Emergency Food Bars Website

Contributor: Erin S.

A friend of mine from Woodburn ward called me today. She was ordering a bunch of bars off this website - 3600cal emergency food bars and I ordered a few through her. They have a 5 year shelf life, ready to eat, no cholesterol, no nuts for people with allergies.

Anyways, I think they are a great item for 72 hour kits or to keep in the car in case of emergencies... the website also sells emergency water, flashlights, radios, hygiene kits, bigger items, etc, etc, etc for all types of emergencies.

It's at quakekare.com. It has info and products that people might be interested in taking a look at.

Preparing for Disaster!

Hello all! I'm attaching a link to the Washington County Office of Consolidated Emergency Management (a mouthful!) flyers for preparedness. These flyers are a gem to have! Especially if you would like to motivate your neighborhood to get prepared - there are some great ways to encourage your neighbors or distribute flyers/ideas to them. There is one similar to the other charts that have been posted about preparing month by month, too. Happy browsing!

Dutch Oven Conversion Chart

Here's a LINK to a Conversion Chart for Dutch Oven Cooking so when you adapt recipes that say bake at 350 degrees for 45 min, you will know how long and how many briquettes needed, top or bottom or both as well as the differences to make a Dutch Oven boil, fry, simmer, stew, etc.

Cathy: I have become aware of an opportunity to order a very high quality organic whole wheat pasta from Tuscany, Italy in many shapes in bulk. A LDS woman, Colleen, in Utah will actually place our order since she has a wholesale account with the manufacturer in Italy but the order will be shipped to my home, Cathy, in Tualatin. There is also the option to order gluten-free pasta and agave syrup and canned tomatoes. If we place a large bulk order (approx.400 cases) then the shipping is FREE. I think the requirement is actually by weight but 400 cases usually meets that weight requirement. The prices listed are only guaranteed through March so I would need to receive everyone’s order including money by Monday, March 23, 2009 in order to mail a check to Colleen in Utah. She only places a large bulk order once a year.

It is the best organic whole-grain pasta and organic tomatoes in the world. Typical pricing for this pasta is fairly expensive. We will order sufficient quantities with this purchase to obtain exceptional pricing (see order form). This pasta is made using organic whole grain and the best known artisan practices. It is recognized as one of Italy’s finest whole-grain pastas and is generally sold as an expensive gourmet item. It is made affordable through bulk purchase.

The whole, peeled canned tomatoes come packed in tomato puree with basil, rather than water. Both are excellent food storage items as well as nutritious and delicious.

The agave is XAgave brand, considered to be the finest organic agave nectar on the market today. It retails for more than double the price offered in this bulk order. Agave is a low calorie and low glycemic index sweetener, considered by many to have no rival.
