There is another great thread in our forum going on about the choice between “MRE’s or Rice and Beans” and it has gone well enough I decided to do a show on the topic. I also however, open today’s show with some thoughts on the Senates approval of the “improved bail out bill”. Meaning they loaded it up with pork.

- How we are being forced to buy a 1 trillion dollar ticket to an event we don’t want to see
- More on stock market voodoo
- Is that pork I smell, why does it stink so bad?
- A shell game with the profits, you bet
- Who really is going to get rich on this, it isn’t the “damn CEOs” from the screwed companies
- One quadrillion in derivatives is the real problem
On the main topic today
- MREs are useful but expensive, bulky and get “old” fast
- How to create variety even with boring “rice and beans”
- How rice and beans doesn’t always mean just rice and beans
- How to make boring dry beans into an awesome soup

- How you can “test” survival food before you stock it
- Adding potatoes and pasta to the rice and beans regiment
- Teaching yourself to cook like our grand parents did
- The way to truly store what you eat and eat what you store
- Not everything you store needs to be canned, dried, etc. use your freezer
