I also did pickled carrots, bruschetta (my tomato plants have gone crazy), and pickled peppers. Some stuff is from the local outdoors farmers market.

Before this virus I probably wouldn’t have been home long enough to do all this in 1 day.

@SnapdragonQ did you do the fritters?

I started a big batch of zucchini goodness, but storms rolled through before I could get the air fryer going for the fritters. I did get a triple batch of zucchini molasses muffins and some Dutch Babies with zucchini made.
There is plenty of shredded and diced zucchini in the fridge now waiting to go into the fritters, stir fries, omelettes, pancakes, and whatever else I can manage to sneak it into.

Have you made any fritters since the first yummy looking batch? Your pickles look delicious!

Due to the impending affects of COVID19 on the economy;

My suggestion is to buy an extra few items every week and once in a while make bulk purchases. Toilet Paper, Paper Towells, Canned Food, most Non-Perishables, Ammo, Medicine and First Aid items, Cleaning Products. We "Can" much of the food that we produce and our goal is to have at least a year's worth of consummable items. Ammo being the exception! Wink Wink!

We've lived a lifestyle aimed at self sufficiency for a number of years and having a fully producing garden and acreage has been a huge relief. BEING totally self-sufficient is a lofty goal that we may never achieve but its the journey that matters.

Good luck to all and I will be glad to offer any advice to those wishing to be better prepared.

They hold together fairly well with breadcrumbs or cornmeal if you have any. Come out a little more like flat hush puppies.

Yes ma'am! Got a few 40lb bags plus a number of 1 gallon bags with O2 Absorbers. I store plenty of salt, don't use that much regularly, but in a bad situation salt is pretty important. Plus I can cure meat with it!

Excellent suggestion!
