Ok, so anyone hear of Amish friendship bread??? is this considered a sourdough starter?? you get the starter and then mush the bag for 5 days, then "feed" it milk sugar and flour and then mush the bag again for 3 more days, then you are suppose to add more ingredients, seperate out the starter...

Update...... So i am reallly indecisive, but i finally made a decision on what to buy. I ended up getting an awesome deal on my Cuisinart food processor, so i bought that. Then i got a the Hurricane Wheatgrass Juicer. that originally wasnt on my list, but after researching wheatgrass, etc, I...

So im not sure what happened, but my kefir grains have like started to Dissolve??? I had put them in a jar of milk, and when i went to take them out they were breaking apart and instead of 3 or 4 large clumps of them, there was only 2.... not sure where the others went??? There are some...

well, you can buy it online or you can grow it. Im just going to grow it. Seems relativelly easy to grow and juice. I think you need to grow a fair amount if you want a few ounces a day to drink. I figure if i grow it it will be funner for my son, he can help me with the process and then he...

has anyone juiced wheatgrass before??? . I am debating on ordering a wheatgrass juicer and growing my own in my window sil. My local Organic farm store has excellent spring and winter and red wheatberries that i think would work wonderful for planting. I know ive heard the stuff tastes like...

Well, for now i think i will just buy my food processor. That is a forsure. Then i think i might get some garden tools with the rest or save it until spring/summer and see what i need for the garden. I was thinking of making raised beds for my garden this year so taht will take some money for...

I am thinking of buying some garden tools with some left over xmas money from a bonus. Is there any brand that you would suggest?? or a tool that you love and cant live without?? I was looking at Hoss garden tools, they look interesting. I need a garden fork forsure. Any suggestions?? Thanks

Now im curious, what would your list be??? And i DO have kitchenAid mixer. I dont use it all that often beause i hardly remember i have it. Its not in the kitchen because i have NO space in my tiny kitchen, so its hard to remember to use it. out of sight... out of mind. But when i DO use it, i...

so i unexpectedly got a christmas bonus this year. It was $500 CASH. I was really happy. Ive been putting off buying some equipment because i dont want to spend the money, but now that i have "free" money so to speak i was looking on Amazon and there are super great deals now that its xmas time...

Well, ill have to have my son and hubby go out there in the middle of the night cuz we still live in town and the compost pile is surrounded by neighbors.... noisy neighbors too!!! But im sure my 10 yr old would think its pretty cool that im letting him pee outside

Good tips everyone. My pile is NOT very big at all. I think you are right about not having enough mass to get it going. The grass is actually green around here yet (which is amazing for December 20th. Usually under 10' of snow already!!!) I think I will try and get some green grass cut and...

Question about the grains.... I dont use a whole lot of Kefir, maybe 2 quarts a week or 3. So, i make the kefir, and then strain them out of my raw milk and then throw them in a canning jar and put them in the fridge until next week when i need them again. Is that OK?? Ive had mine maybe 2...

Sauerkraut is looking good!!! I think i need to wait another day or two before opening it up. I looks like its working so far. Im excited to try it. Now to get my 10yr old son to try it will be fun. I wonder if i can put it in a smoothie without the taste showing thru?? thats my trick for...

My "plan" is just to keep the garden alive this year!!! :P This past summer I felt so bad because i neglected my garden for like a month pretty early on and my tomatoes never recovered. Which really stinks because i love love love canning tomatoe juice and salsa and spaghetti sauce. So.... i...

I was thinking that the extra long straw and composted manure i put in there would help.... but it hasnt. I guess maybe ill try just taking a big ol pile of cow crap and throwing it in there and seeing if that gets the bacteria rolling.

So, i guess i feel like kinda a moron since i cant even get stuff to Rot!!! I started my compost pile and wanted to do a fast HOT pile to get started and it just isnt heating. I have leaves, green grass, a few small garden stalks, food garbage, long straw, and some composted manure (which...

Agreed!!!! :D

That is WHY im making it. I KNOW what's in it. He doesnt use chapstick so why does he even care if i make chapstick??

This is exactly what i was going to post on here today.... Guess all great minds think alike: :D Anyways, DH and i both grew up on farms in WI. Except we grew up very different. Although him and his brother did TONS of work on the farm they also go paid to do the work and got lots of toys...
