Food storage with David and Judith

i had the pleasure of videoing the process of putting food into storage in mylar. this is a fantastic method of storage for seeds, grains, nuts and who knows??? it's great for long term storage!

really useful tips about how to do the process, what supplies (including foods)are needed and where to get stuff. thanks for the invite.

raw apple cake in production

i produced 6 apple cakes and put them up in individual servings (zips)...over 40 servings. great for a meal on the go, snacks and very nutritious. the recipe is here. this time i used i cup of old fashioned whole grain oats for one of the cups of flour called for in original recipe. also seemed the metal pan took 5-7 minutes longer to cook. there was enough ambient heat from the oven at 325 degrees for 3 hours to not need a fire today. it was 53 degrees out today so that's not such a big deal. i would say the second day i had production down to a fairly leisurely 4-5 hours from start till 3 cakes in the freezer and mostly all cleaned up.
