Thanks guys for all your replies and sympathy. I feel better just knowing people understand. I do love my place here in TN and looking forward to a grand garden season. It is a great relief to go to bed and not worry about carrying bills for both places, and pipes bursting when the furnace goes...

It's a new day. I am still a little upset. I have yet to pay the $4,500 to the realtor and bank but I have put that much into it in the past 2 years. We did get a good price on our house in TN so I am trying to look at that perspective. It is hard to be cheery when that money could be so...

Thanks for the instant feed back. I know I am luckier than many but this really hurt.

Help me feel better guys. Husband got transferred and bought a house in TN with lots of 401K cashout. Put my house up north for sale for two years ago at $49,00 and sold it today for 16,00, I have to pay out $4,500 to get rid of it. I am depressed. Toast with me as I am drinking my home made...

I don't skim, I love my fat. Usually have to wash the jar down so some must escape but all have sealed correctly.

A guy I worked in the kitchen with gave me his mom's recipe for green bean hummus. I am not a chick pea fan so I loved this. 2 LB green beans, steamed, 1/2 cup walnuts, 4 hardboiled eggs, 1 1/2 cups sliced onions, 1/4 c. oil, salt and pepper. Saute the onion in oil, let...

I bought myself a Miracle Flour Mill for Christmas and I love it. Just used it to grind some dent corn I grew for the chickens because they just picked it up and spit it out. Not anymore, I mixed it with cooked pintos and they scarfed it up. It worked so well I am ordering flour corn for us to...

Feeling your pain. Have 2 loose now and dreading going in cause ya can bet your booty the whole top teeth will have to go. Don't, don't don't want dentures but need to be able to chew. Haven't even priced it yet, too scared. Feel your pain.

Making my first batch of laundry soap today. Went through my freezers and canning cabinet and made a list of 50 plus meals I can make with minimal store purchases. Wow! Stayed home from a one day meat sale, withdrawal pains, but freezers are full. I hate to miss a good sale. Cut up 3 whole...

Switched my savings account to a checking account that pays 4% interest if you do all these requirements, made $50.00 in interest last month. That hasn't happened in a long time! Also went through the woe of redoing insurance policies( I hate that) but new price was over a $150 less. Got rid of...

Calling all cooks. Need savory side dishes or main dish casserole recipes. No restrictions except not sweet. Help me out, I am out of ideas.

I would like the kimchi with regular cabbage recipe. DH is a kimchi freak and I will have a few more cabbage to harvest this year.

6 pints of Christmas limas going right now. Harvested 30 lb of sweet potatoes a week ago. Usually cook and freeze but freezers are stuffed, anybody can them? I don't want them sweetened.

I too have been selling pickled eggs. I looked at Carla Emory's recipe but my husband said my batch had rubbery whites. So now I use a recipe with beets and cool the brine and sell as a refrigerated product. I only sell to my husband's work buddies, but $6.50 a jar beats the **** out of $1.50 a...

Seems like such a waste to just compost them. Is there any way to use them. Chicken feed if cooked?

Thanks for all the info and prices. I am not really looking for a pick up load at this time. I feed the wheat berries to the hens now and it does look clean and no mold or bugs. I thought rye was the source for ergot? I am pretty new to the area so don't really know many farmers. Any body else...

Any body got a good reason I shouldn't buy 50 lbs and use it to grind for flour? I just spent $199 on a grain mill. Spent a ton of time researching for the model that could do coarse and fine, did not have to clamp to something and was electric as I have carpal tunnel. Any thoughts on using such...

I know some of you grind your own grain. I am looking for a grain mill (not very pricey) that can crack dent corn for chicken food but also produce a great corn meal. I have been to site after site but it seems that unless super expensive none can do both. Any ideas or products you recommend...

Great ideas and never thought to freeze them boiled for later mashed. Made the soup with chicken broth and onion, added a little bacon and skim milk and a package of beet greens from the freezer. Will top it with some cheddar. Wish I had heavy cream and Velveeta. Would like that recipe for ham...

Found a good sale and though my intentions were good I did not do what I needed to. Soo I am looking for an awesome potato soup recipe that could be frozen in portion sizes. I have made the ones in my recipes and have not been thrilled with any of them.
