Gordon,
Thanks for starting the Shroom talk.
Looked at buying a business years ago. It was a Mushroom business. What they did was... took orders from restaurants and smaller supermarkets... then early the following morning they would drive to the City's Major fruit/Veg Market - where all the independent fruit'os go as well as other business to buy their produce. Buy what their customers' had ordered the night before and then deliver it.
And while on Mushies... don't forget Truffles (not the candy, the underground variety - http://www.natruffling.org/faq.htm). And if you have the know-how, you could offer Truffle Dog Training or be a Truffle Dog Broker. Or just go find them yourself and sell them for as much as $1,500 a pound http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/truffle.html?page=2
Onward.
Hands up how many of us had fruit trees in the backyard?
Rossy raises his hand.
We had... blackberries, passion fruit, lemon, mandarins, oranges, apples, strawberries. And my grandparents had those as well as tomatoes and grapes.
Everyone should at Least have a lemon tree.
And for Currency - if - things get That Bad... books could have something to offer - how-to as well as Fiction so people can still Escape reality. And packets of seeds, tea, coffee, salt & sugar. Rice. maybe even some dehydrated water (just add water HA!).
You'll keep a lighter or two around and some matches as well, right? And a small knife? You know. Scout's motto... dib dib dib dob dob dob... just kidding... BE PREPARED.
Hey, Gordon. Maybe some One Pot Cooking recipes. or recipes for cooking in a Stanley (I'll tell you, any spices added to food you cook in a Stanley are extra enhanced in the Stanley - I presume due to the heat, pressure and time (just be careful with potatoes... they turn to Mashed Potatoes and are hard to get out. Be Pea & Ham soup is... extra delicious.
