"All grain is ordained for the use of man,...to be the staff of life....
All grain is good for the food of man;...--
Nevertheless, wheat for man...."

Doctrine and Covenants 89: 14, 16-17 (Known as the Word of Wisdom)

Our Blog Names

While playing around, we happened upon names that mean wheat. We kind of liked them so we adopted them as our blog names. We'll be signing our blogs with our "wheat" names.

Gwenith - Welch (female) is Honeybee
Basak
- Turkish (female) is Grandma
Zea - Latin (female) is Walkers

OUR QUEST

Basak: My quest is to understand and know why the Lord said, "Nevertheless, wheat for man". I want to know how to prepare and use it in the Lord's ways and thus, it will taste good and our families will want to eat it. I want to know why the word "nevertheless" was used, how much we need and why. My quest is to know it all.

Gwenith: Several months ago, the thought came to me. How will we eat in the Millennium? That sounds funny, I know, but what I mean when I say that is, 'What is a higher law of health and nutrition and how can I eat that way using my food storage?' This is what I am working on.

Zea: My quest... to learn and live the word of wisdom so that me and my family will be blessed to live a healthy life. In this process I've ended up having several "sub" quests, such as learning more about grains, herbs, what things in our diet and life are created by "evil and conspiring men", and needless to say one subject leads to another. Right now I'm trying to put the knowledge I've gathered so far (while still gathering more) into practice for me and my family... not an easy task when you have a picky eater!

And as we pursue our quests, we desire to help others.

Remember the sausage wheat meat?

Still has that ole bouillon! I'm anxious for you to do some experimenting and reporting on the broth method! GO GIRL GO!!!! If I buy broth does it have MSG in it? Oh -- just checked my can and it says "MSG free". Ingredients do say "yeast" and "flavorings" -- which are on the list of "other names" for MSG. Oh my -- how does one do it? Maybe it could be left out and it wouldn't make that much difference in the taste. I wonder??!!

Sausage Wheat Meat

1 3/4 C. water boiling
1 T. bouillon (chicken or beef whichever you want it to taste like.)
1 C. cracked wheat

Cook on low until water is all absorbed and wheat is very soft.
Makes 3 cups

Sausage seasoning (you may want to half this)
3 T. ground rosemary
7 T. ground sage
7 T. salt (7 is too much;I think I put in 3)
3 T. and 1 tsp powdered butter (optional)(not)
3 T. and 1 tsp powdered basil
2 T. cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper
2 T. garlic powder
Mix together and keep in dry place.

Sausages
3 C beef wheat meat
3 T. flour
3 eggs
2 tsp sausage mix
Fry in hot oil until brown. Can freeze cooked patties and use later.

Couldn't believe how this tasted soooo like sausage and neither could others!

A LITTLE ABOUT US

I'm Basak (Grandma). I'm married to a wonderful husband who spoils me and puts up with all my kitchen lab work and in my working to serve others. We have four wonderful children and they have blessed us with sixteen grandchildren. I always seem to be learning something new and I love it.

I met Gwenith a few years ago and she's become a very dear friend. We found we were kindred sisters in the preparedness world. We now live miles apart and yet, the kindred has never dwindled. When we talk, we find we always seem to be going down the same road in the thought process - a miracle in itself.


I'm Gwenith (Honeybee). I have a wonderful husband and two boys who are my jewels. I have known since serving a proselyting/welfare mission years ago that the Lord wanted me to be involved in the 'Provident Living' side of things.

The last several years have been an amazing learning adventure and I thank the Lord for allowing me to be an instrument in His hands in any way. Thank goodness I have a friend to share this adventure with -- Basak. Though Basak seems my peer, not my elder, I lean heavily on her wisdom, experience and most of all her strong spirituality. She is an example to me. My efforts to becoming closer to the Lord have benefited from watching her. Thank you, friend!
