    QueenRed's Self Sufficient Journal of Doom! - More Strays!

    That's a nice name. I'll definitely run it by my husband in the morning (he went to sleep early because he has an interview tomorrow!). She's a sweet little cat. I've been calling her sweet pea and things of that nature. I do like Buttercup though. This is the first time he's had an orange...

    QueenRed's Self Sufficient Journal of Doom! - More Strays!

    Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap! So, up saunters this little butter yellow and caramel orange kitten. Well, I take her inside... and now we have a new cat... What I don't get is that we couldn't keep the dog, but my DH got all smooshy faced over the kitten (I fear a trend) and we can keep her. I...

    What are you DEHYDRATING today?

    No, I knew it wouldn't work. I was just dreading the oven. I don't trust my furries sometimes. :P I thought the gap had to be bigger, that's why I was considering doing it in a room. However, sense the gap doesn't have to be that big, I can use the oven. Any idea on how long I should leave it...

    QueenRed's Self Sufficient Journal of Doom! - More Strays!

    Back when I lived in Mississippi, it happened often that a little puppy (or a few in some cases) would wander up. We'd always bring them inside, feed them, bathe them, and send them to the pound. I've never had the opportunity to keep a stray that has wandered up, unfortunately. We had 4 dogs at...

    Thanks, that's what I figured, but you never know. I should be able to scamper outside at some point today and plant them. My headstrong ways are kicking in so I will try to grow them inside in a big pot!

    What are you fermenting today?

    I think I'm going to try my hand at sauerkraut! I just have to get some jars first. We are going to the store tomorrow so I might pick up a few there. I looked at the wild fermentation guy's video regarding making it and it seems really easy. It saves us one less thing we have to buy and my...

    What are you DEHYDRATING today?

    Possibly, if it would work. :/ Alright, so it was a little headstrong on my part. :lol: I'll use the oven. I hope the cats don't try to jump in. :( Do you have any tips to help me out? Like how long to let them go in the oven.

    http://budget101.com/articles/article15.htm So I was looking for information on dehydrating stuff, when all of a sudden I stumble upon this great site. These neat little plant starters are easy to make and degrade all on their own. The best thing yet, they won't cost you anything and you can...

    What are you DEHYDRATING today?

    I'm going to try to dehydrate some fish tomorrow. My DH doesn't like fish so much so we don't eat it a lot and I don't want what we have to go bad. So I thought drying it like fish jerky would be lovely. The only option I really have is solar drying as I don't have a dehydrator and I'm afraid to...

    QueenRed's Self Sufficient Journal of Doom! - More Strays!

    Well, I have an update. First off, we had a cutie pie little stray puppy wander up the other day. I wish I could have gotten a picture of her before we took her to the pound, which was a heart breaking experience. Anyway, I named her Dahlia. I have no idea what kind of dog she was, but she had...

    Member Titles

    Well, lets see... It was suggested I saunter on over and get my member title. I like the sounds of Chronic Learner, but there may be something better out there... Let's see, I like comic books, my husband thinks "my fascination with livestock is disturbing," and I'm really into genetics. I'm...

    QueenRed's Self Sufficient Journal of Doom! - More Strays!

    I would like to. Goodness knows we need the money. There is a farmer's market around here and a few flea markets. How do you get set up at those places? Just show up with a table and a chair, or what? :D If it works out the way I want, I am going to have a huge garden at some point next year...

    QueenRed's Self Sufficient Journal of Doom! - More Strays!

    Ha, I couldn't think of a better name so I just went with a default one. adding "of doom" makes things sound more ominous and amazing in my opinion. Like if you say "chicken of doom." It's sounds much more exciting than "chicken," even if it actually isn't.

    I wanted to share some pictures. Some of them are projects, some are plants, and some are cats. :) Gotta show the fluffies off. Here are my current knitting projects. I would like to learn how to knit with the needles, but I don't have any so can't do that right now. Here's the crochet work...
