Old Skills

I have been thinking and praying about the current rise in food prices. One of the things that came to mind, was to renew “old skills”. For example, I used to make yogurt. It was non fat, organic, and tasted great. When my life got busier, it was easier to buy yogurt. So the Yogurt maker got put away. I used to make salad dressing. When my life got busier, it was easier to buy salad dressings. I used to sprout seeds like broccoli, alfalfa, and lentils. They would go on top of salads and in sandwiches.

When my life got busier, it was easier to buy sprouts to top the salads. I used to make mayonnaise. when my life got busier, it was easier to buy a jar of mayonnaise. Does this sound familiar? With the price of food going up every day, I need to renew my “old skills”. We grow a lot of what we eat. I bake our bread and cook from “scratch”. However, there are “”old skills” that I haven’t used in a long time. This has changed today! I am soaking seeds for sprouting. The yogurt maker is off the shelf, and I will have salad for lunch coated with my own dressing. I will save significant amounts of money on our grocery trips by renewing some “old skills”.

Bob will be happy about that.
