I second the runny jam! I call them lazy smoothies :) I still use keifer. My daughter and I drink it in smoothies or I use it in place of yogurt for homemade popsicles. It also makes a good dressing when strained through a coffee filter and mixed with herbs and such. We usually go through a...

I had some friends who had a huge stash of kool-aid that they had purchased for cheap after the kool-aid causing death in lab rats scare. They were still drinking those old kool-aid packets in the late nineties. So, yeah I guess they last a long time.

Thank you! Yes that is very helpful.

Does anyone know of any heirloom red bean varieties? I looked in bakercreek catelog and e & r and neither offered any. I would like to plant some as we eat a lot of red beans and rice and baked beans. Any info would be great, thank you!

That is great isn't it?! I love being able to feed people I love too. I love that you are a family full of readers. I hope that I can raise my daughter to love books too. I love that you are able to teach your children both spanish and english. I would love to learn a second language.

I don't homeschool. But, I do follow these woman's other blog. They just started a new blog devoted to homeschooling. I thought there were a lot of cool ideas in it. So I thought I would share. http://www.littleschoolhouseinthesuburbs.com/

Wow! That sounds strange but, hey, I'll try anything to avoid a sore throat.

:lol: Win-win The past few years we have celebrated Wigilia My husband and his family are 100% polish. It starts at 4:30 about the time it starts to get dark here. And we wait for the first star. We break the opoitek, which is much like a communion wafer. Everyone gets a piece. We go around...

Same here. I'm tired but, I'm afraid I had to much coffee today. Not a good thing.

If it is just there for sleep inducing properties I bet it would still work without it. Maybe its like a Dayquil vs. Nyquil kind of thing. Give it a shot (pun intended) see what happens. Besides a nice warm bath is usually enough to put me out.

Woke up this morning feeling fine. I'm so excited that this worked. I used comb honey too. Although I have never heard of whipped comb honey that sounds like it would have a wonderful texture. Is it literally just whipped or do they do something else to it? I might try whipping my own if that...

My MIL gave me a book called "The Herb Book". It is fairly old and she just had it lying around so she let me keep it. I found this tip when you are getting "that tickle in your throat " or " I might be getting a cold feeling." Before bed take a nice hot relaxing bath. Then before you lie down...

Ours is artificial. It came with the house :lol:

Awesome quilt! what a clever idea.

My husband is the same way. I think your right, they are just use to the store bought stuff. I have yet to find a recipe that duplicates "bread" in a bag :) Although I am use to it now and I actually prefer it. Since the recipe makes two loaves sometimes we will eat one fresh. Then I let the...
