So, if I get the soap at the top (which I have), I could pour it all into a large pot on the stove and re-cook it? By the time it does this, I've already added all of the water I'm going to until it goes in the wash. So, it's a considerably larger volume than it was when I first made it. I've...

Beans and Rice is a really easy one-dish meal. Kidney beans, cut sausage, onions, spices, brought to a boil for 30 min then simmered until the beans are tender and the juice isn't watery, served over rice. Usually takes a few hours to cook but doesn't need any attention. You can sneak all sorts...

I have done that with onions too. Right now, I have sweet potatoes that have rooted and vined, pumpkins in the middle of the yard where they sat on top of a bail of hay for a fall decoration, a parsley plant that was almost 5 feet tall until I trimmed it back, I've seen the ends of romain...

I've been adding vinegar to the fabric softener thingy and I think that's helping. Also added some baking soda straight to the wash a few times and that helped. But- fo rthe white-whites, I did add some bleach to a load, it was socks and a t-stirt or two. I think too that it oculd be the...

Could be a silly question but why are the one person's posts all deleted an dreplaced with " * " ?? oh- and how often should one take this for a cold? every day for the duration? twice? three times a day?

Citylife, they claim to cough less and it clears their sinuses. I've been taking it regularly too and here's how things go down for me: wake up a little stuffy and feeling a little thick and heavy in the sinuses, I take about a tbsp of the fire cider, drink my coffee, and cough for a little...

Oh my. Even I wouldn't do that. Ok, maybe in the covered end of an enclosed run. There again, I wouldn't use rain barrells. Like you, I'd use 5 gallon buckets. ....Gives me a good idea though..... I still can't get over the price. That thing's worth at most $100-$150, installation included...

Bee, that's why I want to find the thread, wherever it is I saw it. I did find this tid-bit and it may help answer your question as well. For all I know, this is where I first saw it anyway.... http://simplemom.net/oil-cleansing-method/ Okay, so I re-read this and it says to just use castor...

Deb, thanks for the tread but I didn't see it in there. :)

I recently ran across a recipe for facial cleanser made with olive oil and tea tree oil. The only ones I'm finding on the net call for castor oil and olive oil. I could swear the one I read didn't involve castor oil, but as usual, I could be wrong. Was that on this site? I thought it was...

Dawn, I am interested in knowing what others have done with the leftovers too. I threw mine out, but now I wish I'd have kept them. I couldn't think of anything right off to do with them. I suppose I could've ground them down or put them in the food processor and made coctail sauce. It's not...

I stayed home today. That was my saving money. No burned gas and no spending. Oops, I remembered as I typed that I bought a <$10 cd online. Oh well. I did stay home though.

I think I'm just going to get the peppers like the recipe said :hide After reading more here, I have to wonder if the ground cayenne has retained any of the properties that make it usefull in the cider in the first place. I've noticed that I cough heavier for about 30 minutes after I've taken...

ORChick, thank you for your added knowledge. I guess you could say I'm writing from personal experience. Black pepper in a can isn't as potent as fresh ground; I guess that's a good example. I tollerate spice very well, so that is a factor too. I can see how a full tablespoon might be scary to...

Don't know if these uses were mentioned or not but after receiving a bunch of huge lemons recently I used the rinds in some vinegar and froze the juice in trays. I then put the cubes in a baggie in the freezer. I use them to cook with for whatever calls for lemon or whatever I want to put it in...
