Glad to hear that is isn't as "rustic" as you first thought. As with any old house, I'm sure you'll find things once you move in that you didn't realize would be issues. Just out of curiosity, how is the place heated? Just wanted to give a nice hearty welcome to the north-east woods, from...

(As per the DH) Without more info it's hard to say. I don't know if you listed things like fuse sizes or wire gauge, voltage drop, etc earlier in the thread. But hot and bright shouldn't be a problem for solar panels. (Bright and cool increase output generally.) The wire and fusing should be...

Has this been resolved yet? According to my husband, there are several things that could be happening. 1. This an AC fault, not a ground fault. 2. If you have a fuse disconnect between the inverter and the electrical panel box, those fuses may be blown and/or the breaker may be popped. 3...

Glad it was amusing. :D I think it's fine to exfoliate, but reading the comments on that one site... Lets just say that it seemed like some folks were a bit to vigorous with the brush.

Wow. I did se googling too, and saw some pretty horrendous photos of some people who it that stuff (or a version of black salve) on their noses and... Wow. Don't know if I'd put that stuff on my face.

This from the lehmans website re:union salve... Overview Made by a small family company here in Ohio, it's an old-time remedy that rural folk have trusted for years. In fact, Amish families across the country keep some in the cabinet. Helps soothe and heal minor burns, sunburns, skin...

Yes I know, but the OP mentioned further testing. Since many gluten free products are also wheat free, the diets and substitutions can be quite similar.

Not sure about flours, but Bobs red mill has some decent mixes. You can also buy premixed flours for pancakes, bread, etc. Bobs Red Mill brownie mix tastes really good. Those mixes can be really expensive, though. Once you figure out which flavor is tolerable, you could probably mix your...

Thanks for the feedback, I can't wait to try it! :)

Hello there! I have been making loads of jams and jellies for Christmas baskets, and I noticed a bag of cranberries hiding in the back of the fridge left over from thanksgiving. I would love to make a cranberry orange marmalade. I would like to make a low sugar variety, for several reasons...

Also- funny about the green eggs. I had someone ask me if that meant that the hen "cooked it too long" before she laid it. I dropped off a dozen eggs ( the first dozen after my Easter eggers started laying) at my Uncle's when no one was home. The next week I dropped off another dozen, and...

I make lovely Rye bricks. If you try the suggestions and it works to lighten the loaves up, let me know. :)

I'd love to, but the shipping costs would kill me! As it is, I had to make more mixed berry jam, my kid eats it like its going out of style. So does DH, now that I think of it. I love that the low sugar stuff was easy. :D How is everyone?

It's been a while! I will try to pick up where I left off. Garden actually carried on well through the end of September. Got green beans, lots of lettuce, and peas for my second crop. Second round of peas were a bit starchy. Already planning my garden for next year. My son wants to grow...

Fantastic! Well done.:thumbsup
