    Howdy and a question already! (a yogurt question)

    I haven't had runny yogurt yet with the jam on the bottom method. You don't mix them until you are ready to eat. I like this method because it's a easy snack to grab. If we had to add the flavor each time we wouldn't eat them. It's easier to grab something that is ready to eat. I can also...

    Homemade laundry detergent: Liquid vs Dry

    I have made the liquid version several times. I like the liquid results, but I prefer the dry for several reasons, Easier to make, store and use. The dry also seems to get my linens cleaner and they smell great. I use 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of soda ash, 1 cup of borax and 1 finely grated...

    mouth ulcers?

    Depends on the cause. Are they cold sores? How often do they occur? Where in your mouth? Are they painful? If they are viral related, a low dose of a prescription antiviral on a regular schedule can prevent them. Alternatively L-lysine supplemants can also help.

    Manual Coffee Grinder, Which To Get...?

    I often see the small wooden box with the drawer type at thrift stores and yard sales. I had one once and it needed to be tightened every few uses and was not consistent with the grind. This was probably a quality of the product issue. I think I sent that one to the thrift store when I got my...

    I got mine on ebay. Its an antique wall mount grinder. I paid $60 for it. It takes about 1 minute to grind enough for a pot of coffee. It has a "hopper" on the top that holds about 2 cups of beans and a tin cup for catching the grounds. It's similar to this one-although this one is missing the...
