Getting Prepared and Having Peace of Mind
March 2010
Food for Thought: Don’t forget the “joy” in your preparedness and the comfort food in your food storage! If you are just getting started or already have a great deal of food stored, perhaps you may want to gather two weeks of preparedness supplies, including food, water, stoves, lanterns, batteries, sanitizing items, and clothing. Situations change, families grow, and we need to be able to adapt to those changes. As our ward members have shared with you, “You can never be too prepared for your family and to help those around you.” Start this week!

Did you know: The need for pure water is greater than almost any other need in the body. Experts tell us 3 days without water and our bodies will degenerate and die. Contaminated water though will kill you in less than 24 hours. We lose water from respiration, perspiration, and elimination. These all can contribute to dehydration and death. We need to know how to store and purity water. (See separate flyer for more information)
Recipe for the Month:
Corn Chips
½ c dehydrated sweet corn* ½ c dehydrated cheese*
1 ½ c boiling water sea salt (pinch or two)*
Simmer corn and water for 25-30 minutes. When water is absorbed, pour corn in blender and puree. Add cheese and puree some more. Spread in thin layer on a buttered cookie sheet. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Bake at 250 degrees until partially dried. Score with a knife, so it will fall into chips when dry. Continue baking until dry, but NOT brown. Lift off pan and cool. They’ll dry more when cool.
