I'm loving your posts. Thank you for these articles.
I began baking bread during "the pandemic", after losing all my contracts and small business "during lockdowns", and once regaining other employment, losing every single job thereafter (no employment insurance) due to my having declined the #FuckTrudeau jab mandates.
Got stuck in Canada after November 2021, due to #LetsGoBrandon and #FuckTrudeau travel jab requirements.
(My friend STILL cannot return to the Philippines... due to jab status.)
With ALL that said:
There was "no yeast" available in local grocery stores, and very little flour, for quite some time, due to "panic buying".
I was finally able to score a good amount of "recently expired" instant and active yeast for a good price. 😁 Woo hoo! And flour. (And a supply of liquid ivermectin for my "horse"...)
Using 7 gm of that expired yeast, 350 ml of Brita filtered water, a bit of honey (mixed into the warm water & yeast, wait until frothy & well "proved") 560 grams of flour (I can now find 10 kg unbleached Canadian prairie wheat all purpose flour, on sale), 2 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter and 5 gm of sea salt, and implementing my no fail "no knead" method:
I can have 10x 95 gram (scale weighed dough) Portuguese buns (begun at 8:30 am) for .08 cents CAD each, or .05 US, cooling on wire racks by 12:30 pm.
These Portugues rolls would cost me $3.99 CAD @ the supermarket, for 6, or .55 CAD each at "the deli", or around .60 apiece @ an independent local bakery.
This is one way in which I've survived "Covid in Canada" for 3.5 years and counting. With hardly any income. (And zero "assistance" from the #FuckTrudeau or provincial government.)
PS: I used to own and operate an organic restaurant, back in the day, when "organic" ingredients were extremely difficult to source, unlike now.
Glad to hear you've been hanging in there. I wonder if I could mail you a care package of necessities that you can't find - or that I have extra of. My dad is barely eating much now and I changed my mom's diet and her symptoms improved, so there's stuff he could eat but isn't able healthwise (endstage - lifecycle happens - just faster with the d*** jabs).
I have also been adding a dropper of an extract. I have Propolis and Black Cohosh and some plantain/pomegranate peel that I made myself. I use one at a time in a beverage.
The infrared energy counts per Roman, of The Power Couple, for human health - get out there in the winter too. But it might take longer and in freezing temperatures, would freeze.
I was thinking if I got a better sunlamp for plants and my health, that would probably structure water too. Like a medicinal garden halogen intense light, not just a fluorescent.
Otherwise, the blender method with a little ghee or MCT oil is something I'm going to try also. I bought some ghee, but haven't tried it yet. That would be for hot beverages I think - need to try it though and see. *It had been mentioned for the yak butter tea and Dean Asprey's Bullet coffee.

There ARE ways of surviving.

You just gave me a great idea with the Roobios! Love that stuff. I find that water I leave in the Sun tastes sweeter.
Do you have any thoughts on copper tensor rings Jennifer? (you can see one in the pic here):

Looks neat. Would that work without sunshine? Just leave the water bottle in the ring for a day or two?
I just tried the diatomaceous earth bottle of water - yum!
Great question- I'm doing some more research into tensor rings and will let you know what I find. Happy the DE was yummy. DE chocolate milk next? 🤣
I have been doing the blended coffee with MCT oil - yum. I add other stuff too.
I saw that, and the other stuff! Looks good.
I have also been adding a dropper of an extract. I have Propolis and Black Cohosh and some plantain/pomegranate peel that I made myself. I use one at a time in a beverage.
Wicked. Never tried black cohosh. Thanks for the tip Jennifer!
Wow - glad to learn about structured water in glass jar+ 2 days in sun. Would that work on cold but sunny days?

I believe the sun warmth alone will do it with some time. I added a little diatomaceous earth to my last batch on Roman Shapoval's recommendation.
So far I left it in the bottom of the jar where it had settled out. I will try it eventually.
