Personally my wife and I were brought up in houses where the heating was basically that of open coal fires. In between rooms you dressed! If you see films or programmes from the 70’s backwards you tend to see folks actually dressed ! Clothes on their backs. :lol: Yep, my parents didn't get central ...

Welcome to the forum! That's a great first post. You're absolutely right that prepping in South Africa is really different from the crowded UK. So living in East Anglia is a good start you've made :) I'd be really wary of calling what you're doing "prepping" - I'd advise you to investigate...

dizzydays - sorry to hear that, I hope you get over it all soon. I still take precautions - masked in airport and on the plane, even on busy buses on holiday. I've had covid once, and it took two months from my life. With the worries for long term health over repeat infections coming to the fore, I'...

I understand absolutely. As a vegetarian, it's a complete pain to have digestive problems in relation to cows' products! Goat and sheep milk/cheese are fine, fortunately. I'm lucky that I don't have a problem with nuts, or I really would be stuck. Still thinking about buckwheat, and I do like how it...

We have gluten & corn intolerances - we bulk buy buckwheat flour as this seems closest to wheat for many things and is a fairly good complete protein. Feel free to compare notes on the different flours and egg alternatives as we now have a fair collection of modified recipes. The one thing we h...

If using milkyou will need to add the acid seperately. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/homemade-buttermilk I don't use lemon juice, but do have vinegar, so ...

Or... https://hallans.co.uk/somayas-indian-grocery-store/ Yep, I've been to that store - it's a good one, with the online business attached, and the only reason its not my first recommendation is that naturally it focuses on the Indian subcontinent (and supplying every restaurant and hotel within t...

Agreed about the prepper doctrine of storing what I eat. This is what makes food storage challenging, along with the need to use and eat foods with a long shelf life. At least there's no "tasting panel"! I also use TVP, dried lentils and other pulses and beans. I find chickpeas take too l...

Went for a fitness walk this morning, and used it to check on emergency evac route on foot towards my sister's house. Local conditions change continually - since I moved here 14 years ago (!) my town has increased from 25,000 to 40,000, and a lot of it is between sister and I, grrr. Found a nice cut...
