Ozzy Osbourne moving back to England, doesn’t want to ‘die in crazy America

Waaaaaa. I guess Ozzy wants to leave. Who cares. I say, Buh Bye. So, as a way of sending him off in style:

In other words - I got nothing. Lol! Take care out there.

Eating Their Own

 

Bi's will probably be next. LOL

Evil is Dumb

I guess our enemies can't figure out why we aren't buying their bullshit:

Rockefeller Foundation Wants Behavioral Scientists To Come Up With More Convincing COVID Vaxx Narratives

LOL! Go ahead and try, at this point it really doesn't matter what you call it. We don't trust anything you say. Tomato, Tomahhhto it's all lies to us. My favorite is still the ninja variant – I would have like to see that one pushed ad nauseam. The memes just write themselves.

We are winning. God bless – Take care out there

 

Listening to the Rain

Sometimes, it is nice to turn off the TV, turn off the computer, wrap up in a cozy blanket, and listen to the rain. Time well spent. Take care out there.

Boots on the Ground - Aug 25 - SouthernPrepper1

 

Called It!

 

Hahahahaha. Yep. I totally called it:

IRS inability to hire, retain workers could upend Biden’s revenue plans

 

Most of the article is behind a paywall, but you get the idea from the first couple paragraphs.

 

In a word - DUH! 

 

That makes my day. Take care out there!

Just What I Wanted to Say!

 

Tomatoes? Make it Stop!

 

Even as the CDC is trying to walk back all proof that they are responsible and willingly pushed the vaccine program, they are still coming up with ridiculously named variants.

So now they are saying there is a tomato flu going around. They justify the name by saying that little kids are getting sores that look like tomatoes. Uh-huh. Looks suspiciously like chickenpox to me. I guess we would need to settle the age-old question – is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable – before we can predict what the next bs variant will be after this.

And while we are on the subject – I was happy to hear that douche bag Fauci has given his resignation. Then I thought about it and got angry. Why does he get to escape so easily? Is he really going to get away with his egregious crimes against humanity? The guy needs to be arrested, tried and executed for the deaths, sterilization, and maiming of millions of people! Instead he is just going to quit, go home, lie on his bed and roll around on the huge piles of money he made from his investments in pharmaceutical companies.

Then there is scarf lady Brix who admits in her recent book – that yeah, they knew it was dangerous and would probably kill people but they did it anyway – as she giggles all the way to the bank. Will she get away with it too?

Where are the enforcers? Where are the people that arrest obvious genocidal murderers these days? Are there no honest law enforcement anywhere?

Oh that is right – they are going around busting little girls for their lemonade stands and arresting 4 YEAR OLDS for not wearing masks. The world coup is complete. Evil is Good and Good is Evil. It boggles the mind.

More Fun Facts about the IRS

Here is a nice picture of the front of the IRS building in Maryland. The Vigilant Citizen actually wrote a story about them 10 years ago!

Sinister Sites: IRS Headquarters, Maryland

Interesting from the comment section – the hand symbols on the pillars are actually the American Sign Language sign for “You Owe”

You can see a video of the sign here: Signs for OWE

 This picture of the pyramid that is between the two pillars show WE at the top with a clear line and The People at the bottom. That is why the rich people never really pay taxes. It's not for them only us.

Technically, The Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air, loans it to our government at interest. The people are the collateral on the debt, whether we want to be or not. The IRS are the debt collectors. The whole thing is one big extortion racket.

Here is a couple links from the Corbett Report:

As#TaxationIsTheft Trends, Bloomberg Rebrands the IRS

https://www.corbettreport.com/tag/federal-reserve/

Of course You-Tube and Google are actively scrubbing the information from the internet:

YouTube Blacklists Federal Reserve Information. It's Up To YOU To Spread It!

Added Bonus from Moonbattery:

Democrats Launder Our Money Through IRS Salaries

That's all for now. 

Take care out there!

 

Enough of That

 

Ran errands today and got groceries, etc. Not seeing much in the news that I care to comment on and/or mock.

BCE needs a little help for his grand-daughter. You can find the link HERE. 

I took another 3 day weekend. Will do food prep for the coming week tomorrow and whatever chores I can get done on Monday and take advantage of it finally cooling off a little. Unless something exciting happens - probably won't post a blog. Keep prepping - especially water!

Take care out there.

How to Fake a Nuclear War

Soften up the public with commercials on what to do in the event of a nuclear bomb. Have all news media link to the commercials and have pundits and commentators asking, “why are they putting this out now?” The more ridiculous the commercials, the better, because the public is stupid.

Have major heads of state talk about the possibility that a nuclear exchange is on the table – Russia, China, Ukraine, America. Broadcast this everywhere.

Shut down the internet and electrical grid for 24 hours. Use the Emergency Broadcast System to send Red Alerts to every cell phone stating that nuclear weapons have been deployed. Make it a really scary message to instill as much panic as possible.

Use directed energy weapons on pre-selected targets especially if they are already half-destroyed by previous unchecked rioting and looting. Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, Moscow, Shanghai, Kiev or Kyve or however we are spelling it these days. Add a couple more in fly-over country just for fun. Dallas maybe?

Turn on the internet and electrical grid. Have 24/7 media coverage of mushroom clouds and non-stop news on fall-out, death-tolls and various destruction to landmarks. Use aerosol spraying over the areas so that any people who go out in those areas will get chemical burns and “radiation poisoning”

Have FEMA camps staffed and ready to go. Invite the public to come get free food and vaccine protections against fall-out and long term side effects of nuclear dust and protection against the coming nuclear winter.

Introduce a global governance board and new digital currency so that this NEVER happens again.

Easy Peasy.

 

Could They Be Bluffing? - Part Two

So this is an interesting twist. I guess the Liberty Loft has the story here:

'This is not doctored': See IRS recruit 'Police Academy'-style armed agents

Now I had actually never heard of the Liberty Loft before this story, so I don't know what kind of website it is. Apparently, it was the Republican Congressmen from Kentucky, Thomas Massie who tweeted a couple of videos about the “real” IRS training program going on. I had never heard of him either. Not sure if he is “our” guy or not.

I have posted the original video of the training at the end of this blog, because it's really funny if this is real. Then they are bluffing. I feel sorry for those kids the day they go to Mr. Militia's house with his hidden arsenal and try to arrest him for tax evasion. That would be quite the wake up call.

But, there are some strange things going on with this story. The original video was posted to You Tube on April 1^st of this year. April Fool's Day. Long before they passed this bill, but they do script these things out months in advance.

Rep Massie's Twitter account says he is the co-Chair of the 2A caucus, but then says he is the greenest member of congress. Is that green as in newest member, or green as in Green New Deal?

I'm not sure what to think about this. Is it a Sun Tzu – Art of War – appear weak when you are strong kind of thing? Because, we are at war, which they declared when they passed this recent bill. Then again, how many of us are actually looking at things this closely?

Leaves me with more questions than answers, or maybe I am just over thinking things? It's just hard to know these days. Take care out there.

 

 

The Eye of the Storm - Appalacia Homestead

 

Where is a Tree-Hugger When You Need One?

This is a map of forestland in Scotland.

Of all the news stories I read yesterday, and I read a lot, this was the one that bothered me the most:

Scotland cut down 14 million trees to make way for wind turbines

I don't know why it bugged me so much. Maybe, the obvious stupidity of such an idea, I don't know. I looked a little deeper into the subject.

50 years ago, Scotland had several reforestation programs, even to the point of giving tax incentives to the public to try to get them to plant trees on their properties. If you are interested in looking at the history of reforestation efforts in Scotland – here is a link that is really interesting. Scroll down for the more modern history.

A history of Scotland's forests

Come to find out – the cutting down of trees and the putting up wind turbines is all part of combating the “climate emergency” that our enemies are constantly pushing and the agenda to destroy everything in the name of Net Zero carbon emissions. (Which actually boils down to our ability to breath – being carbon based life forms.)

Net Zero is bad mmmmkay.

The language always sounds so good, but ultimately it's not to our benefit. It starts with 14 million, but little by little, they will destroy the rest. They do state in this video that they are planting trees, and maybe they are. Watch closely - there is literally a scene where you can see a bunch of dead trees in the background. Tragic. This story is about Scotland, but it is happening all over the world. Watch Scotland for upcoming out of control wild fires. 

 

 

Loser Endorses Loser

 

Well, no news is good news as far as I'm concerned.

I guess Al Franken endorsed Liz Cheney, which I actually thought was hilarious. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I remember watching him on Saturday Night Live when I was a teenager. He wasn't really that funny then, but he is way more of a joke these days.

I actually lived in Casper, Wyoming for a couple years. I like to check in on them from time to time. I was friends with a woman there who came from an extremely wealthy family that had lived in Casper for 4 generations. She was lamenting something along the lines of if this happens (something I can't even remember) in Casper, what will people in the rest of the country think? She was highly insulted when I told her that speaking from experience, the rest of the country doesn't think about what happens in Casper, Wyoming at all. Needless to say, we are not really friends anymore. Oops.

Take care out there.

Wildfires as a Weapon

 

Ask the Blind Man

 

“One fine day, in the middle of the night,

Two dead boys got up to fight.

Back to back, they faced each other.

Drew their swords and shot each other.

If you doubt my story is true,

Ask the blind man, he saw it too”

I don't know why this little saying from grade school came to mind while I was trying to sleep last night. I don't know where it originated or who said it first. It doesn't really matter anyway. For some reason I've never forgotten it.

I think it reminds me of reading the news lately. It makes no difference if it is mainstream (4am talking points, lies and more lies), or the alternative news.

Alex Jones will give you the truth (Sandy Hook anyone?) just to snatch it away again and publicly deny it. The recent trial was a farce and to show the people – See this can happen to you too. Alex sold us out.

The “truth” tellers on you-tube and rumble and bitchute will give you the truth and then talk about the upcoming “ascension” and other new-age crap. None of it can be trusted. They are all leading us in the same direction – we just didn't realize it.

In the book, “1984” by George Orwell, when the main character Winston Smith started to wake up, the Leader of the Inner Party, gave him a book that explains the Inner Party. But (spoiler alert) Winston found a hidden book within that book that explains the oligarchs plans in details. Having knowledge of the plans did not change the outcomes for Winston.

He lost in the end, because Winston was a coward.

So here we are. The oligarchs have told us their plans to starve us and are destroying the food supplies. They have told us that we will freeze this winter and are blowing up oil refineries. They have threatened to raise our taxes and take our property ad nauseam. Why are they doing these things? Because they are deathly afraid of us.

Their whole Covid plan failed and is failing. They grossly underestimated how many of us were willing to stand against them, our jobs, our family and our friends and say no. Because they are greedy, groveling, sniveling cowards, they don't understand men and women with integrity, courage and strength of character. They are destroying the very system that allowed them to get away with their crimes and put them in their ivory towers.

God has opened our eyes to see them for what and who they are. But the system that results will not be theirs. It will be ours. We have already won, we just don't know it yet.

“The Matrix can not tell you who you are.”

Ask the blind man, he sees it.

DNR'S – Straight from the Devil's Handbook

A DNR is a Do Not Resuscitate order. They started being pushed by the medical profession around the same time that assisted suicide became legalized. I understand the reasons that they are appealing, I really do. It still doesn't change the fact that the entire concept comes right from the Devil himself.

Not to get too personal, but I know people, right now (my husband included) who are considering the question of having a DNR order put on their medical file, as a matter of legal documentation. They say, I'm old, sick, my body is worn out, why would I want to be resuscitated? It's a quality of life issue, etc. I have heard all the arguments.

Over 15 years ago or so, before I ever started this blog, I was in the hospital with double pneumonia. I was there for over a week and was not improving. Right before I had gotten sick, I had a horrible break up with the guy I was seeing at the time and was hurt very badly. I remember saying, Lord just let me die already. My life sucks and I just want it to be over.

I felt the Lord say, I have plans for you. That was the day that I started getting better. This whole blog documents, how the Lord's plans unfolded for me and continues to unfold.

The point is, we don't know what plans the Lord has for us. Whether He will heal us and strengthen our bodies or not.

The adversary would love it if we all just laid down and died, especially now – save him the trouble. The devil is the biggest douche of all, why make it easy for him? Not sure what else I can say about it. 

Take care out there.

 

Could They Be Bluffing?

As I stated before – paying your federal taxes is voluntary in this country. Of course, not paying your taxes has always carried the threat of violence.

“The IRS also has the power to levy your bank accounts, garnish your wages and place a lien on your property if you don't voluntarily pay what you owe. In serious cases, you may even face criminal charges.”- Turbo Tax

Now this recent scary bill has just been passed where they are going to hire 87,000 new IRS agents fully armed with orders to use lethal force. That coupled with the over $700 million in new money to hire said agents and the over 5 million in ammunition they have at their disposal – INCLUDING hollow point bullets – well, paints a horrifying picture for the average law-abiding citizen, doesn't it?

Part of being a good American citizen, a true patriot, was paying our taxes. We pledged our allegiance to the flag, obeyed the speed limit, went to do our civic duty and voted, even if we had to hold our noses to do it. We believed in paying our taxes. It was the right thing to do. We were brainwashed from our youth to believe in those things.

But here is the bluff I was talking about:

Where are they going to get the WORKERS to take those jobs? The IRS was already short-staffed before this. They literally did not have any people to hire for the jobs the had open before this bill.

Here is from IRS.gov itself:

“We're open and processing mail, tax returns, payments, refunds and correspondence. However, COVID-19 continues to cause delays in some of our services. Our service delays include:

• Live phone support

• Processing tax returns filed on paper

• Answering mail from taxpayers

• Reviewing tax returns, even for returns filed electronically”

If you scroll down the page it states, “COVID-19 operations and staffing limits have affected other services”

As of right now – they haven't even finished processing 2021 tax forms and there are people out there still waiting for their refunds from last year.

They are actually going to have bots start answering the phones because they just don't have the actual staff to do it. Are the bots going to enforce it?

I'm officially calling their bluff.

 

FBI Raids Mar-A-Lago

 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation took time out of their busy schedule of planning sloppily obvious false flag school shootings and working over mentally ill young adults into planting bombs at tree-lighting ceremonies to raid former President Donald Trump's Florida estate, Mar-A-Lago, Monday night.

Due to the extremely low ratings and viewership of the recent mini-series, “Jan 6 Show Trial – Trump Did it and We can Prove it,” the decision was made by AG Merrick Garland, the official douchebag in charge of the DOJ, to get a warrant for possible classified documents that he knows for a fact President Trump has in his possession.

According to Maggie Haberson's upcoming book, “How I sucked my way to the top: Orange Man Bad Edition” (due to be released in October), President Trump was most known for ripping up documents and flushing them down the toilet, leaving incriminating evidence behind. She has pictures to prove it that were totally not faked by her. She pinky swears.

Armed with plungers and various other plumbing supplies, the FBI inspected all the toilets at Mar-A-Lago, just in case. After that they stood around for 9 hours doing nothing. A search of the safe yielded only autographed black and white glossy photo's of President Trump laughing and pointing at them.

Because of supply chain issues and the fact that China refuses to give us more, no thumb drives (easily stored in one's pocket) could be located by the president's aides, thus the FBI was able to uncover 30 cases of documents that were stored in the freezer, right between the lobster and Quiche Lorraine.

This is an ongoing investigation.

Extortion 101

 

Extortion is a crime in which one person attempts to force another person to do something against his will. Extortion is used to force the victim to give property or money to the perpetrator, or to take some action, such as giving someone a promotion, or voting for something.

I was going to write about the farce that just passed in the Senate double-speak named the “inflation reduction bill”.

Luckily – other people beat me to it:

Dissident Thoughts: The Squeeze Is Coming

The Small Hold: 87,000 New IRS Cops?

What people don't remember or are not aware of – paying your taxes is voluntary and always has been. Here is an excerpt from Turbo Tax: 

 

“Failure to comply

Although the U.S. tax system is voluntary, failure to comply carries stiff penalties. If you under-report your income or overstate your deductions, you'll face fines and interest charges. If you fail to file a tax return, the IRS will file a substitute return based only on the information it has—meaning you likely won't receive the benefit of any deductions and will end up paying more tax than you should. The IRS also has the power to levy your bank accounts, garnish your wages and place a lien on your property if you don't voluntarily pay what you owe. In serious cases, you may even face criminal charges.”

Once you have signed your tax return, on the other hand – now it is a legally binding contract. It still all boils down to compliance. So it's voluntary but if don't comply we will mess you up in a myriad of ways. And now that they have tied climate change, your health and your digital asset management all together the IRS can now going around breaking knee caps for non-compliance.

It makes you wonder what they have planned in the future. The real question is – when they hire all these new IRS agents – will they be hired for their ability to audit a tax form or for their small arms marksmanship? I guess we may know soon enough.

Take care out there.

Day Off

I took the day off today. Have a couple floating holidays I need to use up, plus, my job accrues PTO fast so I figured I would give myself some three day weekends. I finished organizing my stores yesterday. Just going to do some laundry and putz around for the rest of the day. I was going to post a cute animal video, but even they are tainted. What is with all the cucumbers? Never mind, I don't want to know.

 

The Great Oregon Bag Debacle – Pre-plandemic to the Present

(This post is dedicated to my friend Cederq who recently moved back to Oregon and came face to face with having to pay 5 cents a bag when buying groceries. I feel for you Cederq. I felt the same way.)

Here is a link to Cederq's post over at the Busted Knuckles blog:

5 cents, 5 fucking cents….

I thought I would give the historical context on how Oregon got there. From my own personal experience. Sorry – I don't have time for finding links and exact dates. Just going to give a rough timeline from my own memory – which is sketchy at best.

Back in the day, when I was growing up, when you went to the store, they bagged your groceries in brown paper bags. It was just the way it was and no-body gave it much thought.

Somewhere around the late 70's – early 80's – a bunch of wealthy tree-hugging environmentalists moved to Oregon from California. They decided that paper bags were bad because they needed to save the forests – even though Oregon is 85% timberland. So they introduced plastic bags. If they could have at the time, they would have eliminated paper bag use altogether. But there was still such a high demand for paper bags, that they had to be content with the choice “paper or plastic.”

Early in the 21^st century – when virtue signaling was in it's infancy – those same environmentalists noticed that all those plastic bags were starting to pile up in landfills. So the paper bags were evil (save the forests – SAVE THE EARTH) and plastic bags were evil (save the landfills – SAVE THE EARTH!)

Enter the re-usable bag. Those were the semi-cloth bags that folded like a paper bag but with handles and bright colors on the outside. They were $1.50 or $2.00 each and everybody who was anybody was using them. I began to smell a rat. I definitely smelt a psy-op. I doubled down and refused to use re-usable bags no matter how many dirty looks I got in the grocery check out line. This went on for years.

January 1, 2020. I go to the grocery store like usual. When I get up to pay – the checker informs me that I will now be FORCED to buy re-usable bags because paper and plastic bags were ILLEGAL!

WTF!

Yep – they had dubbed the usual plastic bags as “single-use” (which was such a LIE because we all re-used them) and that was somehow evil because they said so (saving the planet doncha know). It was really and truly illegal now to use them in the store. I was completely blindsided with the news and had to buy four or five re-usable bags unless I wanted my groceries rolling around all over the car. I was HIGHLY pissed off at the stupidity of such a law.

All of a sudden, single-use plastic bags were hard to come by. I hadn't realized how much I did re-use them until I couldn't get them anymore. I remember an HR guy teasing me about “contraband” because I had a couple stashed in my desk drawer. I lamented the fact that I had just thrown a bunch away right before that and they were now gone forever. Well, almost forever.

March 2020. Covid hits and insanity ensues. Everything changed at the grocery stores. At first you weren't required to wear a mask, then you were. Social distancing was mandatory and there were stickers on the floors showing you how far apart you could stand as you waited in line. There were big arrow stickers on the floors showing you that the aisles were now one way only.

(Side note: I didn't notice the arrows at first. I was looking up at the shelf, trying to find a jar of pickles. A woman covered head to toe and heavily masked started screaming at me and pointing at the floor. Her husband – who was not wearing a mask – was blocking my way forward. I was going the wrong way. When I realized it was me she was screaming at, I got so mad that I got right in her face and told her to F off. I was surprised at myself. I had never done that before. I walked over to the veggie department and told my husband that I had just told some old biddy to F off. He just grinned and said, “That's my girl.”)

Overnight, reusable bags had become toxic, super spreaders. If you touched it, ain't no way a checker was going to touch it. It could be contagious. So now, you couldn't use the reusable bags because of the possibility of cooties, but they also couldn't go back to the “single use” bags – having just run a highly successful campaign against them.

So they brought in these thick plastic bags that were practically useless. They were too thick to be re-used and were so badly designed that they sucked to even use for your groceries. Everyone hated them. Just one more thing to stress everyone out.

At the end of the day, they quietly made it legal again to use paper or plastic “single use” bags at the grocery stores. It was going to cost you 5 cents a bag now, which may have been the plan all along. Oregonian's were now willing to pay the 5 cents because they could have a tiny slice of normal back in their lives and everyone could just stop talking about it already.

So, suck it up and pay the 5 cents, because in Oregon, it LITERALLY could be worse. Take care out there my friends. (LOL)

On Finding a Pack

 

The Good Citizen has an amazing post that lays out the cold hard facts on a possible future scenario:

The Strength of the Wolf

My current pack consists of my poor sick husband and an old fat beagle. My neighbors are transitory. Some stay for the weekend, some for a couple weeks and then they are gone. Never to be seen again. We have one permanent neighbor who I have noticed, flying his little drone around, but I've never really talked to him. Maybe I should.

Not really sure how long we will be in this spot. As long as I have my job, we are to remain here. If that goes away, then I don't really know. Where ever the Lord leads I guess. 

For now - we are pack-less.

Take care out there.

Good Bye Oregon. Nice Knowing You.

 

Well. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Oregonians To Vote On Gun Control Measure Opponent Calls "Strictest" In The Nation

Watch closely because this bill will pass one way or another. Oregon has had mail-in ballots for years and while living there, I always felt like it didn't matter which way you voted. There was no way to check if they processed your vote properly or not and they were pretty secretive when it came to counting those votes.

Oregon has had controversial ballot measures in the past, such as giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens, etc. When the people of the state voted it down three times in a row, the Oregon Legislature just had one of their “emergency sessions” and rammed it through anyway. The political leadership in that state is corrupt to high heaven and you know they are just itching to make it near impossible to obtain firearms.

I still believe they will lock down the borders of Oregon in the near future and you won't be able to travel in or out of the state unless you have a vax passport. Oh, and while they have you stopped on the side of the road checking your shot status, they might just inquire about your guns to see if you are in compliance. Do not consent to let them search your vehicle and tell them you want a lawyer and say nothing more. We live in very dark times my friends.

Buy guns and ammo while you still can. They need you disarmed as a whole to make it easier to kill you later. Can't have 2^nd amendment advocates skulking around talking about their “rights” now can we?

Take care out there.

Where are All the Workers?

I know that lots of other people have asked this question in the truth community, but it bears asking again. Where is everyone?

I like to listen to Southern Prepper1's “Boots on the Ground” reports on you tube. You can find his channel here. Almost every report he mentions restaurants and fast food joints either closing or running on reduced hours due to not having enough workers. Why?

So what do we know?

My generation (Gen X) has lamented for a while about the younger generations (Gen Z, millennial's) having a serious lack of work ethic. In their defense, they really got a raw deal. They do not know what life is like without computer's, cell phones and video games. They can't afford to move out of the house because rents are astronomical and there is no way they can even think of buying a house. So they still live with mom and dad. Aren't their parents making them get jobs? Who is paying for their cell phones and video games?

Some are afraid that whatever the next wave the TV tells them about might get them. Seriously – I know people personally that feel that way. Some have taken the shot and are too sick to work (that is being actively covered up – but the insurance companies can't help but notice.) There are those that are unwilling to get the shot and can't find a job that doesn't require it. Catch 22. We hear about high school athletes dropping dead suddenly. Maybe there are more out there that we don't hear about.

Moving on – what about all those flooding across the border? Who is paying their way lately? What are they doing with their time? They aren't filling the jobs.

Some small businesses can't actually afford to hire anyone, having basically been destroyed because of mandates and loss of customers due to the economy. They will never be coming back.

Higher up, I believe there are a lot more of us out here that were forced out of our jobs due to the v requirements. Doctors, nurses, firemen, policemen etc. Don't even get me started on how they have absolutely destroyed our military. Want to know why recruitment is down? Because you completely suck now in the most traitorous way imaginable. No one wants to be part of your gay and tranny army and you forced all the good men out. What a sad, sad joke. The only silver lining is, our good soldiers who were forced out are back in our communities. Solidly on our side.

I wish I had more information and insights for you, but for now, the question remains unanswered.

 

Remember the Loaves and Fishes

 

So, a funny thing happened to me yesterday, thought I would share.

Last week, while shopping, I wanted to get some ground beef. I was shocked at the prices! I've never seen ground beef so expensive! I just stood there at a loss for a few minutes. Kind of looked up and down at the meat prices, not really willing to pay so much.

In a little corner of the meat aisle were some packages of ground beef with stickers on them that said, reduced for quick sale $4.63 for a pound. That was ironic since normally ground beef is $3.50 or there about. The meat still looked good and it was the lowest price they had so I went ahead and bought it. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got home.

On Saturday I pulled it out and stuck it in the fridge to thaw. I wanted to use up all the odds and end veggies I had in the fridge before they went bad. I asked my husband if he wanted noodles or rice for a casserole. He said rice. I said, you got it.

So a spent an hour or so cutting up the veggies. This is what I ended up having in my fridge: half a yellow onion, half a red pepper, half a green pepper and a half a can of corn. I had a beef steak tomato that wasn't going to make it through the week. I seeded it and chopped it up. I had an older bunch of green onions and wanted to make way for the new green onions so sliced them up.

I made some rice – but not from our stores – this was from an open bag of jasmine that we already had and that bag isn't empty. I made extra rice because it will keep in a plastic baggie for a while in the fridge and I hate making rice. Lol!

So I started cooking everything in a big frying pan and decided to see if there was anything else I could throw in. Found a fourth of a jar of alfredo sauce, some sage that was dried that had been fresh, threw them in. There was even a little container of ranch dressing left over from the hot wings we had on our anniversary, threw that in too.

Paprika is an underappreciated spice in my opinion. I love it so I put in a little extra, along with some other spices. Added some cheese on top and put it in the oven.

Out of that one pound of ground beef and my other leftovers – I had enough casserole for lunches for most of the week AND enough to freeze some for dinner next week. I estimate 10 meals altogether and nothing was wasted. It was really yummy too.

I thought about Jesus and the loaves and fishes. 5 loaves and I think 2 fish - after feeding a huge crowd of people they had 12 baskets of leftovers. That's God's amazing provision!

Take care out there!
