Still actually living the life. 3rd month on stored rations and forage. It does look like the personal financial disaster will be over early next month, though, Praise God.

And the large outdoor woodburning adobe oven is coming along nicely. I have spent exactly $0 on it so far. All materials are off the property, plus my labor.

I can't wait for the first loaves of bread out of it.

I did such an inventory test this past week and couldn't believe it. I still had 56 food items I need to get and 10 nonfood items. Rats.

I did purchase a portable oven that uses the 1 lb. propane bottles but can be hooked to a large one. I can bake bread or anything with that. I guess compare that to your adobe oven. I spent $120 and you spent nothing.

I can't compare myself with you as you are the master.

If we would all learn how to make really good bread; that would go a long way on our food list. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify. - I’m sort of tired of those we get at the supermarket, even the whole grain ones. - My homemade yeast bread has always turned out like a brick; but I make cornbread, whole grain pancakes and sometimes biskits.

I’m going to build one of those next spring. It’ll make some awesome pizzas.
