"Upside, is that I've perfected the grilled rib eye."
Actually, I see some of this as a return to "normal." Grilling meat is not a bad skill to have, along with baking bread, growing your own food in the garden, knowing how to sew on a button, pack your own shotgun loads, make a batch of jelly, etc.
The Socialists are going to create a total underclass of people like us...and we are going to live a sweet, sweet life off the grid while denying them their blood-lust; tax dollars. No tax on the food we grow ourselves to feed our families. No tax on keeping a goat or a milk cow (but they might want to tag them; we can resist.) No tax on me keeping laying hens for eggs. No tax on cigs we roll ourselves. (I don't smoke, but totally understand the concept.) Modest "taxes" on a hunting license, but there's plenty of roadkill out there. ;)
Think I'm nuts? Well, just think about it for a little while...
I totally agree with John Edwards. There ARE 'Two Americas.' And Thank God I'm on the underside, LOL! My worst nightmare would be waking up as one of the clueless DOLTS who need a man-servant to dress them in the morning. ;)
I like being a member of that underclass.
BTW, the kids are gone tonight.
wink, wink...
On bread, ever do a sourdough starter? Easy to find a recipe with Google. It is a fool proof way to make lovely bread that has some taste. Even I can do it. My wife assures me that makes me a fool. She may be on to something.
Also, if you plan to go underground, get a good stock of curing salt and regular salt. We must preserve our PORK FAT!
Yeah and ban hunting of Bambie, of which where I get my meat for the year. You wait its going to happen we hunters will only be able to use sling shots, and they will be registered.
