Hmmmm....which do I regret more....
- having married the abusive X, listening to his BS, in spite of the warning signs?
- or having stayed with him for 7 disgusting yrs, listening to more of the BS before giving up?
The other...leaving corp america in 2000 (good), but DH & I not buying our...
I made the BB cake again yesterday. I added Black Walnuts this time. We topped it with yogurt. Delicious!
Here's a pic, back on page 2 of this post, from the first time I made it:

We grow creecy greens. They're a cress, but a land cress rather than water cress. They're very good....slightly peppery, but not as strong as mustard or turmip greens.
Best wishes with your stove.
We also use stove black (stove polish) on ours once per year. But it doesn't have a griddle serface like you described on yours.
We run a CSA too. So, I'm also interested in what makes you choose one over another.
We offer Full shares, Half shares and Meat shares. A Full share is about a 10 lb box each week with an ave weekly cost of $20. We include farm eggs each week. (They can be traded.) Other weekly treats vary...
Thank you so much, Free and Kev. The cookstove is one of our most endeared treasures.
In 1992, DH & I wanted a cookstove. My grandpap helped us find one in PA. (You see, if you ever wanted either a cookstove or a used vehicle....then you told my grandfather because he had a passion for both of...
We have a turn of the century cookstove. It heats the kitchen and adjacent bath, laundry and family rooms easily.
We cook on it regularly in Winter. Cast iron cookware is the best for it. We have a couple cast iron griddles in different sizes that I also like to use. Sometimes we do cook on it...

I hope you try it. DH & I really enjoy haing our own canned beans in the pantry.
Sam's club also has bulk yeast....2 (1 lb) packages for a little under $5.00
I keep a sourdough starter as well. And if you try some of the Artisan or No Knead bread recipes, most only call for 1/4 or 1/2 tsp yeast. They require a little planning though as most have a 12 - 18 hours rising time.
I haven't sewn seeds in egg shells, but I do transplant seedlings into them. The farmers market customers love it.
ETA: Oopss! Forgot the OP!
We have potatoes, onions, garlic, leaf lettuce, spinach, beets, arugula and kohlrabi seeds in the ground. I'll take some pics after they get sprouted...
We also sell at a nearby city farmers market and have lots a "green minded" customers.
I can see your clothespin bag being a hit. Definitely round out a product line by adding the laundry powder and soap, and the gift/starter set. I know other soap makers who do well at local markets....both...
