(An Audit on How Food Self Sufficient I am)
How would my kitchen look like when it’s crunch time? Supplies are getting more difficult to access, the cost of food has sky-rocketed and transport to the local shop by donkey is a once a week journey.
What can I throw into the pot to fill our bellies for the day?
Sweet Potato Fry up- things to do before I cut up ingredients
*Dig some sweet potato from the garden
*Collect the eggs from the chooks
*Dip into bulk bag of onions
*Bottle the home made soy sauce
*Light the wood stove
Take a couple of sweet potatoes
2 eggs
miso (home made)
soy sauce (also home made)
onion (Bought in shop at exorbitant price)
Peel and cut up the onion. Heat a frying pan with fat from goat that made cow put foot in milking bucket and later on that day got the chop.
Peel and slice sweet potato and fry in the goat fat in frying pan with some miso and a bit of chopped chili from the garden.
When the sweet potato has nearly cooked, break open two eggs and allow to set at low heat covered with a lid.
Enjoy!
The message in this little story is to take a good look at where we are in the level of self reliance if things happen to crash overnight.
Will you have enough to eat from your garden?
