It's easy to halve the potato where there's love. The whole idea behind my supper club was to have “family style” dinners which means that each participant is treated as family. I want to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, enjoy dinner conversation and a good meal. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s hard for people to slow down, sit down and enjoy dinner. This is my attempt to bring this tradition back – at least in my home. I miss having people to eat with, I believe strongly t …

Update: January 15, 2013 Who we are and what we are doing: We are a group of individuals and families who are following the pioneer spirit that founded this great country.  We are, as Holly said in her food presentation, concentrating on preparing for the little disasters with high probability.  A car goes out of control or an ice storm hits and you have no power for a few days.  A hurricane visits and now you need a few weeks.  Without power how will you heat and cook?  If you cannot leave yo …
