I've never cooked oxtails. Don't think i"ve noticed them in the stores either.

I could not afford the water for that much. It doesn't rain here in the summer/fall anymore.

I have two plum trees and a nectarine. They were from Stark's and are only four years old. I'm to hold off on trimming them until just before spring. We might get a sprinkling of our first snow this coming week, and spring is quite a ways off. The two figs won't be trimmed as they are tiny...

I watched three vids of how to prune apple trees. The best one was from UC Santa Cruz. So I went at it. Got five of them done, and then hubs got the very tall water sprouts cut more than half way down. The UC Santa Cruz teacher said that if you trim those leaf bud branches (diff from fruit...

I wonder what Ultra fine canola oil is and how it might be different from store bought canola oil?

I rarely go to the chicken site. I cannot stand the format there.

The above lady posted yesterday in our local give and receive. She was really pissed off that we gave her pork. She did offer it to others, but alot of the comments said for her to throw away the pork. "it looks freezer burned" "I wouldn't eat that junk" "if you have dogs, feed it to them" I...

Our Food Bank throws away sooooo much food. They spend $2000 a week for a produce company to deliver what they ordered. If something looks even overripe, marred, nicked, etc, into the trash it goes. Tuesday I brought home a 1/4 filled huge banana box filled with produce discards. We are eating...
