I also make my own laundry soap that is posted somewhere on this site, but you can also get the recipe I use here: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm . It is the liquid form, but I know others do basically the same thing in powder form. My youngest son has allergies and always...

We had pot roast tonight also. I make mine in the crock pot though. It was very tasty with some rice, broccoli, and brussels sprouts with hollendaise sauce. Yum! *Not very much leftover though, maybe next time I shouldn't make it taste so good, lol.

I'm with you there! I could last far longer without food than any skinny survivalist could :pop .

I would suggest that you not hang around here. We obviously don't have any information you need or want.

We use a rotary dryer. Works great for us because we don't really have the room to put up enough traditional line to hang a whole load. I put it up when I have a load to dry, and take it down to store in the shed when I'm not using it. I can fit about two loads on it at a time, so I have...

Yeah, imagine stepping on a huge dead rat as you get out of bed... ewwwww.

I've made the play-doh and gloop (we call it slime), that me&thegals posted, but I have also made this edible play-doh. Even my 11 & 13yo nieces played with/ate it, lol. PEANUT BUTTER PLAY-DOH 2 c. peanut butter 2 c. powdered milk 1 c. honey, or corn syrup Mix all together and have fun!

Congrats on 20 years! I was working at a credit union and became friends with a girl who came in regularly to do her banking. We started hanging out together and one day she brought her brother (Dave) along to the credit union with her. The three of us and another girl I worked with started...

This is my favorite whole-wheat bread recipe. 7 1/2 C whole-wheat flour 1/3 C oil 1 Tbsp salt 1 Tbsp yeast 1/3 C honey 2 greased loaf pans In a small bowl mix the yeast with 1/4 C warm water. Sprinkle a bit of flour on the top and cover with a paper towel to bloom. In a large bowl, mix 2 1/2...

We don't do Christmas, but we are having some people over for a Chanukah celebration. My boys and I thought it would be fun to invite some of our homeschool friends over and teach them about Chanukah since we are the only Jewish homeschoolers we know and they had fun teaching their friends to...

I really don't know what the crime is like her compared to the rest of the country or even the state. We don't live in the best neighborhood, but it's not like there are bullets flying around every day either. If you were to go about two miles south of us, the crime definitely goes up...

Do you cut the fat in really well? That is an important step. I measure my dry ingredients, cut in the fat (I use crisco), then make a well in the middle, pour in my milk and stir it together. I make mine in a round 9'' pan so I don't roll and cut them. I just separate my dough into halves...

I am going to have to make something that takes a lot of eggs tomorrow. I have more than a dozen right now but I don't see any of my friends who like to buy them until Friday.

How can you manage rolls but not biscuits? We are having pizza tonight, not even homeade but take-away. I just don't feel up to cooking. We will probably have spaghetti tomorrow.

I don't have a bread maker, nor do I use a mixer. I would rather do everything by hand than have to clean up the extra stuff that comes with using a mixer.

I would love to have any recipes you can post. We will in all likelyhood have some goat meat before too long. I doubt I will be able to sell all the kids we get, so some of them will become BBQ! I've never had goat meat before, but I am sure willing to try it.

I have tried thrift-store shopping a few times but have run into that same problem. I'm not going to pay $12 for a used pair of jeans for my boys when I can get the same pair at target for $10. I prefer trading or buying clothes from friends. I have one friend who gives me clothes when her...

If those are the hamburger buns from the recipe I posted, they do taste great! Frankly, when mine were still warm, I spread some butter on one and just ate it that way, lol. Yours look really good! I still need to try some of the recipes that have been posted here.

I have to admit that I tend to buy the frozen pie shells to make my pecan, pumpkin, and derby pie. I am a very good baker, but pie crust has always defeated me for some reason. I can get the taste ok, but I always have trouble rolling it out and not ripping it when putting it in the pan, and...

We were camping with a friend and her family and her husband made some really great beef and bean chili. He said his recipe was a secret so I just assumed I wouldn't get it. Later I mention the "secret recipe" to my friend and she laughed saying it was no secret at all, just S&W chili beans...
