I believe hard times are coming for all of us, and if we prepare we will survive. We all need to be more self sufficient, and less dependent on government. The Prepper idea is good but most of us don't have the time, resource or skills to do it the proper way. I prepare the best way I can, even a little is better than nothing. Floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, plaques and many other things happen or will happen. Prepare as if you will never see another store or hospital again.

Recipe to try

I got this drink recipe from my soap forum folks and I want to try it as soon as I can get to a store--
Would be a good Christmas present for someone.
( if you try it let me know how it works for you)
Italian Lemoncello
They say to store in the freezer (pure alcohol doesn't freeze) and serve right from the freezer. Be careful...this stuff creeps up on ya and you'll be snockered before you know

you can make any fruit drink with this recipe....


Lemoncello
You need:
12 lemons
1 bottle of Everclear Pure Grain Alcohol
Sun Tea Jar

Wash your lemons, then peel. You are using the peel, so make sure you don't peel so deep you get the white stuff with the peel. Put peels in sun tea jar and pour the bottle of Everclear over them. Put on cap, shake and put in a dark closet for a few weeks. After 2-3 weeks, take a peel out and bend it. If it cracks, it's ready. If not, let is steep another week. When the peel cracks you are ready.

Now you need:
2 pints distilled water
3 cups sugar
Warm your water, add sugar. Bring to boil and boil until sugar is completely dissolved. If it doesn't completely dissolve, your drink will be gritty. After sugar is dissolved, cool water to room temp. Now strain your alcohol Thur coffee filters. Again, if you don't strain until clear, your drink will have "floaties". Add your liquor to the sugar water and shake. I keep this in the freezer.

Note-15 lemons to one fifth.Everclear, 30 lemons to half gallon (or 2 fifths) You can use Vodka if you don’t have everclear, it won’t be so strong (I suggest vodka)
