I wanted to thank everyone for the advice. We froze the onions whole and on the cabbage we peeled the outer layers, quartered them up and froze them in freezer bags to use for soup when the weather turns colder. There were about 20 semi frozen limes as well and we juiced those for freezing in...
We let a local congregation use our large refrigerated delivery truck for a youth group camp - they keep all their food in it during the camp instead of in a gazillion ice chests. In return they give us all the leftover food - I really think we come out on the better end of the bargain - it...
I've been making kefir for a while now. It never gets very thick - I wish it would - but it tastes fine, so I try to be content with it.
My last batch sat a little longer - about 36 hours instead of 24. It actually separated - but didn't smell overfermented - still smelt like kefir. When I...
Beekissed - can you share a link to that or let me know what the thread was titled - I searched meat bird and your name but I didn't come up with it - or maybe I did and overlooked it, would you mind sharing?
Thanks!
Oh, I forgot to mention: I tried all sorts of natural shampoos, medicated shampoos, every dandruff, psoriasis, seborheac dermatitis shampoo on the market. I tried baking soda washes with ACV rinses. I tries shampoo bars. I tried not washing with any kind of soap or shampoo. I tried adding...
ORChick - I had the exact thing happen to me. It still occasionally occurs, but it's far more manageable now.
Mine came on after each of my pregnancies. Starting as mild dandruff, progressing to scaley patches that were exactly like cradle cap (that would weep if I picked at it), and then to...
I don't have much to add except for a possible suggestion.
I have a glass top stove too - it's the type that I'm not supposed to can on (I know some glass tops are able to be canned on, mine is not one of them). I borrowed a three burner propane stove and canned jam outside last year - it was...
I've heard of occasional issues with the KA. So I bought a Bosch universal. I wanted it specifically for making bread. It mixes 6 loaves at a time like it were muffin batter. Love that thing!
It's great the KA is working well for you - what a great find!
Looks like the same milk machine we used at the dairy where I bought my does from but they had a couple extra suction-y thingies (four total). Clean up was similar but we did it in the dairy kitchen in a sink instead of buckets - and they used hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach.
Although...
I've not grown it or even made anything with the herb but we keep homepathic arnica tablets on hand at all times in our first aid kids. I have watched it take swelling and bruising away in minutes - literally. It's amazing stuff. I also keep arnica ointment for topical use on bruising as...
I used fenugreek seed for myself when I was nursing my babies - so I toss in a little in each feeding for my does. I don't really measure it, likely 2-3 teaspoons each time. Fenugreek is a known golactalogue (I'm pretty certain I made a mess of that spelling). It certainly won't hurt her and...
I am so very sorry for your loss. We lost our 13 year old Sheltie a couple weeks ago. We were prepared, and she was ready - but it was hard on us just the same.
Many hugs sent your way :hugs :hugs :hugs
I have cheap muck boots that I wear for winter use and for the dirty jobs and for regular milking/feeding chores I use Crocs. They rinse/wash off easily and I can leave them outside on the porch without worrying about weather ruining them. I do need to find a pair without the holes though, I'm...
I have seven kiddos and have always homeschooled them - but even when you start rght from the beginning at home it can be scarey at first. First thing you've gotta remember is don't freak out! Let your kids take the whole summer off and while their enjoying being kiddos read lots of...
