" DELIGHTFUL PREPAREDNESS"

Tonight at our Preparedness Class taught by Kim Adair, she presented the subject with the "spoonful of sugar, helps the medicine go down" approach. Actually many of us are beginning to realize we are in a drought, and trying to survive this summer's ferocious heat. She made, Chocolate Ice Cream or Milkshakes and Peach Sorbet all from storage, to cool us off. She also made Chewy Granola Bars.


As many of you have watched the effects of Hurricane Irene, we touched again on our need for 72 hour kits - D batteries were gone from the Supermarkets in those areas, within hours.

Kim has taught about 8 classes so far, and we will selectively choose some of her handouts, and send out a "link" in our Relief Society Blasts going forward, so that those who have a "desire" may print them for themselves - thanks to Laurie Johnson for scanning.

Here are two recipes from tonight - to make them perfectly you need a really good blender. a VitaMix or Blendtec are two of the best. The Chocolate Ice Cream is made with Country Cream Chocolate Powdered Milk. We have done one order on the Country Cream Powdered Milk regular, and if we get enough interest, we could do one on the Chocolate Powdered Milk - it has an exceptional taste for powdered milks.
