Cooking from Stored Foods - Canned Beef and Veggie Stew, and the Idea of Mirepoix

[snaps81625]

It will be good far longer than a year!!

[therealvirginiawind]

@snaps81625 Yeah, understood that it will be good longer than a year, but it won't last that long around here. I like putting foods away on a regular basis and doing a first in first out consumption to keep my stuff rotated. I don't have a year's supply set aside yet, so this beef and veggie stew will be gone in a few months.

@therealvirginiawind Well keep prepping, don't stop.. we're all going to need it! God Bless!

[therealvirginiawind]

@snaps81625 Prepping is a term that brings us together, but I'd like to see folks moving more towards doing this kind of thing as a lifestyle. It's cheaper, and more healthy than buying boxed foods.

@therealvirginiawind From a small child I have heard about foodstorage, being LDS I was taught at a young age about being prepared.. as a young woman I became interested in the things our ancestors did to survive.. I learned many things and I am very well prepared, but every motn I just add more.. every month.. its a way of life. God Bless!

[therealvirginiawind]

@snaps81625 Yes it is a way of life. My mother was born in the great depression and she's been buying things on sale and putting them away for as long as I can remember. She also uses the food on a regular basis, but at any given time I think she has enough food to last for several months if not longer. It's how she's lived all her life. I know that many of her generation do the same thing, and I think we could do well to follow their example.

Agree, Carrots, Onions and Celery are a delicious combination and a great foundation. Thanks for posting.

[therealvirginiawind]

@bowlmeoverva There's room for tweaking on the carrots onions and celery mix, but starting with that idea you really can't go wrong.

Very nice video. Even better hat! Yep, the Ball/Bernardin mystery was solved awhile ago. Thank you! That recipe is a very good and versatile one. I have made it myself. Then I pop the lid and play with what I want the final outcome to be. I am glad you have enjoyed it as well. Thanks again!

[therealvirginiawind]

Nice Video...and nice hat!

[therealvirginiawind]

@Thesmalltowngardener Love my hats, and especially this one. There's actually an entire book written on these. I had it once, but gave it away. The origin of them has something to do with providing a helmet for woodsmen.

[therealvirginiawind]

@Thesmalltowngardener I do enjoy a nice hat, and the one in this video is one of my favorites.

Thanks for your comments.
