Sundried Tomato Keto Buns is a recipe I created around two years ago, and it turned out fantastic. I remember making a crockpot of stew and wanting a bun slathered in butter, but we didn’t have any.

When you think of making something out of silicone, you usually think of using a mold and injecting it with the material. Can you 3D print it?

Both during but especially after a SHTF scenario, paper copies of essential marriage, custody, ownership, and health records preserved digitally may not be accessible (temporarily or ever again) depending upon the nature of the disaster. For far too long preppers have neglected or at least slighted the concept of keeping important documents both protected and always readily at hand. Would you be able to prove your child actually belongs to you if he or she was at school...
