Constantly having to worry about the next thing that will fail : uncertain food supplies, looming bank crashes, restricted travel, untrust worthy corrupt governments, corrupted medical community and hospitals , aims from the government to steal everything you own (property taxes, hoa fees, immiment domain , civil forfeiture , higher more restricting property insurance and on on and on ) , just to name a few. I just want some rest from it all
I understand that on such a deep level you'll just never know...
I want to cry just trying to keep decent meals on the table. Forget gas prices..
I spent 3.32 cents for a small package of fatback and 1.79 for 1 pound of hog jowl bacon - and that was the cheapest they had - you wanted seasoning meat? Your paying fancy hamburger prices - for scrap pork meat that's heavy on fat .
How is anyone supposed to afford even soup now! Pretend like we're in the Great Depression?
We used to be able to throw in a fancy soup a time or two a week to save money at the grocery store. Now there's nothing we can save much money with, all meals are pretty high.
And your right, we are attacked on all sides right now and finding something you can trust and count on is so necessary... And such a peace in a hostile world.
My love friend...
It's Baking Season!
