Is Your Family's Food Secure?   Feeding our families healthy food at a good price is always a parents concern. With the rising food and energy crises in the world prices are jumping sharply.
Hot Chocolate Our Canadian winters are long and cold.  A favorite treat during that time is our homemade hot chocolate.  Nothing taste better after coming in from shoveling the driveway sledding with the kids.  I’ve found this a much taster and cheaper alternative then buying little cans at the store.

They will be going on the roof, and we do get about 4ft of snow per year, but the snow only stays on the so side of the roof for a day or two befor it melts off. The other thing is they are warmer than the roof and black glass so the snow should melt off the panels faster. Right now to lose a day or 3 is not a huge setback because I am not depending on them for my main energy use, just a small suppliment.
