  The healing power of a Root Beer float

  by Gregor in

  chill a big glass or mug in the freezer.

  drop in two scoops of good vanilla ice cream and pour in a well chilled, quality brand of root beer and fill to the top.

  drop in a straw and grab an ice teaspoon and escape for a few minutes into pure sensory pleasure.

  They are even better with home brewed root beer. I substitute 2/3 of the sugar with honey and add 2 Tbls of real vanilla extract. It tastes just like Thomas Kemper.

  but if a state chooses to observe dst, it must follow the starting and ending dates set by the law.

  I also built a cold smoke house which is a great way to preserve meat and fish. I don't refer to it as part of my disaster prep but it would work great for that. As soon as the weather gets cool I start making lox, smoked chedar, ham, bacon and corned beef.

  A small wood stove supplies the smoke and the extended chimney cools it down to below 80 deg (F). When I have it full of brinned king salmon fillets our neighbors over 800 ft away can smell it. And since I torture them with the wonderful aroma I also give them several pounds.

  We had a big quake about four years ago and It screwed up all the water wells in the area. Our water was brown and smelled like rotten eggs. It took five days for it to clear up.

  I hope nobody was injured and the damage in minimal.
