    Quick, hubby is bringing someone home for supper?!?!?!?

    Jordan Rubin's chicken stock recipe makes FANTASTIC chicken soup. It never makes it to stock stage, it is always eaten as soup. :) Every time we have it everyone raves over it, it's really easy too. I second Savingdogs recommendation. :)

    Scams, rip offs & stupid mistakes - Share yours so we can all learn

    My husband and I have made it a point to NEVER give anyone money (unless it's dear friends). There is a man that stands out at the corner of Fred Meyers with a sign "Will work for food". The pastor of a church we used to attend recognized him as a former chef in a rather nice restaurant. The...

    when making mayo--what oil do you use?

    We use sunflower oil. It makes a mayo that is even better then Best Foods (die hard Best Foods fans here) and the texture is the same too.

    OK I finally read the end of the article after rereading the beginning 3 times to find out where I missed the recipe! Hehe I guess I'll have to go on the 1/4 tsp yeast and 42% water and figure out the rest from there. :)

    Scams, rip offs & stupid mistakes - Share yours so we can all learn

    Like several others here the thing I regret the most is spending all my earnings that I made as a working teen and young adult. I finally started saving my money the same time I met my very-soon-to-be husband. During the 3 months that I saved, I saved $2,000. I can't imagine how much I would...

    My sourdough starter has been sitting in the fridge all winter and I haven't touched it. Can I still revive it, and how do I do that? ETA much later: I changed the name since I'm sure I'll have many more questions in the upcoming weeks. :)

    Hmm I always thought it would be too crumbly, but I'll definitely give it a try! A great reminder! I always used to use Bread in 5 Minutes a day recipe and totally forgot about that! Thank you BB! I'd love to see other recipes too if anyone has them. Maybe some "fancy" ones with milk and...

    Question about fencing for goats

    We used rough sawn lumber from my husbands mill. He milled up some posts too. It works great, looks nice and my goats cannot escape. They have completely given up! :lol: Rough sawn lumber is pretty cheap too. ETA: It also is easy to move around. It took my husband 10 minutes by himself to pull...

    I need some help and some ideas. I need to bake some bread tomorrow and I am almost out of Hard White Wheat. I have a couple cups, but not enough to make 1 loaf of bread. I have plenty of soft white wheat though. I also have a package of gluten, so I'm wondering if adding a bunch of gluten...

    Interesting ways/ideas for your Kombucha!

    I double fermented my water kefir. It smelled alcoholic and tasted alcoholic, but then that is from someone who has only ever had a sip of wine when I was 6. :P Anyways we tested it and it was not alcoholic at all. It was a good half inch below zero. We have had kombucha that registered as a 2...

    Yeah, I've had a lot of people recommend Fir Meadow to me and I love Kat's products. I went through and started reading all the past posts in the Totally Natural Goats Yahoo group and found a lot of great info. I can't wait for Kat to finish her book. I'm buying it as soon as it comes out!

    I just order through Azure because whollyliving, most of their stuff comes from Azure with a jacked up price. They have a few things that don't come from Azure, and a few that are a bit cheaper, but I like the convenience of buying once a month not twice a year. :)

    Damummis'- Auf wiedersehen

    Let me see if I can find the link... I found a free copy of Pat Coleby's Natural Goat care that you can download and read. She talks about how a goat that is not copper deficient will not have worm problems. So if you want to try and help them 1. Get them some copper. Most people copper bolus...

    HRT advice needed

    I friend offered me some recently. I would have taken it, but I have a history of hypothyroidism and the Estrogen has a lot of soy in it. Soy is really hard on the thyroid so I avoid any that is not fermented and not organic. I take fermented organic only in small portions. But other then that...

    On the dose that Thorvin recommends I figured it would last me just under a year. I think it will be a little less then that because of their deficiency, but it might also be longer once they are no longer deficient because Thorvin came up with those figures based on how much the goats ate free...
