I am not an alarmist--Y2K never held any fear for me, and I was amazed at all the money that was spent by people to "get ready" for it, and then it was a non-event. Still, being prepared is a good thing, andI am thinking the economy is going to tank, too.

He also told us that things were going to get MUCH worse before they would get better. His advice was to stay in (our investments)for the long haul, but to expect the economy to get much worse in the coming months. <br /><br />I am also freezing and canning. Froze an 8 qt. basket of green beans and made 7 pints of pickles. <br /><br />I froze grated zucchini years ago but ended up with watery mush. What did I do wrong? <br /><br />Thanks for the pantry posts and all your information, Brenda!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-19850066481055337332009-07-25T17:12:44.359-04:002009-07-25T17:12:44.359-04:00Aren't those coffee containers the best?

Gee, I'll pass on the guns (though I wonder why he said that...) and stick with the canned goods.<br /><br />Zucchini! I love that stuff grated in cakes and cookies. :DVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-60797341644638009152009-07-25T16:41:03.504-04:002009-07-25T16:41:03.504-04:00We had zucchini in abundance and now ours are fini...We had zucchini in abundance and now ours are finished. I see you have a mandolin slicer--I have trouble using mine. I have also been filling a bucket with scraps today for my husband to take to our compost. I put up a few peaches this morning and a friend brought some corn and I processed that to go in the freezer. I have peach skins and corn cobs to go out but it is so hot here today that my husband says it will be after supper before he gets on his scooter. All this stuff is going to be mighty good come winter. <br /> I signed up to get your latest additions to your blog but I just have to come to get the ambience of your blog.Mariehttp://marieshomeandhobbies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-52363200742268310102009-07-25T15:46:23.800-04:002009-07-25T15:46:23.800-04:00Manuela had a post a short time ago about Susy Orm...Manuela had a post a short time ago about Susy Orman taking a difference stance too on a recent Opra show. I'm with you Brenda, maybe they know something no one is telling us? I agree with Glen Beck that this world/country is upside down from what we knew growing up. I just wish it would stop spinning so we could figure something out and stay on course. Of course my idea of course may not be theirs. Worrying over it does us no good. Preparing as best we can with emergency money and stocked pantrys will not hurt a thing no matter what happens. I know having a pantry has sure helped us to have one less thing to worry about several times in past years. That alone is reason enough for us. Hold on to your hats...and pantry..who knows what is up but we do know Who Is In Charge. He holds our peace.

I say if everyone is starving a loaf of bread would be more valuable than a bar of gold. He disagrees.

Amen...What a super use for the plastic coffee cans!<br />Amen to stocking up. If nothing happens, that would be absolutely wonderful. But, I think we should be prepared.
