52 Weeks, Week 25

 

52 Weeks to Family Preparedness for Two

Week 25

The greatest events that have been spoken of by all the Holy Prophets will come along so naturally as the consequences of certain causes, that unless our eyes are enlightened by the Spirit of God, and the spirit of revelation rests upon us, we will fail to see that these are the events predicted by the Holy Prophets. George Q. Cannon.

Food Storage and Preparedness Challenge Of The Week:

Food Storage Purchase 8 Cans of Tomato Sauce.

Extra Item Purchase 8 Rolls of Toilet Paper

Family Gear Box This is a large container that holds heaver more specialized items that will make life easier in an emergency. These items are more suited for a mandatory evacuation. This week find the container (trashcan with wheels?)

Family Preparation Swimming is a great exercise for the whole family. If you don't swim then maybe you can take

lessons. Take time and run through the sprinkler. What ever you decide to do have fun and enjoy the kids or grandkids.

Spiritual Preparedness Think of one trait you admired about President Monson. Consider how you might incorporate that quality in your own life.

CARAMEL-RAISIN PUDDING

¾ c. seedless raisins 3 cups boiling water

½ c. brown sugar 1 c. brown sugar

½ c. milk 1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 c. enriched flour 2 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon butter or margarine

Soak raisins 5 minutes; drain. Combine sugar and milk; add dry

ingredients, raisins, and 2 teaspoons butter. Combine remaining ingredients; heat boiling; and cook for 5 minutes. Pour into greased 8x 12-inch baking pan and drop batter from spoon over hot sauce. Bake (350º) 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Tip: This is something like a cake in a caramel sauce. It is very good – kids will like it. It is best right out of the oven. If you prefer, it can be made without raisins, or use dates or chopped apple instead. Boil the sugar mixture while soaking raisins, greasing the pan and preparing ingredients. Don't mix batter until about 1 minute of boiling time is left or the baking powder will start working, leaving the batter flat in the pan. For extra cake increase batter by ½ .
