a Sauce Master!!
Carla Emery's Encyclopedia to Country Living!!
Taste of Home Cookbook and the baking cookbook (both are binders, haven't had much time to look at them yet though)
The Ball complete guide to canning - the one with...
I got the chopper/shredder attachment for Christmas this year and am in love. :love makes awesome potatoes o brien and I can't wait until canning season!
I have been poo free for 1 month now and am loving it! whoo who!
I even got a compliment on my hair from my sister last night - she asked me what kind of gel I had been using and she was sure shocked when I told her nothing! My curls are so much better now - I had just about lost all the...
I soak orange peels in vinegar for about a week and then use about 1/4 cup of vinegar mixed with about 1 cup of water- swish together and pour all over hair, let sit on hair for a couple of minutes and then rinse. The citrus helps to control frizzy flyaways. I have read that you could add...
I have oily thick hair and haven't used shampoo or conditioner since November 29th. I just do the baking soda paste and then I do a citrus vinegar rinse. I find that I don't have to wash my hair as often anymore. The first couple of weeks my hair was super frizzy (prone to be that way anyway)...
canning stock today. My mom thought I was weird that I wanted to take home the carcass...and I told her to save the neck.
we didn't have much meat left over. I would have loved to have made turkey soup to can, but didn't have enough.
We are doing a homemade Christmas this year so Christmas gifts will include, but not limited to: Cranberry Apple Jam, Homemade bread, Homemade Crackers, Cowboy Candy, cookies, candies, and orange extract (homemade)
I decorated some of my jams the other day:
I may sound like Scrooge BUT I think Christmas shouldn't Start until December!
Each and every year we skip Thanksgiving and move straight to Christmas. I hate the commercialism of Christmas too. Christmas should not be about stuff, but about love. Stuff cannot replace love. We will put our...
It is so easy to process- I did my first this year by myself. The average rate for processing is around $75 here.
Are you going to can it? There is a lot of people I know that can dog food with deer and other meats too. They often add veggies to it and process it.
I would have more coops for meaties and turkeys and I would have a bigger rabbitry
I would have a different house complete with LARGE walk-in pantry.
I would have my own processing kitchen where I could process my chickens and rabbits for sell.
have a much bigger garden
I know you all cook so I am hoping someone can help me. I am having an issue with my electric stove- the main front burner will heat all the way up sporadically. I can be just barelly simmering somthing and it will be boiling in a minute. It is not the burner because I put my heavy duty...
I didn't feel it but the tremors were felt just 30 miles away! I was too worried about the tornados! And then I wake up to a mud-washed yard and decided to read about last night's weather. Crazy huh? Dirty rain, tornadoes (there was one 3 miles from my house!!) earthquakes, hail, straight-line...
It is cute! :)
I prefer a bag to go over my head and use an old apron.
Have you considered selling them on etsy? Seems like something that would sell rather well.
Thanks for reminding me to put some taters up to plant. Last year we planted both store and seed...the store came up and the seed didn't. The year before we couldn't get any taters to come up (we only planted seed taters) SO I need to put some of my taters in the stairway so they can sprout...
listed some coupons on ebay and sold some eggs.
The coupons don't make a ton of money, in return I buy coupons to save us money. So it all works out. :)
