She saw my dark side.....

Rocket stoves and video was involved....

My nomadic "the world is in the brink of disaster" dealio involves rocket stoves.... they're simple cheap, effecient.. they burn twigs and stuff, grass, paper..leaves...charcoal

Which facinates me... cause Im a camp fire guy.. fire ring, 3 rocks to hold a pot, griddle, grill or what ever...

Cept some places don't have wood.... at least not campfire fodder... but nearly everywhere has twigs.. So Im interested..

There is a demo on you tube.... "how to feed your family on flour, water, oil, salt and twigs"....or something like that.... I got that the twigs were to cook the bread... not eaten.... and since it was a rocket stove video... I figured it wasnt a boy scout wrap dough around a stick vid....

I know what flour, water, olive oil and salt bread is.... I know what a rocket stove is... and everything related to what he was doing...... I just wanted to see how he did it...

OMG... I kept hopeing hed catch fire it was soo bad.... the second I saw the bag of cheap ass wall mart, white flour and funky canola/rape seed oil.... I knew this guy didnt like what he was doing.. it started bad and got to worse fast....

Granted my breads arent perfectly round but at least they look like I was paying attention..... and they look nice.. I add a little cumin.. some red pepper flakes an olive oil or garum.. even a tapenade when its done.. and its good stuff..

Then theres hummis... whole wheat flour and chick peas last a long time as do anchovies... so I keep all that stuff on hand... same with cumin and red pepper flakes.. but thats my idea of how its done..

This guy was talking about feeding his family on the "bread" he made.... talking stupid shit about jelly... and peanut butter... which isnt made from peanuts its hydrogenated oils that has peanut flavor in ....  looking at that $4 a ton white flour he was using.. you know the cheap bastard wasn't going for the good stuff...... and besides... where was he planning on buying it?

His senario was no power..armageddon, bare survival mode... yeah, good luck with that... best get a jack rabbit for dinner... or some pigeons..

It was demeaning to bread..... if he tries to feed his family that, I bet he gets shanked... and I noticed, he didn't eat the "bread" he took a sissy bite an that was that... it was kinda fugly.. but well made bread "hot off the rock" is good stuff which gets wolfed down not nibbled..

Bastards.... I relly need to have a "what cha gonna do now" cooking school.... replete with solar ovens, retained heat, pressure cookers and Rocket stoves... and teach how to catch a rabbit/pigeon or the neighbors dog...

A 50# bag of beans lasts a long time... and you can have pintos, pinks, northerns, lentils, and on and on.. black beans, navys,  black eyed peas.. chick peas add a bag of white and another of brown rice or 12.. whole wheat flour.. or better still the wheat its self and a hand mill....

I know where this guy lives..... its on the coast and lush... he can scrape whelks, muscles and barnacles off the piers and rocks... get a seal... gull eggs.. seaweed.. crabs.. mushrooms, all kinds of stuff and he goes on about preparedness and feeding his family?

Hahahaa... better work at it.... cause there won't be a wallmart around...

I kept sending her the link so she had to watch it..... it was all sad....

The stove was cool though..... he had it on his truck tailgate just like I cook... kinda made the same bread dough... I just use good ingredients....and tend to be sort of horrible about knowing what I can eat in the neighbors yard...

Man cannot live by bread alone...... Hahahahaha.. he needs a quail, a rabbit, mb a pigeon or dove... some mesquite beans and nopalitos... a lizzard or big ass rattlesnake...

Give us this day our daily bread.... is just lazy and ungreatful...
