During these unprecedented times we need to be prepared more than ever!  Weather it be economical, natural or manmade situations we can not be caught off guard. This is not in anyway a detailed survival podcast. There are many out there that you can listen to or follow on YouTube. This is a quick podcast on what can be done at home in the event you can not leave your home to seek alternate safety. 

With the situation developing in the Ukraine it is likely that this could come to the shores of the United States. For those of you with your heads in the sand thinking this is not possible you need a reality check. 

START PREPARING NOW if you have not done so already. We are already seeing food shortages and gas price increases. inflation is out of control and only getting worse! The cost of food has risen over 40% in the last 6 months!

My two favorite Cuisines are French and Italian. Toss in Mexican and Asian and you have completed my list. Let's take a stroll through NYC and see what it has to offer in the way of French Food! This is a list of only 19, There are many many more and I would have been here forever if I tried to cover them all. There is no particular order tot them. If you happen to be in the NYC area and are looking for a place to eat, I hope you consider this list. The numbers to each Establishment are included for you to reach out to them and make your dining arrangements. Thank you for following me here at the Blue Plate Special and I will continue to bring you content each week... Bon appetite! 

PREPARE NOW! Don't wait until a disaster strikes. Be prepared today. Do you really want to be in the grocery store with hundreds of others who have no food fighting over the last few cans of beans? Emergency situations will cause enough stress on you already, trying to figure out how and where to get food to feed your family is not one of those added pressures that you need. Start stocking up NOW. 

Lets take a brief look into what some consider true Italian but is actually Italian - American. This may actually surprise you. 

Join me as we take a more in depth look into foraging. I decided that this may be a bit longer than anticipated. PLEASE I can not stress this enough. PLEASE USE EXTREME SAFETY WHEN FORAGING! Always check and recheck, and if you're still not 100% sure leave it until you know you are safe to consume any wild plan or animal.

This is going to be a three week episode starting with a basic brief intro to foraging. Over the next couple of weeks we will dive deeper into it ending with coastal foraging.
