Hurricane Season 2022

Alright y’all it’s that time of year. June First, the first day of hurricane season. Usually, mid-October things start to calm down. This year however, I don’t know. We’re six months out and we are seeing the development of WW III, inflation and shrinkflation. Gas prices going through the roof and markets going on a rollercoaster ride. So an extended Hurricane season somehow wouldn’t be a shock.

Let’s review some basic hurricane season prep plans. Insurance policies. Do you have them stored somewhere safe? Good!

Water! We can go up to three days without food, but not water. 

Food! Having high quality protein food is essential. 

Bug Out Spot! If you have to leave your home do you have somewhere you can go? Got it covered. Awesome!

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Look at this… ๐Ÿ‘€ https://pin.it/7uhRMe1

It’s 90ยฐ here in Southeast Michigan. Are you ready for Summer. Here’s one of many no bake desserts to come. Perfect for summer. This is the time of year if you take a short cut from the store it’s okay. I do.

Peanut butter pie is awesome. This one isn’t your Amish Peanut Butter Pie. But it does have promise. It only has four ingredients. Pick up a Graham cracker crust, place filling in and refrigerate over night. Couldn’t be easier.

This idea just came to me so, I will have to do more looking to make y’all have recipes that are easy to put together and require little if no cooking. We’ve all been warned about rolling blackouts and brown outs. What hell is the difference? Anyway, we’re in for a long hot Summer so let’s find creative ways to stretch our food without break our budgets.

Classic Russian Kotleti (Meatballs) – Momsdish

https://momsdish.com/recipe/165/classic-russian-kotleti

Kotleti is basically a meatball. It’s very popular in Eastern Europe. Kotleti mixes Russian, Salvic and Ukrainian cuisine. These little meatballs have the best of each.

What to serve them with? [ะŸัŽั€ะต] Mashed potatoes is one option. Peas or really anything you choose. Buckwheat is served with Kotleti. I didn’t mention it to start with because I don’t know many people who eat it. Eastern European countries often serve what they call Kasha. In a nutshell it’s their buckwheat version of our grits. In the American South we eat shrimp and grits. This how Kasha is served.

Marinated vegetables are suggested in the article. Cabbage or perhaps kraut. If you grew up eating Koltleti please post what your family served with it.

How to Set a Table: Basic, Casual and Formal Table Settings | Real Simple

https://www.realsimple.com/holidays-entertaining/entertaining/how-to-set-a-table

As a child, I was often tasked with setting the table. Most times it dinner on the weekend when my dad was home.

Holidays were huge. I had to set the table for each. It had to be right. Napkin had to be in the right position. Fork and knives had be placed for easy use. I have the 1954 Better Hones and Gardens Cookbook I learned from.

This article here gives an updated version of these traditional formal and informal settings. Hope y’all enjoy.

20 Traditional Korean Breakfast Recipes – Insanely Good

https://insanelygoodrecipes.com/korean-breakfast-recipes/

Here are 20 recipes that might make you rethink your breakfast rut. If you love spicy, you’re going to find something here that’s for sure.

Coffee first thing in the morning or a sweet smoothie type of drink, covered. Oatmeal your morning jumpstart. No problem. The Korean Cuisine even has a porridge. Yeah! Okay. When I think of porridge I think of England, Ireland or Scotland for that matter. I don’t think Korean Cuisine. I will now.

Pancakes savory or sweet can be found here. Now here’s a breakfast trend I found strange is avocado mashed and spread across toast. I said strange because I am not a fan of avocado. Fried rice! Got it. Omlete! Covered.

The Korean Cuisine is absolutely amazing.

Watch “Weekly Grocer Walk Through: Walmart” on YouTube

https://youtube.com/shorts/APjL26jGnCc?feature=share

The prices of gas was from earlier this week. However, they haven’t changed. Lucky I guess.

Anyway this is how things were looking at the Frenchtown Michigan Walmart. Onions were slightly cheaper than Kroger or Meijer’s. But they were out. Barbecue sauce was hit or miss depending on your favorite brand. A month ago the corn husk for tamales went up a dollar. I have never noticed the dried shrimp. It’s used in Asian Cuisine as well. Bread I always buy is still $.93. As long as it stays there I will buy it.

World has only 10 weeks of wheat supply left, expert warns โ€” RT Business News

https://www.rt.com/business/556084-world-wheat-supply-warning/

10 weeks to worldwide famine. Little dramatic. Except it’s not. What we are currently buying is from last year? And it’s about out.

To be honest, the situation between Russia and Ukraine has nothing to do with. The was in lockdown off and on for about a year. That that translates to not much planting or harvesting. What was planted and harvested was of poor quality. Not even salvageable.

There’s always more to a story than meets the eye. The fact is we as a society are at a crossroad. Go straight and run into a field. Right or left is a coin toss.
