Review: The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers

With a name like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599555107/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=prepper-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=1599555107">The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=1599555107&camp=217145&creative=399373" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />, can you blame me? This was obviously a book stocked for a local audience, so I hope our non-Utah readers can find a copy. Author <a title="Caleb Warnock's blog" href="http://calebwarnock.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Caleb Warnock</a> is a local (Alpine, Utah) writer, year-round gardener, and teacher of "Forgotten Skills" classes. It also helped when I noticed one of the people listed in the special thanks section is a friend of mine, and <a title="Eric James Stone" href="http://www.ericjamesstone.com/" target="_blank">local sci-fi author</a> (how's that for a tight-knit Utah Valley).

Drying Herbs
It's getting to be harvest season, which means plenty of work around my household trying to preserve some of what we've grown. Because of our love for flavorful food, we've tried to expand the variety of Herbs around our household over the last several years. Herbs are an excellent way to expand the flavor of those rice and beans we've all been stuffing into our long term storage. Those wonderful foods that make up such a major part of our plans will become quite monotonous though, if we cant' get some flavor variety in them.
