WELFARE KNOW HOW

Our first night will be on using a dehydrator and the oven for
dehydrating. If you think dehydrating is just for making banana
chips, then come along for a surprise. Make soup mixes, jerky, fruit
leathers, dried fruits, dried vegetables. A whole world of possibilities
and goodies awaits you. Not just for the women folk or the Molly
Mormons among us ... Men folk I would love to see you there
learning and tasting. Youth and Young Adults don’t be shy come
along, you’ll be homemakers one day too!



Date and time to be advised next week.

HFPE Report

For those who were unable to come Wednesday night to the HFPE Welfare night, you missed a great
night. It was a night full of fun, laughter and learning. We had some great lessons and demonstrations and
some seriously nice food storage inspired food and drink.

Sister Bulfin gave us a great lesson on how to calculate what you would need to store for 3 months, based
on the First Presidency’s recent publication encouraging us to at least have a 3 month supply. Sister Bulfin
walked us through the process of list making and calculating the supplies needed. Here is a brief over
view, for further information please consult lds.org/providentliving

1: Make a list of dishes your family likes to eat.

2: How many times per week do you want to eat this dish?

3: Write down the recipe ingredients and amounts

4: Calculate what is needed per week, then for 3 months (12-15 weeks)

5: compile a master list of ingredients and the amounts you need to purchase for you 3 month supply.

6: Calculate non food items (date when open)

Include at least 10 mail meals, 4 breakfasts and 4 lunches.

Sister Webb wowed us all with her fantastic lentil balls and demonstration of easy meals made from food
storage items. It was great to see how many different ways each item could be used making a wide variety of
meals. Sister Curtis shared her recipe for hot chocolate and wheat germ loaf. They were both delicious.
The recipes are:

Hot Chocolate Wheat Germ Loaf
1 ½ cups white sugar 1 cup currents
1 cup dry milk powder 1 cup wheat germ
¾ cup coco powder 1 cup milk (milk powder is fine)
I cup coffee whitener ¾ cup raw sugar
mix together and store in a container mix and let stand for 2 hours
add two heaped spoonfuls to a cup Add 1 ½ cups self raising flour
add boiling water and marsh mallows Bake for about 1 hour at 180 degrees

Sister Oak brought along a delicious chocolate cake made from hand milled flour (thanks to her Dad and
fresh eggs thanks to their chickens) and Sister Jupi made a lovely banana cake. We also tried some of my
favourite kibbled rye and lentil bolognese sauce, canned butter, Amaranth cereal and flaked Quinoa
(pronounced keen-wah), both of which are high in essential amino acids and other minerals making them
great super foods to add to your storage.

I spoke about the main supplies to have on hand that will keep you alive should there be nothing else. Wheat
(and other grain) water, sugar, salt, oils and fats, honey. Adding to that the benefits of sprouting your wheat
to add much needed vitamins to your diet and wheat grass. As well as the above mentioned super foods of
Amaranth and Quinoa. I also discussed including spirulina which is high in antioxidants and other essential
and non essential amino acids, mineral and vitamins. In short a great all round pill or powder to keep to
ensure your body remains healthy.

All in all it was a fantastic night, thanks to all those who came and especially to all those who provided for
us on the night.

Self reliant Tip.

Each week I would like to include
a tip on something self reliant
whether it be a cleaning or storage
tip or anything else to do with
welfare. I need all the input I can
get, so please share with me so I
can share with others.

Microwave cleaning tip

A bowl of warm water and lemon
juice set on high for 1 minute will
loosen any food splatter making it
easier to clean off.
