WHAT IS ON THE MENU: FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS: With funding momentum waning, and consumer education still a steep hurdle for growth, the cultivated meat industry could experience a major “shakeout” leading to the consolidation of key players, a new report from finance advisor Oghma Partners said.
More Problems For Beyond Meat-Company slashing 19% of workforce as revenue estimates continue to tumble.
TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: We’re almost in mid-November, a time when my family is collecting presents from the usual sources; stores, online, etc. but also making gifts. I’ll readily and honestly submit that a homemade gift, edible or not, is much preferred to something made overseas. I just canned a gaggle of jars of apple sauce, it came out wonderfully, they will become Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends as we move closer to Christmas.
I also will make Creme Fraiche, packed into cute little canning jars with a simple handwritten label and a red ribbon to bring to Christmas parties for the host. Trust me, a gift like this will be very welcomed as opposed to some lame bottle of wine you buy at Trader Joe’s on the way to the party. Gits made with care always impress and IMO are so fun to make.
Here is a short idea list of things you could possibly make:
-
Creme Fraiche, find my video here
-
Chow Chow, a simple canned vegetable medley of cabbage, peppers, onions, garlic, vinegar
-
Homemade pasta sauce, your best recipe for pasta or even pizza sauce
-
Popcorn-in particular flavored popcorn…use cheese powder or caramel, or both
-
Chocolate nut bark-lovely and easy
-
Chocolate Truffles-easy to make and are a big hit when packed into a colorful bag or even a glass jar
-
House-made Irish cream
-
Homemade vanilla extract-make this season, tell them to wait a few months to use it
-
Smoked chicken mousse-smoke chicken thighs and blend with cream, shallots, garlic, parsley, white wine, salt & white pepper. Pack into jars….perfect for parties
-
Apple butter
-
Spiced pecans-lovely and easy
-
Coffee liqueur-here is a good recipe
-
Homemade cranberry sauce
I could keep adding to this list but I think that gives you an idea of what you can make.
I feel strongly that we’re headed into a time, economically speaking, that gift giving will be a much better option than buying some crap from overseas. Most things we buy enrich other countries and they fall apart rather quickly so discover the benefits (and cost savings) of making gifts with your own hands!
HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: In addition to giving gifts that you make, maybe you can offer Heirloom seeds as gifts to those who garden or plan to garden.

Read The Independent Farmstead by Sean & Beth Daugherty, I am a few chapters in and find it to be an excellent read for those looking to homestead.
ECONOMIC NEWS:
Unemployment rate spikes, jobs numbers are a fraud and have been revised lower 7 monthls in a row, tax revenues down yet they tell you economy is booming. Are there people dumb enough to belive this? well maybe…!
PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION:
LC King Manufacturing in Kingsport Tennesee. This US company has been producing amazing garments for many decades, support these folks and buy real hardwearing clothing made by Americans, skip Target, Gap, H&M, Ross, Old Navy, and other outlets that sell crappy imported garments. Buy real clothing!
CLOSING THOUGHTS: Skip the store, go to the kitchen, and make it yourself.
