Take Advantage of Chicken On Sale Now

 Hello Friends! How are y'all coming on the goal to make a loaf of homemade bread? (See the newsletter, last post).

We just wanted to mention that chicken is on sale at some of the grocery stores. It is likely to go way up in price due to shortages (because of shortages of feed ingredients, it may be that farmers are selling off what they have a low prices, but that it will result in predicted shortages later on). It may be a good idea to buy some and put it in your freezer. If you have a steam canner, you might be glad if you bottle a bunch of it. Just thought you'd like to know.

By the way, everyone. A member of our district (who shall be here left name- and location-less in case severe shortages occur and everyone wants to raid their storeroom...and if you recognize their kitchen they request that you KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! 😉) sent us the following (along with the pics): "We were able to get 115 lbs @ 1.99/lb. This chicken is SUPER for sandwiches, salads, soups, tacos, gravy…You can use the meat for these items and save the “juice” for broth…wonderful! We pressure 7 bottles at 10 lbs for 90 minutes." The other day we did some using the 15 lb weight. Either one will work. Give us a call if you have a pressure canner and you're not sure how to use it (we'll at least refer you to YouTube 😉).
