Beans in the Sun Oven

I have a friend who told me how to cook beans in the sun oven. We are not bean eaters so I filed it in the back of my mind to try one day. Today was that day! What becky told me to do was put the beans in a pot (black), rinse and sort. Fill pot twice as high as the beans and put it out to cook. EASY RIGHT? Yep!

Hard to believe beans could be that easy. No soaking or anything. I put them in at 11AM pointed them towards the sun and left. I was gone for a while and returned at 1:30 ad turned the oven. Left again, came home and checked the beans, they were soft. I added some onion (dried), garlic (fresh) and salt and pepper. Left again and just took them out at 5:45pm. No worrying about boiling over or if they are cooking long enough. Stick them in and move the oven around a bit and wah-la you're done.

Close up. I used black beans and some northern beans.



Below is my bread I like to make in the Sun Oven




I LOVE MY GLOBAL SUN OVEN. :)

Life Caps 72hr Challenge

Some of you may have heard about LIFE CAPS. They have been talked about on Good Morning Utah. They are the worlds first Survival Capsule. I have decided to try the 72 hour challenge. I will go without food for 3 days and use the Life Caps only with water, to simulate an emergency. I have 72hr kits in my house, but what if something happens while I am out? And my kids can take these, well eat the powder (sweet fruity flavored).

Life Caps are taken with water and are 100% absorbed in the blood stream in 20 minutes giving you a full feeling. I will be blogging my experience over the next few days.

You can find more info at . If all goes well and I like the results, I have survived, I will do a group order.

Downloads and files

About a month ago I started a GOOGLE GROUP. I post files and send out emails through it. You can find dozens of great files that range from Alcohol stoves to homemade cheese. I am finding new things and adding them. If you are interested in getting emails, you can join the group or you can just book mark and come back regularly. More the merrier!

Hope to see you there.

Silly Silly People

Silly Silly People

Noah told the people that the rain was going to fall
Noah told the people they better get on the ball
Noah told the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked He would trod

Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!

Lehi told the people that Jerusalem would fall
Lehi told the people, but all they did was stall
Lehi told the people, to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked he would trod

Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!

Samuel told the people as he stood upon the wall
that Christ would come in five short years and save them from the fall
Samuel told the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked he would trod.

Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!

Our prophet tells the people that there's not much time at all
Our prophet tells the people, they better get on the ball
Our prophet tells the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God has had it up to here and the wicked he will trod.

So if we look into our pantry's and find that they are bare
and if our scriptures on the shelf, show not wear or tear.
Could we be silly people? Are we possibly that kind?
That we refuse to hear our God, could we be "Oh So Blind?"
