    Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

    I acknowledge the cost of food is a lower percentage of income than it was a hundred years ago, but that does not mean they are not rising to the point to cause hardship for many Americans. Today, people have expenses that they didn't have back then. We now have to pay for all manner of...

    sugar withdrawal

    It is the only change I am making at the moment. My goal right now is to cut 80-90% of the white sugar out of my diet (which probably puts me at about half the average :rolleyes:). I eventually want to go further, but I was afraid it would be too much of a shock to my system. Growing up, my...

    any recipes for possums?

    My dogs eat just about anything and everything - except 'possums. Given that, I can't imagine eating one. (I know different cultures find different foods revolting. In the UK, the thought of eating squirrel really puts people off.) It is just the fact that my dogs won't touch them and I have...

    Freezer issues, ideas/advice needed

    We have the same problem. Our freezer happens to be close to a jack in our basement. We just jam a short piece of lumber between the jack and the door. It has worked for about four years so far. It is a small pain, but I have been told that while less efficient, new freezers will not last...
