  • Good point about frozen veggies. It’s also easier to portion out what you need compared to the binary state of a can of food.

    When it comes to prepping, cans should be reserved for calorie and nutrient dense ingredients that benefit from canning anyways, like canned meats, condensed milk, sardines and shellfish, or ingredients that primarily come in canned form like diced or pureed tomatoes. Like frozen food they’re canned at peak freshness compared to store bought produce which has to be picked early to ripen in transit.

    The biggest risk right now is food prices are going up due to inflation (plus corporate greed and food cartels like the meat cartel), but will soon be going up due to a lack of fertillizer globally due to the strait of Hormuz. Next year is going to be worse by far. With a lack of oil you might get rolling blackouts so be careful to not get too much frozen food…

    A deep freezer can help though. You can freeze bags of water inside the deep freeze and as long as you don’t open it during a blackout it can last for a day or two (depending on how much water you freeze in there) to keep your stuff from going bad.


  • I’ve been meal prepping more and getting into tinned fish.

    Sardines are nature’s protein bars and are full of healthy fat and cholesterol. Lots of vitamins too plus calcium from their bones, plus they taste good! I quite like smoked sprats or just Deenz in olive oil or tomato sauce.

    They also work well as an ingredient. I haven’t tried this recipe yet but it looks fantastic!

    I would get dried beans and rice and make that a staple. You can soak the beans overnight, rinse them, and then boil them for 10 minutes with salt and freeze them. Then when you need beans you take a bag out (I freeze mine in flat sheets. Same with soups stews and home made stocks) and either simmer them for 3 hours or you pressure cook them for 20-60 mins (depending on what type of bean)

    Mexican and Brazilian recipes use a lot of rice and beans so you can use those as a reference on what to make and which seasonings to use.

    $/kcal it’s hard to beat those two.




  • It probably is for all of us. I can understand the first order effects of a 20% shortage for the world, and missing ⅓ of it’s fertillizer. The nth order effects I have no idea.

    I’ve been buying more canned food, multiple bags of rice and different beans. Where I live 99% of our grid comes from hydro power so I’m not worried about blackouts. I’m buying stuff I normally eat anyways (sprats and sardines. Tuna/salmon snacks. Canned soups) and stockpiling since prices keep going up…

    I keep hearing end of July, early August, but the very latest by September will be when the full shock hits in its entirety.


  • FYI you should switch to morphe instead of revanced. All of the maintainers left revanced after a falling out with OsumAtriX (or however you capitalize it) who was apparently toxic and impossible to work with.

    Morphe is updated daily and is lightyears ahead of revanced. Revanced has been copying code wholesale without attribution from morphe (including typos. No attribution is a GPL violation) so morphe DMCA’d revanced (which might get both projects killed… Not wise IMO but they did it…)

    Anyways, morphe is the bees knees and revanced is basically abandonware at this point due to lack of maintainers. Osum is so toxic people who want to help can’t stand him and just go to morphe.
