Thrifty Food Buy and Uses for 15 August 2012
This is my only “regular” weekly post, and it revolves around stores in my area, and food that we eat. We practice “Eat what you store, store what you eat”.

Pork Fat Rules! or “How to Render Your Own Lard”
Paleo gold! Well..how about ivory? Whatever, its TASTY stuff that I’ve been trying to get my hands on for a while. Yes, I know you can buy it at any grocery store around here. But did you know every can I’ve looked at in every store in three counties all contain “BHA and BHT” ? […]
Tomato Juice from Long Term Preps, or “How to Make a Bloody Pirate after a Hurricane”
One of the things we stock plenty of is tomatoes in various forms – sauce, diced, and paste. One of the things we don’t stock up on is tomato juice, though we have made some tomato-based V-8 knockoff that I called “V-13” for the 13 different veggies we put in it. Unfortunately, its a bit […]
Thrifty Food Buys for 26 July 2012
This weekly post will revolve around stores in my area, and food that we eat. Saving money by buying in bulk is no good if you are storing food you will never eat. “Eat what you store, store what you eat” will be my guidelines. To me, this means very little food that includes any […]

Paleo Mole Crab Poppers or “With Baited Breath”
I love to fish, it’s a serious distraction to me. And while I try to learn as much as possible, I’ve grown to understand that they call it “fishing” rather than “catching” for a reason. I was fishing late one evening about 18 years ago with my oldest daughter, catching small
Paleo Breakfast cereal! (Paleo Crunch)
Paleo is the “contemporary” Paleolithic diet consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils. Breakfast (literally meaning “breaking the fast” of the night) is the first meal taken after rising from a night’s sleep, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day’s […]
Revisting our “Free Food” volunteer tomato patch
I wrote about our patch of tomatoes that overran my pepper plants, and have mentioned them from time to time since then. Yesterday, I went out and picked all of the ripe fruit from both the volunteer tomatoes, as well as those from the black cherry tomato plants I planted. I was shocked to see […]
Lacto-Paleo Ham-Wrapped Fried Cheese sticks
We spent last weekend at a girls’ fastpitch tournament in Sebring, FL, and lived out of our minivan, tent, and cooler. Feeding a family of four out of a cooler makes for limited options. Smelling the fried food in the concession stand, my wife stated she was going to “fall off the (Paleo) wagon”, and […]
