"This is an admonition. Some people argue over whether it is a commandment. I do
not need to argue. As far as I am concerned, whether it is a commandment or counsel,
that which the Lord counsels becomes a commandment to Gordon B. Hinckley. I hope it
does to you." ~ Gordon B. Hinckley, (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley p. 703)

GIVING IS LIVING" Go give to the needy sweet charity's bread, For giving
is living" the angel said." And must I be giving again and again," My peevish,
petulant answer ran." Oh, no," said the angel, piercing me through," Just give till
the Master stops giving to you."

Water Storage Suggestions
Gallon jugs of water purchased (on sale) can be put at the back of cupboards in
the kitchen - where it is hard to reach. They should be good for at least 5 years.
The large 55-gallon barrels in the back yard. If chlorinated city water is put
into clean barrels - it should also be good for a long time - a fun idea is every
summer or two - let the kids have a "water party" - empty the barrels and then refill
with fresh water.
5 to 15 gallon barrels, with a wood round on top, and then a round cloth
covering can be used as end tables.
Each car trunk can contain a box of drinking water bottles - watch for the case
lot sale - occasionally a bottle or two will spring a leak - so check the box when
you clean the trunk.
Boil water and seal in canning jars, then put the boxes on the bottom of closet
floors.
Water is so basic a need that it should be stored in several places - so if an
earthquake collapses the garage - you still have water in car trunks, outside, etc. -

Fill liquid laundry soap bottles with water after they are empty. There is
generally enough soap left in the bottles to make soapy water to use for cleaning.

Oh! Those Green Tomatoes
It is the time of year when a frost is ready to take all the green tomatoes left on
the vine. Here are a few recipes to use those green tomatoes.
Sweet Pickled Tomatoes - 1 gallon green tomatoes, sliced. 1/4-inch of salt, measured
in the bottom of your large glass container, and removed. Place sliced tomatoes in
the large glass container; pour enough water over them to cover; sprinkle the
pre-measured salt over the top of the water and tomatoes. Let stand 24 hours. –
Drain. Place tomatoes into a large kettle; add 2 cups honey and enough vinegar to
cover. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and pour, hot, into sterilized jars. Leave a
half-inch of head space and seal. – Process in boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat; cool away from drafts.
Piccalilli – 16 medium size green tomatoes, chopped (about 1 quart); 2 to 3 medium
sweet red peppers, chopped (1 cup); 2 to 3 medium sweet green peppers, chopped (1
cup); 2 to 3 large onions, chopped (1 1/2 cups); about 2 pounds cabbage, chopped (5
cups); 1/3 cup salt; 3 cups vinegar; 1 cup honey; 2 tablespoons whole mixed pickling
spice. - Combine the chopped vegetables and mix with salt; let stand overnight. –
Drain and press in a cheesecloth bag to remove all liquid possible. - Combine the
vinegar with the spices tied in a spice bag. Bring the mixture to a boil; add honey;
add vegetables and return to a boil. Simmer about 30 minutes, or until there is just
enough liquid to moisten the vegetables; remove the spice bag. Pack hot relish into
hot, sterilized pint jars; leaving a half-inch head space. Seal. – Process in boiling
water bath for 5 minutes, beginning to start timing as soon as the water returns to a
boil. Remove jars; space jars apart from each other and let cool.
Green Tomato Pickles – 3 pounds green tomatoes, sliced; 2 cups sugar; 2 cups water;
1/2 cup vinegar; 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. – Cover sliced tomatoes with cold
water and add salt in the proportion of 1 cups salt to 4 quarts water. Let stand
overnight. Drain thoroughly in a colander. Place tomatoes in an kettle; add sugar,
vinegar and cinnamon. Bring very slowly to the boiling point, remove from the fire

tomatoes into sterilized jars; seal; - Store in a cool place and let stand at least

Did You Think to Store?
Author unknown
Sing to the tune of ‘Did You Think to Pray?
’Ere you spent your family's paycheck,
Did you think to save,
Just a little for the storage,
Just a little for some porridge
When the times are grave.
Oh how storage helps the faithful
When the Prophet’s words we heed.
So, if you would not be tearful,
Plan what you will need.
When your neighbor tried to teach you
How to can and sew,
Did you feel intimidated
And your plans procrastinated,
Now you’re feeling low.
Oh, how empty are the cupboards,
Oh, how ragged are your clothes.
How you’ll wish that you had listened,
When the good life goes.
Wheat and beans and salt and honey
May not sound so hot,
But if you are going hungry,
If your tummy’s cold and grumbly,
They can hit the spot.
Store some diapers for the kiddies,
Everything to see you through,
Cloth and patterns, thread and needles
-Store some long johns too.
If this topic’s repetitious
And you’re dull and bored,
When you’ve not but empty dishes
And you’ve used up all your wishes,
You’ll wish you had stored
Food that’s tasty and nutritious,
Clothes and bedding, tools, and seed,
Skills that guard your family’s future,
Gather what you’ll need.

Skunk bath for pets: 1 quart of 3 percent, hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda;
and 1 teaspoon of liquid soap (this breaks up the oils in skunk spray and allows the
other ingredients in the solution to do their stuff). The solution should be rinsed
off the pet with tap water.

impossible."- -George C. Lorimer

Anything can be." -Shel Silverstein
