Like a rocket, baby!

It may surprise you to read this, but recently, I did something totally crazy!  Well, crazy for me anyway.  I built a ROCKET STOVE!  Sounds cool, doesn't it?  It is cool, and I'm totally excited about it.  I must confess that I didn't do it alone, though.  My church women's group (The Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints) along with some very helpful husbands made it all possible.

The whole point of a rocket stove is to have a way to cook with very little fuel should you find yourself without power and a regular means of cooking.  Of course, I had to try it out, and my little punks were right in the middle of it!

 So here is the rocket stove with the fire going!

It only takes a few sticks to make a lot of heat.

 Our water is heating up, and we are excited

to cook up some mac n cheese!

 Let's hear it for boiling water:  Ooooh!  Ahhhh!

 In goes the macaroni.

(Or "mac-a-moi-ya" as one of my punks used to call it!

 Then we drained the macaroni and made the cheese sauce.

I know, the excitement is almost too much!

Believe it or not, they were very excited

 that we made lunch outside, on our rocket stove. 

Yeah, I'm a cool mom.

 Say "cheese!"

Or just take a big ol' bite!

Atleast I know we can live on mac n cheese if necessary!

Wendy Dewitt -- Food Storage Seminar, Part 1 of 9. "Top 10 Reasons"

Here it is! There are 9 parts. Take a few minutes and watch!

It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark...

...but today I see the clouds forming.



We, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have been counseled for 80 years to have food storage.  We can't rely on the government or church or anyone else to "save" us in an emergency.  We need to be prepared to take care of ourselves and our families.  I hate the thought of not being able to provide for the needs of my children.

Recently, I was able to attend a seminar by Wendy Dewitt.  Her system for planning, organizing and implementing a one year food supply is awesome!  She has videos of her seminar on YouTube, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to put up the link.  Just type in her name and I'm sure you'll find her.  :0)

She also has a website where you can read all about her system.  You can email her and she will send you (FREE!) 2 booklets with detailed information on how her system works.  I'll type the address in case my link doesn't work like I think it will and you can copy and paste it if you want to.  http://everythingunderthesunblog.blogspot.com/

I am so excited to organize my storage and be prepared for whatever emergencies life my inflict upon my family.  Go check it out!  Hurry up!
