    What to do with a Hog Head.

    My grandma and mom always made mincemeat with the hog head. The head was cleaned with all the "extras" removed then it was just put in a big pot with water covering it and cooked like you would for chicken. The cooked meat was then scraped from the bone and mixed with fruits. It makes the...

    Would the FDA close down your kitchen?

    Me too. They are much better that a heating pad.

    Would the FDA close down your kitchen?

    Is it against FDA rules to let your cat lay across your shoulders while you cook and wash dishes? :rolleyes:

    Need input on debt reduction/settlement options

    Thanks to everyone for the input. I had forgotten that I had years ago purchased cds of Dave Ramsey's TMMO. I found them but have not been able to convince hubby that there is a way to make this work. He is just really tired of having nothing left over after the bills are paid and working 70...

    Need input on debt reduction/settlement options

    We are thinking about contacting a debt settlement company to get our credit card balances reduced and paid off. I was wondering if anyone has done this or knew of someone who has and the pros and cons.

    Bee~ Journal of then...

    I got the new PineTree catalog yesterday too. I have ordered from them in the past and they were great. I love the fact that you can get seeds in smaller quanities than with other seed companies. My seed catalogs are like the Christmas Sears and Roebuck was when I was a kid!!!!

    Thank you BBH!!

    Your are soooo right, raw makes it sound nasty and it really is wonderful. We also used the cream to make butter and put on our cereal and cobblers. I don't know if I could eat my cobbler with the cream on it now or not. It might be too rich for me but, I would sure give it a try!

    Thank you BBH!!

    Maybe it is just because I grew up on a dairy farm and the only things that we drank were water (from our well) and milk (from our cows) that I find it hard to believe that people would really think raw milk was harmful. What did our grandparents and great grandparents drink? Raw milk. There...

    Black Walnuts? Now what do I do?

    I have never heard of a place that you could take them for someone to shell for you. We always shelled ours in the winter when you couldn't do much outside.

    Black Walnuts? Now what do I do?

    When I was growing up cracking walnuts was a common occurance. We didn't have pecan trees and they were too expensive to buy so if we wanted nuts in something walnuts were our only choice. They were free and we had several walnut trees. If it was a good year some of them would be taken to the...

    Farmville?

    I feel like I should be at an AA meeting (or maybe that should be a FVA meeting). "Hi, my name is Debbie and I am addicted to FarmVille". On the up side it looks like I am in very good company. I would love to be a neighbor to anyone that would like to have me. Just PM me.

    Do you adore beans? :D

    It is a type of relish made with cabbage, green tomatoes, sweet red peppers, pickling spices, vinegar and sugar. I think it has other names but that is what my grandma called it.

    Forgot to say that to me there is nothing better than brown beans on cornbread with chow chow on top. YUM. It is a comfort food for me.

    Do you adore beans? :D

    Just a littly FYI if you want to cut down on the bloated feeling that a wonderful pot of beans can give you sometimes add dried savory or if you do not have that some powered ginger. I don't know why it works but it does.
