Dining Under the Sun and Stars:

When we do not have a stove to heat with wood or turn on with the flip of a switch, we have to find a way to cook. Additionally, using natural cooking solutions saves money and reduces dependence on "the grid". Our ancestors found a way to cook . . . even in winter. These Videos, Podcasts and articles explain how to cook good healthy food for a fraction of the cost of conventional cooking methods. DUTCH OVEN COOKING: There is something nostalgic about Dutch oven cooking over an open flame. The smell, the feel and the taste of this experience cannot be replicated by any other method of cooking. The Dutch oven brings out that warm feeling of being “home” regardless of where I may be in the world. As I huddle around the fire ring with my group, preparing our meal, the Dutch oven becomes part of my extended family.

PRIMITIVE COOKING: Learning to cook with a campfire, without man-made utensils, can be one of the most relaxing and rewarding experiences. Whether you're camping or in an actual emergency situation, common primitive cooking methods are skills worth knowing. The first skills necessary, however, are knowing how to start and build a fire. Then choose the primitive cooking method appropriate for the situation, available resources and weather.

Ash Cooking: Gather the food and large, live, non-poisonous plant leaves (preferably edible with stems or vines still attached). Slowly let the fire die while flattening the hot coals (but not burning with flames). Wrap the food in the leaves, using the stem/vine to hold it together. Place the food onto the coals. Use a stick to move some hot coals over top of the food so it can cook on both sides.

Broiling: Unless a pan is available, make something that can hold the food over the fire without it falling in. Strong, live, non-poisonous branches fashioned into a basket-weave pattern may do. Then lay the food on the boiler to cook. Flip the food as needed to cook thoroughly.

Hot Stone Cooking: Use a flat surface rock no less that one inch thick. Make sure the rock is clean but dry. Heat the rock on coals or over the fire until hot to touch. Place the food on the rock to cook.

Plank Cooking: Best woods for making planks are poplar, cedar, and oak; not conifers (pines). Cut into planks or rounds large enough for your food and cook similar to Hot Stone Cooking.

Steam Pit Cooking: Wrap food in large leaves, as when ash cooking. Dig a pit in the ground a foot to two feet deep. Line the bottom of it with hot coals. Place the food on top of the coals and then cover it with the earth you dug up. Allow it to sit for at least a couple of hours (even small food will take a while to cook this way). Then dig it up, and dig in!

Spit Cooking: Like a whole chicken spinning slowly on a rotisserie, that's spit cooking. Bury two "Y"-shaped (the top of a K is a better shape for pounding into the ground) branches, one on each side near the fire. Another straight, non-poisonous, hard-wood branch will pass through the food and hang on the two "Y"-shaped branches. Secure the food with non-poisonous vines or twine so it doesn't fall off as it cooks and turns. Turn the food occasionally to cook completely.

Clay Cooking: Wrap food in large leaves, as when ash cooking. Dig far enough into the ground and you'll, usually, find clay. Make sure that the area you dig wasn't once the place of toxic chemicals. Pack the clay around the food, in an even layer, to promote even cooking. Lay the clay-covered package over hot coals and allow it to cook. The time of cooking will depend on not only the size of the food being cooked, but also the thickness of the clay.

Shovel Skillet: Most backpackers and bug-out-bags will carry a small, foldable shovel to dig a latrine, fire pit or cover fire coals to put out a fire. A Not-So-Primitive cooking method is using a shovel as a skillet when no pots, pans or griddle are available. The metal shovel is excellent for cooking meats, veggies and breads. The [usual] long handle, makes it convenient to maneuver the food in and around the fire for different temperatures.

Makeshift Cooking Tools help with the cooking process. A Rake or Pitchfork can be used as skewers for roasting meats. A metal fork can be repurposed into a pan handle by poking holes in a metallic can in line with the fork tines, inserting the tines into the holes then bending the tines in an alternating pattern. This provides a safe, sturdy handle to move the can of food in and around the fire.

Today's before & after pics! I wish ALL days were as good as today. Hoping our species wakes up in time to salvage a little more life before my time here ends. Gonna push it really hard, juice some carrots, & hope I can eat tonight & function tomorrow.🤞 The furkids come first, so anything remaining today goes to them. I did have some oatmeal, banana, & protein powder in my coffee, so a carrot juice for dinner won't be all that bad if that's all I can muster. I'm in serious pain though. #MECFS sucks. I'll pay for this tomorrow. Days this good are extremely rare & very precious. I hope more people will learn & change before they are forced to. We can't keep poisoning ourselves; we just can't! This #solaroven may just help me maximize efficiency to try to squeeze as much as I can into trying to extract as much quality of life we as possible though. It works with my plan to try to just cook 1 thing for dinner per day. Being very ill FORCES a person to be as efficient as possible. Really appreciating our beautiful sun that gives us free, clean energy.💕🌞💕 The tests were right. I should have been an engineer. Oh well, I can still contribute ideas to companies. I have a ton of ideas for #GoSun! As for #PWMEs, I can only help those who are willing to admit to inconvenient truths & fight for their health like their lives depend on it. Anyway, gotta be mindful, as this day was indeed a gift. Damned grateful for it! Any day I can meet my ADLs is a really big gift. Living within the energy envelope takes a ton of discipline. It's a sentence in hell for type A personalities. I fantasize about having a clean, orderly home. Then again, grateful just to have a home at all & vividly aware that so many don't. We have so far to go & it seems the clock is running out. Now kids are dying & animal species are vanishing & no one blinks an eye. If that won't change us, what will? #SolarCooking #CleanEnergy #StopEnvironmentalIllness #dowhatyoucan #lesstalkmorewalk #boomershadfiftyyears (to wean off filthy carcinogenic fuels) #justdoitalready #gosolar #behavelikeyourkidslivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb8ULZmubpM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Making Sun ☀️ S’mores in a Solar Oven - No campfire required! The Sun made a welcome return where we are today! 😃 Yay! So, we decided to make the most of it! Let’s face it, homeschooling is hard enough as it is, without trying to persuade young kids to stay indoors and complete worksheets when all they really want to do is be outside. Plus, playing is the best way to learn too. And, everybody loves S’mores! So, really, this mini science project is a win for all involved! It’s tasty and it doesn’t feel like work. What’s not to love?! To make ‘Sun S’mores’ you need to harness the energy of the Sun by making a solar oven. A solar oven is a box that traps some of the Sun’s energy to make the air inside the box hotter than the air outside the box. In other words, the solar oven is like a super greenhouse. We found the idea on https://climatekids.nasa.gov/smores/ so you can find all the details of exactly what to do there, but, basically, it involves lining a shoebox with aluminium foil 😂 Simples! Also, when it came to constructing our S’mores, we only had cream crackers in the house 🤦🏻‍♀️ but, they actually worked just fine and the kids still loved them! 🤷🏻‍♀️ You could try using digestive biscuits as an alternative to the classic Graham crackers too. Having celebrated Earth Day a few weeks ago; when we spoke about all the different ways we can help our planet by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling, this was a great activity to consolidate that learning and talk about why reducing the amount of energy we use and finding alternative, natural, energy sources is important. It’s also just really fun and they thought it was cool that we could cook something in a shoe box! 😂 I’m pretty sure we’ll be doing a few more experiments with our solar oven over the next few days, if the weather stays nice! #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #solarenergy #solaroven #solarsmores #sunsmores #scienceforkids #funlearning #learningathome #eyfs #eyfsscience #eyfsinspiration #lockdownlearning #eyfsideas #homelearningfun https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbVu5zHM09/?igshid=bfziggtu47po
