    https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFMrGM3X/ I love this woman. She is one of the people whose words and thoughts made a difference to me in coming around to the right.

  • Prepping – Three Days Without Water

    Prepping – Three Days Without Water

    Following the basic rules of three, we can live without water for three days. That’s not entirely true, but it’s close enough. Water is largely what we’re made of, being between 50% and 60% of our makeup. Water keeps our brains working, flushes toxins out of our bodies and protects our muscles, helps lubricate our…

  • Bonus Food Post – Pork Bolognese Sauce

    Bonus Food Post – Pork Bolognese Sauce

    Chris wanted me to share my sauce from last night, so I said heck with it. I liked it enough that I’m going to post it up here now. To start off, this was my first attempt at making a Bolognese from scratch. I’ve always used jarred sauces and then “spiffed them up” in the…

  • Fact Checking the Debate

    Fact Checking the Debate

    I had to give this one a few days. I watched most of the debate, but had to tune out after the umpteenth time the moderators interrupted the debate to say things that are just not true. All in all, it wasn’t so much a debate as a dog-pile on Trump. I thought Trump handled…

  • Chicken Stew

    Chicken Stew

    Stew is the bedrock of my winter meal plan. Part of my family dislikes soup, but is okay with something thicker. Stew is the way to go! Stew is basically a protein (chicken, beef, lamb, etc), a fat (bacon grease, olive oil, veg oil, etc), vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, etc), and a starch (rice, beans,…

  • Prepping – Post Apocalypse

    Prepping – Post Apocalypse

    Are you ready for what happens after the apocalypse? I’m not talking about the zombie apocalypse here, nor am I referring to the next pandemic. The apocalypse I mean is the one that’s currently predicted: Harris winning the election. I know some of you are laughing, but please don’t. I am quite serious about this.…

  • I Just Don’t Understand…

    I Just Don’t Understand…

    I admit it, I’m struggling. I don’t understand a lot of this. I know what I thought and said four years ago. I know what I felt during Trump’s first four years. I know that I had a small inkling into the lies of the Left, but not enough to make me change. Now? Now…

  • The Weekly Feast – Beef Barley Soup

    The Weekly Feast – Beef Barley Soup

    For me, the flavors in a good soup are the taste of autumn. I adore soup weather, and with the nights getting colder, I’m looking up my soup recipes. Last week, I made a small pot of beef barley soup, and I impressed even myself. It’s easy to do, and you can even pop it…

  • Prepping – Three Weeks Without Food

    Prepping – Three Weeks Without Food

    BOOM! It happens. The meteor hits, or the fungus zombies arise, or civil unrest causes a loss of infrastructure. Whatever the emergency, the S sure has HTF. It’s time to break out the bug out bag or the get home bag, or check on your emergency stash of stuff. Yep, all there. My question is,…

  • General Wednesday Musings

    General Wednesday Musings

    I was running behind the gun this week due to the long weekend. I’m tired after three days at the Fort, and all the packing and all the work while there. So I’m going to just toss some news spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks. Fort stuff – I went on Friday, and…
