Beekissed, if I could give you 3 reasons, would that help? 1 ~ Alleviates boredom. Sometimes you're the only one around, or it's late, or you are just finished with other things. 2 ~ Helps clear the mind, and let's you "re-set." This one I use it for. I work, and work, mostly on the computer...

Saved. Fishing?

Understanding husband helped me water.

Herring.

ParsonsWife, it's so good to see you here! :coolsun

Hmmmm, I was going to wash my hair this afternoon when it got hot (Double duty: clean hair, and cools you off! Plus, it dries faster!). why don't I just use this? Let's see....eggs, check! Olive oil, check! Lemon juice, check! Apple cider vinegar...uh, oh, I may be out. I wonder if rice vinegar...

Excellent recipes, thank you! :)

Hi, Parsonswife! :frow Chcknrs, I don't use pickle juice to make my pickled beets, I use a very simple mix of vinegar, water, sugar, and bay leaf, and now often add a couple of pea sized pieces of dried ginger (not candied) and a couple of cloves. However, I have put eggs in the liquid when we...

But remember, the plastic breaks down out in the sun like that, and makes a terrible mess. I think metal cans....sans lead...would be a better option. And metal can have a beneficial effect on the plants, as a bonus. :)

Hi, FarmerChick! Yes, I've used vinegar, and like it, though I have more often rinsed with lemon water. I use a large tumbler with some juice in it, then at the time to rinse I add water to it, and finish my hair with it. Thanks for taking up the challenge! :) Hey there, AmyQuilt! Yes, it...

And boy is it ever! Here is the background: I make my own products all the time, but this just has me stumped. I moved from commercial shampoos to natural shampoos a very long time ago. Then, due to some health issues, and formula changes, I had to go from natural shampoos, to homemade ones...

Thanks so much for the recipes! I make a lot of my own things anyway, and some of these sound really good! :)
