I'd eat it and be thankful I had food that day. I eat squirrels, bunnies and other cute fuzzy critters that appear anthropomorphised in story books. No regrets.

Good luck! It's crappie time here. I'm ready for some flakey fried panfish goodness.

I make a one pan medley. Put strips of your favorite meat in a fry pan on medium heat. Cook covered for 10 minutes. Stir meat and then add sliced yellow squash, zucchini and coarse diced onions on top of the meat. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes. The meat juices will steam the...

I put my onions in the fridge for a day before I cut them up for dehydrating. It cuts down on the eye irritation. The old Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr use to put his onions in the freezer for an hour before cutting them. I don't like the texture when I do that. Well, my age seems to be...

Some grinders manufacturers specifically advise against grinding popcorn in their machines. This is because popcorn is considerably harder than regular field corn. Be sure to check your grinder's instructions for popcorn compatibility. I know that my grinder will grind any common seed except...

I have a 15 year old Toastmaster Bread and Butter maker and think it is great. It makes bread, (white, wheat, french), churns butter and also has a dough cycle. I will miss it when ever it gives up the ghost. I use it to make flavored croutons too. Adding herbs to be baked in the loaf...

Nice modification. It's good to see ingenuity in the face of adversity. That said, I hate glass tops too. Me man. Man only cook on fire. Ugh! Only fire make good meat. Only fire be NASA hot.

Amen! #1 for SS inspiration. ___ Love that book. it's one of my favorites. Along with "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress". ______ Books: Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank - Post-nuclear war Earth Abides by George R. Stewart - Post-biological plague Wolf and Iron by Gordon R. Dickson - Post-economic...

I distrust all media implicitly. They all devolve into propaganda machines fueled by the entities that finance them. Spin stacked on spin laced with subliminal indoctrination. I canceled my TV service three years ago because the substance was woefully inadequate. Frankly, internet news isn't...

If it's instant yeast and doesn't rise then it is probably dead. If the package does not say "instant" then you will have to proof it before it will make bread rise. To proof yeast, dissolve yeast and 1 tsp. of sugar in warm water. If the mixture froths after 5 or ten minutes then your yeast...

I have a 15 year old Kenmore top loader that gets stinky every few months. To deodorize it I run a load of towels adding a 1/4 cup of Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi-Surfaces liquid (Summer Citrus scent) and an 1/8th cup of TSP (trisodium phosphate) along with the normal detergent. It gets rid...

Quilt batting. Old sweaters as insulation would make for a nice warm quilt. I would pre-shrink them first though.

Wow, Thanks for the link Abifae.

That sounds wonderful.

Wow! That sounds scrumptious. I gotta try your recipe on the dehydrator. Ooohh, I bet they would be great as a layer in a casserole too.

A few years ago, due to supposed customer demand, the pork industry started introducing lower fat pork. They claimed that they had bred a new pig that had a much lower fat content. I suspect that all they did was to cut out the finishing step (fattening with grain), saving them money while...
