Biography

Hi, I am a college student with a civil engineering degree who grows food, plans to move to a homestead and start a family in the near future. I dabble in woodworking, blacksmithing, and sewing. I'm good at growing and preserving food, cooking, and living frugally. Permies has given me a lot of useful information over the years, so I want to participate in this community.

cook soup, stew, pottage, or chowder - PEP BB food.sand.soup

Whatever-is-in-the-Fridge Soup:
3/4 cup dry beans, soaked for 2 days
6 cups water and 5 chicken leg bones, boiled for 6 hours
3 potatoes
1/2 cabbage
2 carrots
2 onions
2 heads of garlic
6 sheets of dried seaweed

Not as good as my rabbit stew or chicken noodle soup, but both of those use premade pasta/noodles.

Cook Grain on a Stove Top - PEP BB food.sand.grain.stove

I cooked buckwheat groats (pseudograin) the same way I have been cooking it since I was a toddler. It is my favorite struggle meal. About 1.5 cups dry made about 3.5 cups cooked. I add water by eye and know when to remove it from the stovetop by instinct so no recipe. Don't mind the makeshift handle!

Clean an Oily Dish Without Soap - PEP BB nest.sand.oilydish

I made pumpkin pancakes with a permies-style recipe—2.5 lb grated discarded halloween pumpkin, 1 cup organic whole wheat flour and 2 eggs, fried on a stainless steel pan with minimal oil. Here is the resulting oily plate. There wasn't enough oil to scrape into a jar or enough scraps to add to compost.

PEP BB nest.sand.dishes - Wash Dishes by Hand

I don't have a dishwasher or enough dishes to fill one rack, so I am submitting three separate loads together. I used no soap, a few teaspoons of baking soda, some paper towels, and about 2.4 gallons of water in total. The steel bowl holds about 11 cups maximum. I collected all water in the bowl and pot during washing to later use it to flush the toilet.
