kitchen is a work in progress. What we advocate is getting your family ready for anything.

We will be covering a large range of topics. At times, we will name products by brand name; if we do, it will be because we really like them and find them much better than other products, or they will be just plain crap and we will be warning you about then.

Now why did we name this the Self Sustaining Kitchen? Well, if your local supermarket closed tomorrow how long could you feed you family?

We don't want to sound preachy, we would just like to share what we've learned in our kitchen. We will cover topics such as: preserving food, canning, freezing and drying. We will tell you about dehydrated products that work well for us and if they are cost efficient. Some things may seem a little pricy at first, but work out good in the long run.

If you have any questions or subjects that you would like to see covered, please feel free to email ES at bamagalstuff@gmail.com

PieCake, anyone?

ES and I have been baking PieCakes this evening--14 in all. I think I can make them in my sleep at this point. They are just so darn good, ES decided I should sell them at work to fund my trip to Michigan in December.

I was pleased with the number I sold. And ES, ever the marketer, made labels that gave our home phone number for ordering additional Piecakes. Since most of the people who ordered the PieCakes are taking them to family gatherings, I am hoping to drum up some more business for the BamaGals label. Gotta start somewhere, right?

In 45 minutes, it will be midnight--way past this ole gal's bedtime. It will also be the 21st of November, which just so happens to be ES's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE!

I got a PieCake with your name on it ;-)

Love you!
~D
