Though I do know how to sew, I very seldom do any. I do some leather work though and I recently bought extra of the heavy waxed thread I use for that along with many more leather working rivets. I am trying to think of everything but obviously many things will be missed. We are only human.
Never thought of that. Good idea (but I have a ton of heavy thread now )Dh uses dental floss instead of thread. I don't know if that would work for you or not.
I believe they also have a version with cheese of the dirty rice but I’ve also added cheese to the regular version to tone the spice down for me. We love the black bean, red bean and the white bean and rice mixes although the white bean is harder for us to find. We add smoked sausage to those mixes as well as the jambalaya which hubby likes better than I do.I had to stop by Walgreen today for a prescription. Picked up 6 bottles of Dawn dish soap. Now 7 oz a bottle. I remember when the little bottles were 12 oz. At least they were only 79 cents each. I have a bunch, was just adding more.
Broke up another box of sticks collected on my morning walks. Filled another kitty litter bucket 2/3's of the way. Refilled the box with sticks that had been building up outside. They need some time to dry out completely before being added to the collection. Also ended up with several good size pieces that are perfect for kindling for the fireplace. Have a little over half a rubbermaid container full of those now. We haven't really used the fireplace in a long time. Florida just doesn't get that cold. I love a nice, crackling fire (and so do the cats), but my work schedule the last few years, as well as very mild winters, has kept us from using it much.
I also tried Zataran's dirty rice (with the added hamburger) for the first time. How did I make it to 57 without ever having tasted this yummy stuff before? Too spicy for my wimpy better half, but I loved it. Will add more to the stockpile. Will try their red beans and rice version next, adding the sliced sausage. Love red beans and rice, so looking forward to an easy way to make it.
I need to gather sticks for my rocket stove, especially since we have all these downed limbs from the storms, thanks for the reminder. Here in north central Louisiana it does get cold enough for us to use our wood stove. DH already had way way more wood than we would use in a year, and now he is probably going to have to build something to hold all the newer wood from the storm.I had to stop by Walgreen today for a prescription.

Getting ready to sell some ammo to finance a couple of projects I want to get done before Nov. The shack chimney, larger shelter for the rabbits and if I have any money left start my big rainwater system. Wont get the rainwater system done but if I can at least get the gutters and a couple of the totes its a start.
This is why we built our own shelves. I was too worried about a leg giving out and the whole thing falling over.We bought all of our metal shelving units for my pantry room new, and DH still installed support for the shelves. Better to be safe than sorry.
You are...... lolI found 3 Presto canners at Walmart today. I bought 2 of them. I hope that doesnt make me a bad person....I already have a new in the box Mirro canner, but....you never know.
Lol! I thought someone I know might need another one, but no one does. I'm taking one back tomorrow so I can be a nice person again!! : )You are...... lol
2 is 1, so you really only got one in the end.... so keep it.Lol! I thought someone I know might need another one, but no one does. I'm taking one back tomorrow so I can be a nice person again!! : )
Their Gumbo mix makes a good base to build on. I have to add my own hot sauces, chopped jalapenos to get it hot enough for me, but it beats starting from scratch when I'm craving Gumbo in the winter time. I always add three meats- Shrimp, chopped chicken breast and real andouille sausage.Oh, I use Zatarain's all the time. We love the dirty rice with ground beef and the red beans and rice with Polish sausage. I like to use those little smokies in it, too. I also have the recipes for both, but the box type is quick and easy if you want a quick and easy meal. I have several boxes in storage.

Smart man.Cary won't eat anything that has okra in it!
Be careful with walmart.com. my daughter and I both had our accounts hacked. They weren't too concerned. My bank credited my money back. Walmart said I would have to contact police and address it myself.Smart man.
Got an order from Walmart today. Just a few things we needed. Part of it was two 10# bags of sugar. One bag was ripped open and spilled out a couple pounds and I put the remainder in our sugar canister. Did a three minute chat online with Walmart and they immediately credited me for the one bag of sugar. I think they did okay. Sometimes damage happens during shipments.
Honestly, you can't really taste or get any mouth feel from the okra. All the veggies in it are freeze dried and very small. My wife hates okra and loves my home made Gumbo, but it takes about 4 hours to make it right. I can use the Zat's and have it ready in 35 minutes.We've eaten almost every kind Zatarain's makes, except for Gumbo. Cary won't eat anything that has okra in it! I love it, though.
Obviously that could happen anyplace that you do business, even at your own bank. Walmart only has my credit card so any fraudulent charges are easily removed. I have had to change my credit card number three times in the last 6 or 7 years due to hacking. Once was for that hack at Home Depot several years back. Its a hassle but not a big deal.Be careful with walmart.com. my daughter and I both had our accounts hacked. They weren't too concerned. My bank credited my money back.

We also had the same thing happen. Of all things the hackers were buying Netflix accounts with it. When I contacted Walmart they blew me off. The Credit Card company cancelled the card and I have no clue if they followed up on it or not.Be careful with walmart.com. my daughter and I both had our accounts hacked. They weren't too concerned.

We also use just about all of the Zatarain's stuff (boxed, spices, etc.) and love it.
At $21.00 a case for quarts (plus freight) they sure are proud of them aren't they?Ginnie6, Uline.com has some. I think the price is high. You can check them out here.
