Bean Taste Test Email

I encourage all those who didn't come this month to the taste test night, to come to the next taste test night! It was really fun to go and taste food made from beans, and we talked not only about beans but all aspects of food storage in a very casual setting.

There are many who ask to know how to do things with their food storage and we are trying hard to make it possible to learn new things and get you prepared, but it's up to you to sacrifice your time to come to food storage events we have put together. We'd love to see more people participate!!

It's great to see the ward progress in their food storage efforts. Keep up the good work!!

We have some great classes coming up in the next 6 months, so I'll keep you updated:)

I am sending out an email with an attachment on the packet of information on beans I have put together and gave out during the taste test night, so if you do not receive that email within a few days, please let me know if you would like me to send the information to you! It has everything you need to know about beans! Recipes to come!!

Food Storage Group for Taste Test Nights

Food Storage Group

This group will explore food storage items. Once a month we will meet and have a “Taste Test” night. We will focus on one product each month, learning how to store it, what to store, how to prepare using various recipes, and any other information relevant to that product.

You can sign up each month to bring a tasting dish using that product we are discussing.

Taste test nights will be at Carrie Wells home at 12511 Brazos Bend Trail, Humble, TX 77346, at 6:30 p.m.

July 30th, We will be focusing on beans and legumes.

September 3rd, Bread Party & Food Seminar! Karen has been so nice and willing to come back and share her talent of making great bread with us. She also has some great helpful tips on getting, keeping and using your food supply! If you didn't make the first one, this is a must!! Very informative! You do not have to make bread if you don't want to. Just come with a notepad and pen and takes notes. If you would like to make a loaf of bread to take home and bake then you will need to bring a bread pan and rolling pin!

If you are planning on making bread, you must pay Carrie Wells, or Crystal Petersen BEFORE September 1st. As before, she makes perishable bread kits the day before so we need to know on the night of the 1st (which is a Tuesday) who exactly is coming. Please ladies, if you sign up and pay, please come. AND please bring your husbands if they are available to come!!

The cost is $2.00 per loaf of bread.

If you have any questions, please contact Carrie Wells at 281-608-9641, cbear1230@gmail.com or Crystal Petersen at crystalcangel@yahoo.com

Just a reminder about Karen's food ordering opportunity

UPDATE****THIS ORDER IS STILL OPEN, SO IF YOU HAVE NOT YET ORDERED YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE!****(Updated on Aug. 6th, 2009)

Once again, Karen Wilkinson, the same gal that came to give up a bread party, is taking orders for a bunch of things for your food supply! She will take orders until she fills up the truck!
Check out her website here http://kneadfulthingsnow.com/currentpreorder.aspx

and here http://kneadfulthingsnow.com/wheatorder.aspx

and here http://kneadfulthingsnow.com/glutenfreeorder.aspx (gluten free order)
to find out what she is going to have available to order.

I have compared and ordered quite a few things myself from each truck she has coming in. If you are interested in getting anything, all the order info and contact info is stated in the above links!

Also, she sends some great information in her newsletters/emails she sends out occasionally. She has some great input on different things and also she has great news info on what is going on with crops, wheat, etc. so if you haven't already signed up, do:) The option to be added to the newsletter is on her home page. You'll see it if you scroll down to the bottom of the page! She has sent me info that I would like to share, but I would rather you choose to recieve the info and not get bombarded with emails from me:)

Let me know if you have any questions:)

Thanks, Crystal
