My father always liked bread on the table too as he felt it was very Biblical to literally break bread every night... <br /><br />And I love your grocery store success stories and the reason you keep supplied.

Truly there is so much we can do to keep our families well fed, and not waste anything. I understand your hesitancy to take the persimmons, as sometimes in harvest season we are just so overwhelmed, thankful they became a blessing! I too like to dehydrate, as it is a wonderful way to keep food without a whole lot of effort. No doubt in the days to come we will be very thankful for our pantries that are brimming with food and provisions. Blessings to you dear friend!

Do the dried persimmons make a chewy snacking fruit? My late Aunt used to bake 100 dozen dinner rolls in a day and fill up her freezer. Every day she would take a dozen from the freezer to go with their main meal because my Uncle asked to always have bread on the table. I am still amazed by her dedication to keeping her pantry supplied that way. She would also make 2 dozen pies in a day to go in the freezer. When we were children we loved to eat at her house because there was such a bounty of delicious food. I know they never had much money but she was dedicated to buying on sale and feeding her family well.<br /><br />We have discount grocery stores that sell short dated food for such low prices that I almost consider it a free gift. Before we go I pray and ask God to show me what I need to buy to keep my pantry supplied. Sometimes my initial reaction is that I cannot use a certain food but then I see what it can be used for and how it can benefit my pantry. Yesterday I used pork that was .89 a pound and a large can of hominy which were 3/$1, some spices and homemade chicken stock to make a pot of Posole to serve to friends for lunch. That entire pot of soup was only about $2. I served it with organic tortilla chips that were 50 cents for a huge bag and sour cream that was 50 cents a pint. These stores are worth seeking out. <br /><br />I enjoy keeping my pantry supplied and being able to feed just the two of us and our big family when they visit plus any friends that come by. It us a real joy to be able to be generous in a time when food is such a concern.<br /><br />Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-52073170490942681002022-02-24T07:04:53.281-06:002022-02-24T07:04:53.281-06:00Jes, you are so wise and actively engaged in your ...Jes, you are so wise and actively engaged in your home, in the keeping and care of it. It's beautiful and encouraging! <br />I love gleaning from you! I try to apply it all to my life and teach my girls alongside. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us💗💝🥰.<br /><br />Oh, and I wanted to mention that growing up in Brazil, my grandparents would eat caqui (persimmon) fresh, but they would refrigerate it first. Then they would cut the top off and eat out of it with a spoon. It was so good!! But it had to be pretty cold, as it tasted best this way. So if you get some fresh ones again you may like to try at least one like this😊<br />Many Blessings🧡!😘Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09563532870460097721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-71478431024661858202022-02-23T17:33:17.457-06:002022-02-23T17:33:17.457-06:00That is so true!!!
