Check out www.atlanticspice.com they have dried peppers and onions, reasonable prices. I just dehydrated 3 bushels of peppers. Filled 3 quart jars. Believe me, buying peppers at retail (or even at a farmers market) to dry yourself isnt cost effective.We haven't been doing much of anything all week. Yard maintenence and normal stuff, except taking our fur baby to the vet for a check up. He was doing fine.
I still haven't received the Keystone meat I ordered from Pleasant Hill Grains. Cary called them, yesterday, and they said it would probably be around the 1st of October, before we got it. They have a lot of back orders to fill. So, Cary checked Keystone Meats website, and they are back in stock, except for ground beef. I'll be making out another order to them next week.
I looked all over online, yesterday, for #10 cans of dried bell peppers. I found a site, but it will break the bank to get those, so I declined. For the time being, I'm going to buy peppers, and chop them for the freezer. I'll save the #10 cans I already have for long term storage. I've been using them, instead of taking up room in the freezers by chopping and freezing my own. Once again, no peppers from our garden this year to speak of. Sigh. Our local farmer's market this year was a total loss. We didn't get to buy any purple hull peas, so I'll have to keep stocking those from the grocery store.
Cary has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday for a check up. Hopefully, his doctor won't give him a hard time about the vax. This is his doctor that writes all of his prescription meds. If he refuses to be Cary's doctor, because he isn't vaxxed, I don't know what we'll do. All of the doctors in our area are all a part of the same medical system/complex/network.

Nope. You'll have to put them into jars or mylar with an O2 absorber if you want them for *long* term storage. But they keep for 3 years easy stored dry and dark.Do these peppers come in #10 cans? I checked some sites and they are only measured by weight, but say nothing about how they're stored. Thanks. I'll check the site.

SB, thrivelife.com has #10 cans freeze dried peppers for $48.
Those are freeze dried! While they probably are wonderful, that can only has 3 ounces! The dried peppers I'm talking about (and I THINK Sherree is thinking of are simply dehydrated. They are under ten bucks a pound at the links I provided. A pound is *at least*na half bushel of fresh peppers.SB, thrivelife.com has #10 cans freeze dried peppers for $48.
I've never had freeze dried anything, but they seem popular in prepper circles. I plan to order from the site you listed. They have teas too!Those are freeze dried!

Freezel dried is the gold standard... a freeze dried strawberry looks like a strawberry, and rehydrates into a reasonable facsimile of a fresh/frozen berry. OTOH, a dehydrated strawberry will be very dark red/black, and it will be shriveled. It will be tasty, but more limited in uses than the0 freeze dried.I've never had freeze dried anything, but they seem popular in prepper circles. I plan to order from the site you listed.

I dehydrated 6 lbs of onions because I bought too much. Those 6 lbs almost filled a pint jar. But they are wonderful! It's hard for me to visualize how much you're getting for dehydrated things. I appreciate your input.
I ordered Augason Farms from Amazon, not my favorite place but they were $12.58 for a 1 lb 4 oz can.Thank You. I can't pay that much for 1 can, though. I ordered mine from Augason Farms last time, and they didn't cost nearly that much. Thing is, Augason Farms doesn't carry them anymore. I did check with ThriveLife.

Got some preventive maintenance done. A trip to the dentist and a tetanus shot. I figured the last time I got one had to be over ten years ago.
Also thinking about getting the Pneumonia vaccine. Anyone have any pros or cons? I've no problem with vaccines provided they've had all the double blind studies done, problems with them have been tracked and documented for six to ten years and otherwise have gone thru the traditional USDA vaccine vetting process.
I agree but I have not been to a doctor for 20 years. Now I do not trust any doctor or hospital.if I was more doc & syringe oriented - the regular tetanus inoculation would be on my med upkeep list >> they aren't effective that many years - good thing to have for SHTF times ...

Wow! Thanks for the heads up. I had a slight reaction to the Tetanus shot. A hard knot that's gradually disappearing along with an itch. I've never had a reaction like that to a tetanus shot.Just my experience, so your mileage may definitely vary! I had the first pneumonia vaccine about 2 yrs ago. No problem whatsoever with that one except a slight headache that night. It was gone in the morning.
I got the 2nd pneumonia vaccine this spring, the pneumonia vax 23 one. Holey cow! My bicep swelled up like a balloon that afternoon, got hard as a rock and bright red, then developed a darker red line curving under the lower edge of the bicep. Started to feel unwell and short of breath, took some Benadryl and went to lay down. I probably should have gone to the ER. The next day my eyelid started to feel weird like it had been scratched or something, a little sore and itchy at the same time. The following day I broke out in shingles....just two days after that pneumonia shot. Honestly, I often wonder if they didn't slip me the covid vax instead.
PC doc saw me right away, got me on steroids, antivirals, and into an opthamologist the same day. Fortunately, my eyesight was fine, but the shingles was pretty bad. Took me months to get my strength back, it really made me tired for a good while.
That was my last vaccination. I'm done.
You're welcome :-) I have no idea what caused that reaction. Perhaps I was particularly susceptible to one of the strains in the vax, or my immune system was running on low, etc. Have no idea!Wow! Thanks for the heads up. I had a slight reaction to the Tetanus shot. A hard knot that's gradually disappearing along with an itch. I've never had a reaction like that to a tetanus shot.
After the reaction that thought also crossed my mind.Honestly, I often wonder if they didn't slip me the covid vax instead.
