They are pronounced poonchkies. They are a soft round doughnut with no hole. I should know, my husbands aunt nicknamed my son that when he was born. He is now called "poonch" :D

I live in Wisconsin, and I dont heat my coop. I guess I figure it's survival of the fittest. It has been well below zero many nights. So far, they are all ok. They all look so big and beautiful with their extra feathers. I THINK they grow some extra feathers to keep themselves warmer. I do keep...

One thing I have thought about is working at a ski hill. I think the "kids" that work there would work AFTER school, and you could work during the school hours. Summer, obvioulsy the hill would be closed. The only snag would be the weekends. But maybe the kids could go with Dad on the weekends...

Do you refridgerate the jars then?

WOW.

I dont think one rod would be enough room for all the clothes. Maybe Im not picturing it right?

That is a huge savings every month then! I line dry clothes in the summer, but never really in the winter. My present goal is not to use the dryer for the month of Jan. I got some of the Zote soap (found it in Ill. by my inlaws) and made some homemade powdered detergent. I also read that you...

When I make the liquid, I let it cool and then go to town with the stick blender. Keeps it nice and smooth.:)

Bubblingbrooks I LOVE the cat in the picture!

However,my flimsey did make a good garlic drying rack this summer!

Yeah, no way I would be buying that! I would def try to make one. Yes, I know what you mean...a double decker! I think they have those on that website also. I know what you mean, my accordian one leans like The Leaning Tower of Pisa!

I have been drying clothes inside lately in front of my pellet stove. I was wondering if you'all could post some pictures or give me some ideas on a better way to do it. The drying rack I have now is one of those accordian ones. It is flimsey and I dont like it being in the way. I was think of...

How did I KNOW the No Carb Queen would comment? :lol: It's just what I do when we have spaghetti or tacos or something like that. Cripes, it's not easy to find stuff without soy it it these days...or corn!
