    is this a good price on a kettle

    :barnie There are somethings people should NOT use as planters and that kettle falls into that list. That really stinks cause you don't see usable kettles like that real often.

    is this a good price on a kettle

    If it"s cast and defect free and had no chemicals in it it should clean up nicely and be very usefull. A good friend of mine said his family used to make ketchup in a kettle just like that over an open fire

    is this a good price on a kettle

    If it is cast iron and has no cracks I would snap it up in a heart beat.

    Anyone ever use black cherries for anything good?

    I found an abundance of choke cherries (one in the same as black cherriesaround here)a few years ago and made jelly. I tried to make it with no sugar added pectin and sweeten it with honey and stevia but had mixed results with it jelling. Non the less it made excellant jelly. If I were to do it...

    Stuff you had no clue was edible...

    The flower pods of the daylillies are really good. They taste a little like asparagus. My wife likes her flowers to much so we ussually have to forage them from the road sides. Dandelion root can also be dug and roasted to make a coffee substitute. I have never tried it but I know one of the...

    Buy Essential Oil Online?

    Tortoise, Did you get some EO? sorry I didn't reply sooner I have been tied up with a summer school class since my last post. I think Mother Natures Foods sells a decent brand of oils. It has been a really long time since I have been in there so I don't know what they carry. Just out of...

    Buy Essential Oil Online?

    They should say therapeutic grade right on the label. Scent or perfume grade oils are cheap but I wouldn't use them. Don't be fooled by labels that say 100% pure. What they don't tell you is that there is a good chance that they where chemically processed and some of the chemmicals are still in...

    bacon fruit cups

    I read further down in the comments after the recipe and someone suggested to avoid sticking to the muffin tins cover them with foil liners. Sounds logical I guess.

    BEES!!! Went out and found a swarm in my tree today

    A friend of mine had the same thing a few years back. When he went out to the barn in the morning there they were hanging in one of his trees. He called an old timer in the area and he came over with a 5 gal. bucket with a piece of screen on the lid and a branch from a peach tree. He rubbed the...
