I know this question would be better asked on theeasygarden but, I thought I would try on here as well. I planted from seed for the first time this year. So far I started some herbs, tomatoes, broccoli and peppers. So far I have a bunch of lifeless dirt. I am starting over I did not use starter...

Tell me about LARD! :) Because, after reading that a lot of you use lard in cooking my husband and I made the switch. I have a few questions though. Can you reuse lard after you deepfry with it? Can you use it to replace shortening in recipes? and do you render your own or use store bought?

Wow thanks everyone!

Ha-thanks :) Their mom did end up bringing some "veggie" sticks (Those chip like things from the store) and dunkin donuts. She said she felt too weird not bringing anything at all. So, they had the pasta with a few "veggie" sticks on the side and then they had the donuts later for a...

Thanks NC- I've made it that way before but, my husband still prefers the store bought kind. I was hoping that this new recipe might act a little more like the store bought version. Good to know about the citric acid though. I just don't really know what I'm doing so I didn't want to purchase...

Your kittens are so cute. I love to look at them when they are that small. But, they are usually a pain in the butt. Are they getting into trouble yet? When my cat was a kitten he use to try and swat at my eyes. :lol: Crazy little things, those kittens. So, cute though.

I would like to make some cottage cheese. I was reading online and found a few recipes. The one on cheesemaking.com seemed easy enough for a beginner to follow. But, before I ordered the supplies I was wondering why they have a C101 packet listed in there ingredients. What is it? Do you use...

I would really like to do this and make it work. I know that my friend would most likely feed her kids differently if she had the time to do it. But, right now she doesn't. So I would love to help. Thank you all. These are some really good ideas. I'm going to try replacing some of there old...

I like this thread too. Keep em coming...I can't wait to try acorn tea. The rolly poly's now, those I think I'll take a pass on for now. Good to know though.

We've used regular baby shampoo to cure pink eye. I lather it up on my hands and then wash my eye area with it while leaving my eyes open as much as possible. Sometimes you have to do it more than once. It sounds crazy but It really works.

I did the same thing today! I was actually disappointed that I'm all caught up with my laundry. So I didn't have anything to hang outside. Then I realized how silly that sounds...

I was wondering this myself. Although I haven't tried either of them yet.

I babysit for two young kids (3 and 5). There Mom packs them a lunch and an afternoon snack. This worked out fine for a couple of years. But, it was starting to become a chore for there mother who works a lot. Plus, now I have my own daughter (1) and I have to make food for her anyway. So, I...

This is such an awesome idea!

Wow, it is good to know there are so many good groups out there. I know for myself that I am going to donate to Catholic Relief Services. I know that they only use 3% for Admin. fees the rest goes to food, water, and clothing. They also stay with the cause as long as they are needed. They are...

We've done ours on our electric stove in the past. Last year our cousin bought us a large propane stove setup. The kind people usually use to deepfry turkeys. We use it to boil down until its a really heavy syrup and then finish it up inside on the stove. Friends of ours do theirs outside over a...

My dad use to take consentrated black cherry juice for his gout. We would buy it at the healthfood store. I use to steal sips of it as it is very tasty.

Thank you for this tip. I read this one awhile back and ordered their catalog. I was not disappointed.

HA!!! :gig

I love millet. What do you do to make it like mashed potatoes. I usually toast it in a skillet and add it to my oatmeal.
