Mr. Rawles,
First, I would like to say thank you for honoring our Lord in your work. Thanks also, for writing your novel “Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse”. It is excellent. I have been recommending it to all of those I love.
As I have been preparing for a while, I have been more often cooking my prep food and trying to adjust to that life style. I have been caching “Treet“. It is a canned [spiced luncheon] meat that has a consistency similar to bologna. I have been storing Treet rather than Spam, because it is supposed to keep for about a year longer than Spam, and it is about 75 cents less expensive [per can].
The following is a delicious recipe that I came up with from my survival stores.
1-1/2 cup rice
1- Teaspoon of salt
A few shakes of garlic powder
A few shakes of onion powder
Some celery seed
Parsley flakes
Thyme
A dash of paprika since color affects our attitudes about food
One can of cubed Treet, sauteed
Soy Sauce to taste
Cook the rice to the desired consistency and then add the cubed Treet and soy sauce. Adjust salt and soy to your preferences. – Trevor T.
