May Enrichment

This post is way over due. My youngest child is finally in kindergarten, so I am trying to catch up with my life. Back in May, yes, 3 months ago, we had an Enrichment on Emergency Prepardness. It has held at the Gailey's home. They gave us a tour of their food storage. Pictured below is the storage under their stairs. They also have storage in their garage as well. I do like checking out what others are doing when it comes to food storage. It kind of helps you understand where you stand, and what you need to do. It is unfortunate that we don't have a lot of space in Hawaii to devote to food storage.



Among other things discussed, Loha brought an emergency backpack kit for us to see. This isn't a backpack that she put together, but rather one that can be purchased. It gave us an idea what kinds of things to include. I didn't realize that I need to include gloves as well. Also, I think I should buy a tube tent. It doesn't take up a lot of space.



Bro. Gailey provided a meal for us using your food storage. He made a lot of differet dishes.

Bob's Caribbean Black Bean and Rice



Bob's Creole Red Beans and Rice



Bob's Lentil Soup




Bob's Navy Bean Soup



Bob's Pinto Beans and Hamhocks



Bob's Split Pea Soup



The sister returned home well fed. Can't miss any event held at the Gailey's home.

Child's Scripture Bag

This month's sewing project, was a child's scripture bag made from a place mat. I am not a expert on the sewing machine, so don't look too closely.



When you open the bag, there are two zippered pockets for crayons, pens, or paper. With the placemat folded over and sewn, two pockets are created. You can put your Book of Mormon in one pocket and some other treasure in the other pocket.





One more bag to go. I am lucky I only have two children. This bag took two long nights to complete. But the recipient seems to love it.

At the end of the month we will have a cooking class on homemade pizza..... yum.
