Farmer Denise, I was reading an old thread on vinegar and found this from you: Here's a recipe I found on line that sounds good to me. http://www.ehow.com/how_4737335_homemad negar.html I decided to use this recipe - sort of. I received a box of beat up apples yesterday. So I washed...

I've noticed there don't seem to be many lazy women on this forum and you are proving that point! sounds like a lots going on - hope you get some time to yourself today in between all the canning and everything. think I'll put on the dixie chicks and start chores.

firem3, where in the heck are you? that heat sounds just horrid. do you think it is part of global warming? up here they are having a big planning session with the local, city and state gov planning folks to start considering how to adapt to the changes. Some surprising ones to me, like...

woodwzrd, I just saw a really beautiful painting on a saw blade for those long two person saws? It had a verse on it, and it hung over the double doors to the house. sounds like you and your wife are talented and skilled! lol, that's why I have to stick with jams and such!

that's amzaing that you and your sweetie have 30 years with each other. Have fun choosing the tatoo design. and good score on the latch and hinges. Did you come home with anything else?

No frost! In fact, clouds moved in and it is a warm and sultry 42 degrees this am. dang. I would have left that basil til the traditional pesto making day - which involves lots of food processors, pine nuts everywhere, garlic from the garden, and teeny tiny canning jars, plus GOOD olive oil...

with the frost warnings, i hurried and did a last minute harvest. I have a bushel basket of basil in the sink, more in the frig, and harvested veggies all over the place. also have grasshoppers, spiders, and caterpillars that came in with the basil - I think it is so cold outside the...

good news. I am not so sure that less antibiotic use necessarily will mean costs go up - didn't happen in Europe when they banned antibiotics in the poultry farms (course, Europeans dont' have to consider the "rights" of corporations, so they tend to make decisions in favor of the consumers...

I love that you are planning for the kids to make gifts - I started that with my daughter when she was two (first gift she made? cotton balls rolled in kitchen spices, tied in a calico square with yarn - supposed to be kitchen drawer sachets :rolleyes:) she progressed over the years to...

who knew I would be so weepy over her? I am usually quite stoic, but am quite the opposite now. thanks for the support, it feels good. Ginger, my other cat, is just unconsolable - she keeps walking around the house meowing with a really loud voice. isn't quiet for more than a few minutes...

i am so sad. had to put my 20 year old cat down today, she's been with me for 17 years. I thought I was prepared for this, but I am not. It was a good decision, and her passing was very peaceful, but I miss her so much already. Partly because she has been ill enough to require a lot of...

ahhhh, I just want to warn you - if you don't separate him out, it would be likely that you will return to a very injured or worse hen. am thinking your pet sitter won't be there enough to supervise. it can get out of hand pretty fast, and get pretty ugly. I'm afraid your choice is to...

yeah, I'ld just say if you or a family member is in the hospital, you can pretty much count on needing to have someone with you 24/7 if you aren't ambulatory, or if you are medicated enough to need someone to look out for you. Nurses do a great job, problem is they have SO MANY patients, they...

yep, i think you had better either separate them or cull the rooster. Your pen is small, but perhaps you could use a dog kennel and some chicken wire to make a small corner for the rooster while you are gone - that would give you some time to think about what to do. And I think Shiloh is...

Hi Blackbird! hey, it is really easy to get a tax number in MN. Just go online to mn dept of revenue - the forms will be there. Then you just fill out a form, also online, once a quarter to report. it is pretty easy, and it might be worth it to you to get wholesale costs for some of your...

(stumbling out of the truck) whoeee, OFG, you drive like a crazy woman! That was some fun, and thanks for the hospitality. heading off for work now, and I'm just gonna pretend I went to bed last night and slept some. dang, didn't know the bourbon could hit that hard. Dace, I'll be over to...

nah, skip the oil. just whisk the eggs ( took two for a large eggplant), skin the eggplant, dip in egg, roll in crumbs, plop on the cookie sheet. don't grease the sheet, the crumbs keep it from sticking - i had coarse ground crumbs. if you used store crumbs that were like powder, I might...

OFG, yup, I'm coming over and I call shotgun. Dace, hope you got ice cream to go with that pie. me, I might need a shot of bourbon. now, OFG, what you are describing "ever called me names or sent me to sit quietly in a corner? do you think he's even ONCE told me to shut up? ever? or that my...

blackbird, just when I am stammering around trying to figure out how to say what I want without being a total jerk, you come around and say it so beautifully. OFG, being who and what I am, I am probably a little extra sensitive to the idea a man or a woman has to conform to some particular...

I just had left over eggplant parm, yummy. the only thing that didn't come from my garden was the cheese and the breadcrumbs. oh, ok, the salt and pepper didn't either :) tried a new way for me - rolled the eggplant slices in egg, rolled in breadcrumbs seasoned, and then baked the slices on a...
