    Maybe I'll have to try that next time.

    selling handmade sea salt?

    I would wonder if you could truly do this economically. You would have the fuel to go get the water. Also you would need to collect more water than folks in the lower 48 to achieve similar results. The farther north you go the less salty the water is.

    Thanks. :). How long do they last in the fridge? Did you track down any more jars?

    Sorry about the storm at your folks. That is a real drag. How are you doing with your long list of to dos? Being away can sure set you back on projects fast. I was thinking about what you said earlier about your "hurry up and do list" suddenly getting real long. My list suddenly got longer too...

    Weird rash/bite/itching

    We use powdered vitamin C in a paste for bites. It is a natural antihistamine and works great.

    To: Anyone who soaps, especially hand/mixer stirrers

    I realize this is an old post, but to make soap dry faster you can do what is called water discounting. Using your lye calculator, drop the percentage of water down to no less than 25% (I think most lye calculators use around 35-37%). Any less than that and it may not be enough water to get the...

    Update? I know it is still hot down there, but...... :hide ....It has been raining the whole time you have been gone. The Geese and ducks love it, but when you are trying to stain a fence, it is a real pain. The chickens are swimming in muck. Gotta love August in Alaska. Charlie hatched...

    Whizbang Chicken Plucker???

    The kids and I made one of these last year as a homeschool project. DH did the electrical wiring for the motor. It works great!! Using the kit takes the guess work out of it. Also, look carefully at the updated ideas in the back of the book. Mine suggested to not cut out the bottom, but...

    Did I miss something? Farmer needs a membership to what? And why is the creamery so behind in paying him? I thought he was also part owner. What a mess!!

    The ducks really turned out beautiful!! If I had it to do over again, I would not have more than one male during breeding season. The only reason I kept two was incase something happened to one of them over the winter. Instead of keeping two pairs, you may want to think about getting an...
