What a clever idea!

Thanks Rhoda_Bruce! And thanks to everyone else who has given advise on this thread.

It seemed like we were doing alright there for awhile. We really don't have that much outstanding debt. We don't have credit cards. Our van is paid for. No cable, no cell phones, no shopping for fun. We buy second hand items, make our own or do without. I biggest vacation is to the campground...

I've been reading a lot of old french recipes lately. I have a reprint of an eighteenth century french cookbook called "The Professed Cook." I keep seeing preserved orange blossoms and orange flower water listed as an ingredient. I was able to find the orange flower water online. But, so far no...

Cool shower gel idea! Pun intended. So you store it in the freezer?

That's awesome Framing Fowl! Sounds like a decent trade to me.

Thanks all for the info about keeping the lid off during storage. I always put mine away with the lid on. I'll have to quit doing that. I also have a tendency to burn things on occasion and sometime I cook gooey stuff. If there are still bits stuck to the bottom of the pan and placing it...

I'm glad to see others like this as well as I do. I love this porridge recipe. It was the first one I tried when I first read NT a few months ago. I especially love using the leftover bits to make oat cakes. I would eat oatmeal one morning and the next have oat cakes with maple syrup. I made it...

I got the book in the mail on a Friday. I bought it to take with me on our campout. I had to keep myself from reading the whole thing before I left on Sunday. Stayed up almost all night reading it by flashlight. I read the whole book. I love it. We just returned from vacation so I haven't had a...

I think I'm going to get a copy to read on our campout coming soon. I'm excited. For, the campout and the book.

Don't worry about hijacking the thread. I don't mind. I'm glad that others have questions too. So, lets see, It was store bought fat free milk. Not ultrapasturazed but, homogonized. I didn't think to check the date. I had just purchased it the day before so I don't think it was too old. I used...

I make my own deodorant. I got the recipe from a blog. But, I don't remember which one. 1/4 C. baking soda, 1/4 c. cornstarch, 20 drops of tea tree oil, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Mix it all up and allow it to sit for 2 days to harden. I keep mine in a jar and I apply it with the back of an...

I screwed it up. I used rennet and fallowed the recipe on newengland cheesemakers website. But, it didn't curd up nicely. In the end I had a cheese paste. Tasty but, not a very nice consistency at all. Did I stir it too much? The recipe seemed pretty easy so I will try it again. Any tips for...

I liked this free printable booklet. http://littlehouseinthesuburbs.com/2009/01/free-printable-o-rama-herbs-fall-and.html Sorry I cannot help with the storage questions because I would like to know myself.

That is seriously too cool!

Well, I just made some ginger carrots. And I have a jar of fish sauce ready to make some ketchup. I haven't opened it yet though. I'm a little scared. :) I'm new to this but, very excited to experiment.

Thank you! :weee And yes I also thought it seemed a bit salty. But, besides my mistake it was so easy I will make some again soon. I'll just cut down on the salt a bit.

I just got done making some ginger carrots from "nourishing traditions" Since it is my first experiment with lacto-fermented vegetables I decided to cut the recipe in half. But, when it came to adding the whey I added the full amount: 4T instead of 2T. Did I just ruin it? I tasted a little and...

Thanks you guys. Now I'm looking at my backyard with different eyes. Found this and thought it was interesting: http://www.slashfood.com/2008/06/18/backyard-tea-creeping-charlie/
