You are very welcome! Now that we have lots of snow on the ground and temps below 0, I'm wishing for mosquito weather. :hide

I've made lots and lots of orange marmalade and never used cheese cloth. What does the recipe want you to do with it? Over time we have switched from cutting the whole oranges in to small slivers to an easier less messy method. We peel the fruits and run the pulp through the kitchenaide...

You might try calling a company that replaces windows and sliding glass doors to see if they have any old windows and doors that are going to the trash. They may just give you what you want.

I have a Marga Molino that I like, but I wish it was electric.

Will tinted glass let the right amount of light in?

:welcome I got some guineas for my folks a few years back. They ended up putting the cocks in the freezer because they gave the rooster such a bad time. But on the whole they have enjoyed them very much. They are fantastic at bug control and despite their somewhat skitish nature they have risen...

Wait a minute...you mean I have to cook? :barnie I think we'll just throw some steaks on the grill and call it good. :hide

Go to the library and check out the book "Fit for real people". It shows you how to tissue fit a pattern. It is very clear with lots of pictures and can make making adjustments a breeze.

If you follow the Weston A Price foundations recommendations, none of their assertions are new. I agree with them.

I bet it's fine. Taste a bit. If it doesn't taste off then it is probably fine. It lasts in the fridge for about 6 months.

I was in to the doctor several weeks ago. She said the powdered viramin c (like Bronsons) is great for treatment of bites as it is an anti-inflammatory. She said make a paste and put it on the bite. I told my girlfriend about it just before her family went on vacation because they have such...

Key-fur...emphasis on the first syllable.

So, for us it is not about price or what I am saving. It has a whole lot more to do with what I am not putting on my skin. And yes, properly cured handmade soap lasts forever. I got into soaping because my SIL is very allergic to the antibacterial ingredient in most soaps. We both started...

You may also need to resurvey the property and subdivide it. The current mortgage would cover both pieces but when an appraisal is done of both pieces, it would be very clear what they are lending you money for. Big assumption here, but if you use the proceeds to pay off part of the mortgage...

That's what happened with my kids.

Calendula, My kids and I just watched a movie this past weekend called "Front of the Class". It was a fantastic true life story of a young man who grew up with Tourette's. I can't recommend it enough. About ADHD and meds...after years of my boys being on meds I finally had enough. The meds did...

I put it in a huge cast-iron pan with 4 inch sides than spans two eyes. Since I ground it fine it barely had to heat through before the oil came out, so it wasn't heated on high or for very long. There doesn't seem to be much smell. Hm, French fries. That does sound good. I guess it would work...

I plan to divide up the renderings (looks like cooked ground beef) into quart baggies and freeze it for the birds. As cold as it is getting here, in a week I can leave it on the back deck and not take up precious freezer space. I mix it with hot red peppers (the kind you might shake on a pizza)...

DH and went and picked up a side of beef today from a grass fed beef friend. I've got the meat in the freezer and I know what to do with that. I spent hours today grinding, rendering and canning the fat. I ended up with just over 5 dozen pints of lovely white fat and probably 3-4 gallons of...
