          Homemade hummus on a rice cake, a Yoplait key lime pie whipped yogurt and a glass of iced green tea.

          No...I didn't make the hummus. My friend did. And, if you haven't yet tried the Yoplait whipped yogurts, you're in for a treat!

              Home-canned beef patties with onion gravy, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and sweet carrots.

              I took ordinary hamburger patties and formed them into four small patties each, then lightly fried them and put them into canning jars, added a heaping teaspoon of dried onion soup mix to each jar, then topped the jar with water and sealed it. An hour and a half in the pressure canner at ten pounds pressure, and into the cupboard.

              To prepare the meal, I spooned off the fat from the jar and put it into a frying pan to heat and mealt, adding a spoonful of flour and stirring it to make a roux, then drained the rest of the liquid from the jar into the roux, stirring all the while, until it thickened into a gravy. I added the patties and let them heat through...voila! Next time I might also add dried and powdered mushrooms, or make the sauce with added evaporated milk or red wine.

              Now, about the mashed potatoes....the trick to making fluffy, non-gluey ones is this:

              Peel, cube and boil potatoes until just tender...too little and they won't absorb enough milk, too much and they'll have absorbed too much cooking water....meanwhile, heat milk, butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg (optional) to almost boiling....be careful to watch the milk so that it doesn't begin to boil and escape the pot by boiling over...drain the cooked potatoes and mash or rice or puree them, I use a German noodle machine that squezes them out, or a smashing tool, but a fork will work....then add the almost-boiling milk mixture and fold in gently and spareingly...too much beating (NEVER use a mixter!), and you end up with a gluey mess....the trick is in the hot milk, use just enough and not too much.

                Cyn assembled a tasty, recession-proof medley of canned sardines, chopped tomatoes, sliced shallots & jalapeños, parsley, salt, vinegar (cider & red wine), fresh-ground pepper and brown rice with hard-boiled eggs on the side.

                                An omlette made by frying potatoes and onions in the delicious oil from my home canned chorizos, them mixing eggs with dehydrated and ground green pepper and garlic and pouring that over the spuds, covering, inverting, cooking the undesideand serving. With baked beans and homemade bread, milk to drink and to wash down the codliver oil capsule with.
