Came across this “CanCooker” at my local GS. Pretty cool take on a possible off-grid cooking method. From what I can tell it is a large pot with a tight-fitting lid that is clamped shut.  A small amount of water is added – then food is thrown in. It basically acts as an oven and a steamer. There are a variety of recipes I looked at and they sound really good kinda like a Crock Pot.

Tennessee is suing the Federal government to stop forcing the state to accept both refugee’s and the financial expenses that come with them. I like it. The more States-rights can be put out there and get the idea that if it is NOT in the Constitution then the power should go to the States the better.

Looks like New England is going to get totally SLAMMED with high wind’s, frigid temps, and in some places over 20″ of snow.  Be safe folks!!

Speaking of snow – Saturday night my area actually received a few inches. It was gone by the afternoon but was nice waking up to. Jake and Bella enjoyed it while it lasted.

    Just an FYI, but another item like the Can Cooker is the Calico Jacks Thermal Cooker. There have been many like it in the past, and the premise is the you heat the pot on a stove, fire, or other heat source enough to boil for 10 minutes. Then you put the pot in its insulated outer container and close it. It will continue to cook for eight hours (plus) so you can take it with you. You can bake, roast, or stew using this process, and it doesn’t allow much of the aroma out so it is low profile. Also since you are only using 10 minutes of fuel it is very efficient. I have tried them and it worked very well. Just my two cents and I have no financial or other connection with the business.

    “Navy Seals and other US Special Forces have been conducting joint drills with South Korea simulating an attack on North Korea….to take out the fat guy with a bad hair cut.

    When I first saw this, I think it was on Fox News, I couldn’t believe the media would be so irresponsible to actually report on this, not to mention the ill advised person in the military who would leak this and endanger our forces. But now, I wonder if this is nothing more than a ploy to push the buttons on this mad man in North Korea into another temper tantrum driven by paranoia. It strikes me as an effort to pull the tail of a sick animal (did not want to degrade a tiger by using it as an example). This may give us the opportunity to find out if his scrap metal missiles can hit Los Angeles. No big loss there. But we may end up finding out the hard way what his satellites orbiting over the US are really for.

    cooking pot. Iron dutch ovens are great for campfire cooking.(and reg. oven cooking and baking)
    Happy you and the dogs got some snow Rourke.

    Here in upstate Ny we are having a LONG blizzard.Schools usually dont close but they did today.NYS Gov. has NYS in an emergency- very rare for us.
    WE have received 28 inches and its still snowing and blowing hard.We plowed with the 4wd truck am but by pm it was useless-snow is very slippery( ffirst time for this-two county plow trucks flipped over from slippery conditions also) Tomorrow we will need to use the 4wd tractor with the front end loader.
    I made a big pot of beef stew with homemade biscuits and the wood fire was cozy.
    Having to walk in this deep snow was tough though and by tomorrow we may have over 36 inches. Happy we are as prepared as we can be .Drones may have to deliver food to those who are snowed in !! One local farmer had his barn roof collapse with 100 cows in it- sad.
    If anyone else is experiencing this blizzard please share photos .Lightning
