Very true Pat :D Since I have severe nut allergies, every 10yrs or so, I go thru once of those intense "allergy tests" The one where they prick and apply an allergent, they also test my blood with the nuts, since I'm so allergic, they cannot prick and apply nuts to my skin :ep Pine nuts were...

OMG~ I'm fixing this, this weekend :drool

Well I wanted an incubator, but ended up getting 5 bantam cochins, which I'm hoping will do the incubating for me ;) Dh and I usually don't exchange christmas gifts, but usually, I'll pick something up for myself the day after Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday (my fave day of the year :D ) This...

I haven't read the other posts, but have your water tested by your local health department. Culligan is a total rip-off. We had leased a water softner for 8yrs and finally asked how much it would be to pay off. First, they told us $1600.00 :lol: and then after telling them no way, suddenly...

I found mine at a Health Foods Store, in the refrigerated section. Good luck in your quest, its definitely worth it!

Doesn't eat cheese :ep I have read a few recipes that change out the basil for parsley and cilantro...I love them all and I can't wait to experiment!

Yeah, I'm allergic to them all :/ The whole anaphylactic shock thing kicks in. Its been the only thing I feel as though I'm missing out on. Although everyone keeps raving about those reeses cups :P I'm eating more as I type :hide

I have a severe nut-allergy. I also adore basil and I have never been able to enjoy pesto, due to the pine nuts :( But I found a recipe for sunflower pesto! I just made it from basil from my herb garden, sunflower seeds (organic & hulled), etc. Man, I have been missing out :lol: Here is...

More spaghetti sauce from the "last harvest" of my garden. Its a fairly small harvest, esp since blight destroyed most of my plants. But at this point, I'll take what I can get :D

:welcome I know this site is great...right? :thumbsup It helps you realize that you are not the "only" one trying to achieve SS.

Yummmm...how many people could you feed with this? It seems like a great meal to have for a group. Thanks for the recipe :thumbsup

Most definitely saved the buttermilk :drool Buttermilk waffles w/homemade butter...here I come! Add some scrambled eggs (from my girls) and we have a delish, local breakfast for dinner tomorrow :drool No I didn't coat my kitchen, although my kitchen as been covered in many other things when I...

So I decided to make butter out of the cream :thumbsup It seemed easy enough, so my food processor and I whipped up some delish butter! How easy was that? Thanks for the idea freemotion :)

After telling myself, I was not going to embark on another ss living experiment...I can't help but be drawn to cheese making... So, all you cheesemakers, where do you buy your rennet? Online or what type of store would I mostly likely find it in? I live in a metro-city, so I'm not even sure...

Wow, you have made me really look at myself and my beliefs! SS living came originally out of necessity. I grew-up in a fairly well off family (car, paid college, etc). My husband ran a business (construction) that was doing extremely well. Suddenly, the jobs dryed up, the money did and we...

I just picked up a quart of unpasturized cream @ the Farmer's Market today. Now, since its a little special, I'm wondering if anyone has a recipe(s) that they would like to share, where I can really enjoy the yumminess :drool TIA!

I'm trying to do one step at a time, as well. I expanded my garden this year, started a flock of backyard chickens, began water-bath canning & composting. Yeah, I didn't listen to my own advice. But I had/am having a great time doing it all. I'm trying to plan my new steps to coincide with...

Oh my gosh!!! What a find :thumbsup

Yummy :drool

Indy here...hopefully not for too long ;) I'm ready for some land and farm animals though :thumbsup
