ANOTHER QUESTION Curious if either of you have a reaction (good, bad, or indifferent) to that song "Rich Men North of Richmond." I just heard it for the first time this morning. From Lettie = What is one topic that has not been done at SRF that you would like to see? Scything Assassination John: Have you always been the  kind of person who goes your own way without really caring what other people think? John: If you could not sew anymore, what would you do? Nicole From andrea How do you store the tromboncino squash? And do I harvest it when it turns yellow? What are ways that you use it in your food? You talked about harvesting chocolate mint on Monday's show. How much of it do you use to make tea? I have some growing and figured that it would make a great Christmas present but I am not sure how to use it in tea. I am just used to buying the already put together tea. Make it a great week! GUYS!

Tales from the Prepper Pantry Taught a canning class this weekend and ended up just 2 quarts shy of our 60 quart goal Added 7.5 quarts of tomato sauce, thanks rick Added 5 pints of salsa from the Holler Tomatoes and peppers Greatly reducing the stored commercial foods (like spaghetti sauce), but still keeping some on hand (why) Green Curry Turkey this week Weekly Shopping Report. 8/7/23 Our first trip on Saturday started with Dollar Tree as usual. The cooler with the Venom I like has been dead long enough that the drinks there are now room temperature. Oh well, I'm not interested in Coke or Pepsi products for caffeine.  Next we went to Hobby Lobby so Sonia could pick up some art supplies. We had not been there in a while, but I didn't notice any significant changes. The parking lot was mostly full as usual, and Sonia found what she wanted. We skipped Home Depot today (I figured I'd check online for the 2x4x8 price), so the next and last stop was Aldi. The pad I was keeping in the car to record prices is still in the car; we've got a rental due to the car dying. I looked at the same things, and don't recall any significant changes. I'll grab another pad for next week. Back home, we realized we forgot the fruit. We also discovered that some ladder supports we had ordered were eunuchs (both missing their nuts), and Sonia also decided she wanted some more of a particular product she bought at Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby isn't open on Sunday, so we took our second trip today. Hobby Lobby was just as busy, and Sonia got what she wanted. The second stop of the weekend at Home Depot also allowed me to check the price of a 2x4x8. It is back up to $3.25 after being just $2.98 last week. That's still lower than it has been; they're probably still adjusting. Aldi had the cherries, bananas, and cantaloupe we had forgotten. A gallon of untainted regular remains at $3.899, but I suspect it is wishful thinking to believe it will stay there. Frugality Tip None submitted this week Operation Independence Seven Series Homestead Starter Pack Product Build Out! Main topic of the Show: One Million Downloads I never even gave a thought to having a million downloads when I first started Living Free in Tennessee, especially with only 14 downloads of my second episode. Yet we passed that number a little while ago.  So the question came up, how do we celebrate? 1,000,000 Downloads Give Away:  Entering is super easy share you favorite episode (You can just use the link at my website for that episode) tag me in it use #LFTN fill out the form below to tell me you did it We started as a creative outlet, became a show, transitioned into a community of doers.
