Mines not to hard. Debo is short for Deborah or Debbi which is my name and when I was much younger alot of my friends just call me Debo. 4702 is actually my paramedic number so since its a number I have to remember anyway its one that I use.

We have been drinking raw milk for about a month now. We love it! Will not be going back as long as our supply keeps in business. We also get raw milk butter from them as well and the difference is amazing. Also I'm lactose intolerant and I can drink raw milk without a problem. Congrats on the...

I'm doing simple tomato sauce and then canning up some left over chili from last night. Maybe I'll have enough sauce for the year....but probably not. Just gotta keep at at.

Okay I know I don't post much but I read in a magazine somewhere about a sort of chicken trap to figure out which girls were laying. If they lay in nesting boxes you make this kind of trap door over the entrance so when the hen goes in to lay her egg the door shuts behind her. The good thing is...

We have had and picked pecans for years and I have never found anything other than time to remove those nasty stains. We learned if it was green leave it. Sometimes srubbing with lava soap helps. Whatever you do don't get it on any good clothes. As far as spots on the trees if they are lacking...

I have a question. I know muscovy is the duck in question here but I have 17 beautiful Pekin ducks that we hatched out late this spring. I want to butcher the extra drakes...if I can figure out which ones they are. None have drake feathers yet. But all seem to be nice and heavy. The thing is I...

My Dh loves fried green tomatoes. The way I do them is cast iron skillet with oil. Enough to fry with...oil is your choice but we like peanut oil. Slice maters then dip in beaten eggs. I make a half and half mixture with flour and cornmeal. Coat egg dipped maters well. Then fry until golden...

I know what you mean. I bought some large bell type automatic waters a year ago and they just sat on the carport. Keep asking DH to hang them with a five gallon bucket but he kept putting it off. Then this spring we are rebuilding the pens due to flooding last year and I get him to finally put...

Mom scared me with the exploding canner stories too. Even gave me her canner b/c she was so scared of it. I sat and looked at for 3 years then when the power went out here for a week and oops no generator so we lost also everything in the freezers. I learned to can the next year. I still get...

Good Luck! Sending positive feelings your way!

I re canned 4 of those #10 cans of fruit cocktail so far I have 14 pints and 2 quarts. DH said well if nothing else they are pretty.Came out nicer than I thought. Also some tomatoes from the garden and now potatoes. Hope to finish up soon b/c the kitchen is hot and I still have to make dinner...

If I can...can You can...can too! :celebrate

Thanks that is what I was going to try so I hope it works. I have heard of dump cake and love it. Thanks for reminding me on that one. Okay made the watermelon jelly. It looks beautiful and tastes great...and I don't even like watermelon but it won't set. What did I do wrong? I followed the...

Okay I have a question. Ok maybe more than one but here goes. My BIL gave us 6 #10 cans of fruit cocktail in light syrup. Those cans are huge! I will never eat that much if I open it. Can I recan these in pint size jars for future use? Right now they are just sitting in my carport looking at...
