“No, that’s not what I was talking about but thanks for reminding me that you have one of those, we have uses for that lamp later on seasoning or preserving food that we haven’t considered. Hey Annie I have one those kinds of lamps back home in Alabama. The one I have though looks like a whole rock sphere carved out of one crystal. I got it for a gift from my lady one Xmas. They do make a difference in freshening up the air in a house.” Hogan said remembering the planter shape holder of the warm reddish globe he had stared at many times before turning it off to go to sleep because it was deceptively bright in a darkened room.

“Well, that’s about the only thing I can think of that resembled what I thought you were talking about.” Annie said waiting for him to explain further.

“The one thing I think we should consider as the most important ingredient in my opinion to include when preserving meats by curing is sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrate by the way can be found in all kinds of leafy green vegetables and can be added to your salt mixture in the form of celery juice, ground spinach or pink salt. What I mean by that, is a kind of pink curing salt labeled #1, which contains a 7 percent sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrate is useful for warding off the development of one of the worst kinds of bacteria found in food — botulism. Sodium nitrate will also make your cured meats turn a nice shade of bright reddish-pink. That is more appetizing to the eye which means a better taste to the tongue and looks fresher if you know what I mean. One thing to be mindful of, however, is that high levels of nitrates (like most anything) are toxic and you need to be careful about the amount that you are adding to your curing mixture. That special curing salt I have is a commercial preparation and has the directions and proper measurements on the label, so no worries. The stuff is reasonable and all the salt companies like Morton’s etc. produce it.” Hogan explained.

“Well that certainly sounds like we will get some good results by using it; I wish I had thought to have prepped some. So Hogan, are you pretty much proposing that we campout and practice our skills until it’s time to leave from here and go to your house then?” Annie asked wondering what it was they were going to be doing while mankind was supposedly going to be going through some of its craziest times ahead.

“Yea, that’s the general idea; we just hang loose and lay low. If we get ourselves located downriver and setup camp and start hunting early, we will have a chance to build up our supplies and avoid the BS around the apartment complex. Real soon I think things will start to unravel around here and if we ain’t here we don’t have to get involved in none of it.
