Hehe.. after checking out the chicken fountain over in the do it yourself thread I decided to check them out on amazon and put some on my wish list.. well the price dropped $2 last week and I ordered them! I ended up buying 10 for $11.98 and a whole week before they were due to arrive they did...
On the vertical gardening thread the OP asked what different things are people trying this year and I thought it was a good enuf question to merit it's own thread. They don't have to be exotic just something that you have decided to try and is completely different than what you normally do...
On another thread recently I accidentally hijacked it by my curiosity of a naturally growing native plant that has caffeine called yapon holly.
While on a google foo jaunt I ran across a website/blog that offered to send me three samples to try and review(and if I like them I hope they sell it)...
Just a question here.. I have gone out to a very decent Japanese/Korean/Chinese buffet each weekend for the last two weekends and had all kinds of goodies but best of all the Miso/seaweed/tofu soup and you get to add as much seaweed as you like and I must say the first day I added two teaspoons...
I have a question for the kitchenaid mixer owners.. I have noticed what everyone one else has that I do a ton of stopping/scraping down/starting again when mixing and want to pick up one of the rubber edged mixing blades for it.. there are basically two types.. the sideswipe and the...

Can anyone tell me the best speed to have the machine on? :hu it is a pro600 in case that is important.
Thanks for any help or helpful hints in advance..
I have a nice jar with orange blossom honey with a huge hunk of comb in it. I have been wanting to make my own lip balm for awhile now and just also got a great jar of good coconut oil.. Question is.. I know I can drain off most of the liquid honey and let it drip for a day or so but I am...
Okay I'm on the last batch of jars to go in the canner(tomato sauce) and of course the jars are all different sizes and one naughty jar is above the water by about 1/8 of an inch.:barnie. is it going to hurt the batch too much to wait in the hot water while I heat up more water to pour in? I...
I was under the impression that while I can leave only about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of head room in water bath canning I should leave a good 1 inch head room (if not a tad bit more) when pressure canning. Some one told me that no, you don't need that much room.
