How to Preserve Sweet Corn
by Phil Williams

I really like sweet corn, but most of my corn comes ripe around the same time, so I can only eat so much fresh. The rest, I think blanching and freezing is the easiest and best way to preserve that sweet corn taste.

1. Pick your sweet corn at the proper time, not too late, and not too early. The best time to pick the corn is when the silk on top of the corn husk is brown and dry.

A great article that discusses the many benefits of using ginger root to combat the feeling of nausea, upset stomach and as a digestive aide.  Fresh root is best but also having some in dried tea form works well too.  Keep in mind that organic ginger root can be planted in container pots and grown as a nice house plant.

How to Preserve Basil Efficiently
by Phil Williams

We use basil almost every time we cook. It is an extremely versatile herb that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. The problem with basil is that it is a summer annual that we only have fresh for about five months of the year. We always have a lot more fresh basil than we could ever eat. This of course leads us to want to preserve the excess basil.

An interesting article and lots of tips and ideas on how to create a bug out / get home bag for your kids when they are away at school.  Also lots of ideas of how to build one with zero tolerance rules being in the mix when planning.  (Reminds me of how I have to check for my daughters wilderness survival knife (class requirement) in her backpack before sending her off to music theater class).
