    Neko-chan, I was just writing down that honey flavored recipe and I notice in the first description it says "sifted sugar"- how much? I don't see it in the ingredient list. Thanks!

    Thanks for all the tips and recipes! Cinnamon flavored- great idea! Wife, I have frozen blueberries in the freezer right now- just added heavy cream to my grocery list!! Does anyone have a recommendation for an actual ice cream maker?

    Ice Cream??

    Wow! They both sound too good! BubblingBrooks, I am glad to know I can make ice cream without a gadget... But, freemotion- what I can do with a gadget!!! I am definitely going to make the mint extract- even if I don't make ice cream. One thing I have way too much of is, mint! I have...

    apparent thefts out of our garage -- suggestions?

    Pat, I am sure I did get it at Home Depot. It was not with the security stuff- it was with the door bell merchandise. It says "Bunker Hill" on it. I recently invested in a cheap camera system, from Harbor Freight. Four cameras, and a DVR for 300 ish. Not a bad picture and it does work at...

    Do you ever get the cooking blahs?!

    Do you have a bread machine? My pizza dough comes out great with mine. I end up with two doughs- one I freeze and the other I cook that night. Of course, you still have to turn on the oven...

    apparent thefts out of our garage -- suggestions?

    I have a sensor (meant to be a driveway alarm). It runs on batteries and the "bell" part plugs in. Depending how far away from the house, the garage is- this system might work. Even if the bell didn't ring in the house, you could have it ring in the garage. If I was a thief and I heard a...

    I take a melatonin and valerian root, every night. It really helps with that "racing mind" problem. It also helps you fall asleep again, if you wake in the night. The valerian has the added benefit of being an antidepressant- I really suffered in the winter months, before I found it...I bet a...

    What did you do to save $ today?

    If you want bread to be easy to slice (and not fall apart) just add some wheat gluten. I add about 3 teaspoons to my bread machine recipe. It makes all the difference- and great sandwich bread!

    Time for a New Roof

    I put a metal roof on my last house. I highly recommend it! I had one layer of shingles on the house, which they went right over. With your ridge vent- you should be fine ventilation wise. I lived in the house for 5 years and never had to go up onto the roof. I did the porch roof in...

    Laundry detergent

    Sorry to hear that your daughter is suffering. I have a couple ideas, a friend of mine suffered from eczema his entire life. Due to unrelated symptoms, he was tested for Celiac Disease. Turns out he was gluten intolerant- went gluten free and never had another spot of eczema! I would...

    mouth ulcers?

    Hi everyone! First post here. I have been lurking for awhile (over on BYC, and TEG). Just had to share this info. DH was plagued with these sores. Really made his life miserable. Yes, the L-Lysine helped, but changing to a toothpaste without SLS, (sodium laurel sulfate), absolutely changed...
