Countries Hoarding Food and Supplies


   I was reading and came across some very disturbing articles of what countries are doing with their food supply. Please take the time to read a few (listed below) and get ready to prepare your homes, pantries, cold cellars. We will not be receiving the normal imports of food like we used to. You can see the effects already with bare shelves. This will not resolve itself any time soon. We are looking at food shortages and depression (economic). As well Convid19 will come back during the winter time with a vengeance. Please prepare your homes so you will not have to be out with those that are not prepared. Slow and steady buying a little extra here and there will make a big difference in your pantries. Many shoppers experienced frustrated people that were angry and physically violent. 

Consider growing your own food. Learn simple recipes and write them down for reference in case there is no internet. Learn to cook simple meals. Challenge yourself to mend/sew coats, clothing, and home items. Recycle old fabric, clothing, pillows, comforters/sheets/blankets make them into something new. Challenge yourself to Learn a New Skill that will help you and family. Countries Starting to Hoard Food, Threatening Global Trade

Vanilla Depression Era Cake No Eggs No Milk No Butter

Vanilla Depression Cake Recipe

Good morning friends. I want to begin sharing recipes I have found through recipe books and on-line. I encourage you to visit the site below to see hints and tips on the comment section and other great recipes that can be found. 
Site Name:  Premeditated Leftovers
https://premeditatedleftovers.com/recipes-cooking-tips/vanilla-depression-cake/

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cups water
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 2 – 9 inch round cake pans.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl.
  3. Add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix with a whisk until well-blended. Do not overbeat. It will still turn out even if there are a few small lumps.
  4. Divide the batter between the 2 greased cake pans.
  5. Bake on a middle rack of oven for 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
