We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Just wanted to offer a suggestion for Mrs. PN's baking and your sugar preps. Did you know brown sugar is quickly made from granulated sugar and molasses?
Molasses keeps indefinitely, boosts iron and makes brown sugar. When you need brown sugar, just add molasses to sugar a little at a time to desired darkness.
Ratio to start...
Approximately 1 tablespoon molasses to 1 cup sugar
(Use white or cane sugar)
Add more molasses for recipes that call for dark brown sugar.
That's it.
Bonus... in the depression era folks would add a spoonful of molasses to a glass of milk. The iron helps when meat is scarce.
***True molasses is better for baking, not blackstrap. Blackstrap is more concentrated and can interfere with consistency and flavor of recipes. Reserve blackstrap for livestock feed, fertilizer, iron supplementation and non baking recipes (unless specifically called for). I believe 1 Tbsp true molasses has about 1 mg iron while blackstrap has approx 5 times this amount.
China is now closing mosques and converting them into barns for raising chickens as a way to fight radicalism. China officially considers Islam a ‘mental illness.’ Do you like this idea?

Two Seattle Police officers arrived and kept him alive until paramedics came. He was rushed into emergency surgery, placed on life support in the Trauma ICU, and then underwent another major operation to reconnect his intestines, which was successful.
Lanske has woken up and is responding in the hospital. His ...
