How to Be a Prepper on a Budget

 September is Be Prepared month. I just got this in under the wire. I'm going to start getting organized!

Chocolate Moose

I had a craving for something sweet tonight. I'm getting down to the bare pantry, but someone had given me a box of instant hot chocolate. Now it has been way too hot to drink hot chocolate, but occasionally I had mixed it in milk just for something sweet. Now I'm hoarding my milk to have with my coffee in the morning. I may have 1/3 cup left. So I wondered what the mix would taste like with water. After all, it's the chocolate I was after.
I dumped two packages of the powder in a cup and slowly added water while stirring. I managed to get it all dissolved. It tasted a little like a runny chocolate mousse. Not too bad if you're desperate for something sweet.

Adopt a Dog Products on Zazzle

 Another article to go with Adopt a Shelter Dog month.
I really wish I could adopt a dog. There's just no room for another right now and I'm almost out of dog food as it is. The guys have been getting a lot of rice mixed in their food.

Writing and Creating

I've been busy writing and creating new things for my Zazzle store. I just wrote about some great kid's books about llamas. Doesn't seem like too many people have kids or like llamas but I liked it.
I wrote another article on the fact that October is Adopt a Shelter Dog month. Then I got the idea to make things on Zazzle to promote it. So now you can read about it and wear a tee shirt or a button too! Spread the word. Those pups need homes!

Speaking of pups, I've created a new page called "buy the dog a bone." There's a link at the top of the page. Please stop in and see what it's about.

Things I Learned from my Lamas

I just published an article about my dear lamas.

Pizza and Zazzle. Too Many Zs

Today I am still waiting for my truck to be fixed. It has been a month now. I hope that's it for a while but I fear not.
I hitched a ride to the church food pantry today. My neighbor was given a pizza but she didn't like it so gave it to me. It was pretty bad. The crust was good, but the topping looked and tasted like it had been painted on. I cut a piece and put it in a frying pan and added some tomato sauce. I didn't have any cheese but had anchovies (of all things to get from a food pantry....) I happen to like anchoves so I threw some on. Not bad. At least it pretends to be a pizza. If I had more milk and some vinegar, I could have made cheese, but I'm down to my last four dollars. No money to squander on vinegar.
I've been working like crazy on my Zazzle store. If you haven't been by in a while, come by and take a look. I've been really cleaning it up and redoing the look as well as adding a ton of new stuff.
