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.
📝🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 - On the Brink: Showdown in the Middle East
Amid an escalating American buildup, it’s clear Witkoff’s list of demands is more of a request for surrender. Accepting the abolition of its nuclear program and limitations on its ballistic missile force would leave Iran powerless to defend itself in any future conflict, which is the entire point of asking for these “concessions”. This demarche is a poison pill meant to justify further action when Iran rightly refuses it or, should they be foolish enough to actually accept it, will make the job of Israel and the U.S. easier when they inevitably tear up any agreement to conduct strikes anyway. The goal here for Tel Aviv and Washington isn’t peace and anybody who thinks they actually care about protesters needs to get their head checked; they want a final showdown with Iran to remove it as an obstacle to themselves in the Middle East.
For those that don’t remember, in the lead up to the 12 Day War last year...
