Hmm, just got some fresh homegrown sausage from a friend. May make some hamburger buns and give this a try. I would appreciate any improvements to the recipe with your expertise. YardFarmer Julie

Hi Everyone, Was reading some of the back posts on making cheese. I love to make my own cheese, but have only tried the soft cheeses. I'm hoping to make some ricotta tomorrow to go into lasagna. I have by-passed the velveeta cheese at the grocery store all year, but really wanted to make...

Kids in the kitchen--- love it, but........ For the life of me I can't figure out how flour ended up on our textured ceiling - actually I'm not really sure how long it had been there, kind of blended in. Oh, a great one. Asked one child (who was old enough and expereinced to know better) to...

A dowel! Love it. I'll have to go check out the scrap wood in the garage in a bit; we may have one. It's good to know that an inexpensive press worked. I'm not much into kitchen gadgets, so never can make up my mind whether to buy a better quality and like to use it better, or to go cheaper...

We get ours from the neighbors or grab them out of the village recycling bins when we can reach them. Ask around and you'll probably have more than you know what to do with. WE use them in the bottom of chick brooders and under the cat litter box. You could check with a school too- a lot get...

Thanks everyone, the Vail Bentons- thanks for the link- it has some encouraging suggestions on it BBH- would you mind telling me the brand of your tortilla press and where you got it? How hard is it topress out the tortillas? I thought about getting a smaller/different rolling pin. Mine is...

okiegirl1, Hope you feel better. You're trading time vs doing it yourself, and it does take time, so maybe buying the pots is a better way for some people to go because at least you are ready to start your own seeds and ready to get your garden in! And you're thinking ahead:). I don't mind...

One of my SS goals is to not buy anything at the grocery store that I can make myself. So tried to make my own flour tortilla shells off and on this past year. Grrr. After trying a few different recipes, watching youtube instructions, I am still frustrated. They take too long, are very hard...

Gift them back a Mother Earth News mag or CountrySide.

I know our church lends/rents out the kitchen. You're probably really watching expenses- maybe you could trade renting the kitchen for presenting to one of their groups or part of your presentation could be making the snacks/lunch for their meeting. I love your ingenuity to find a niche to...

Hi Wifezilla, Love what you're doing with your blog. Jealous about your duck eggs; our Khaki Campbell ducks stopped laying in December when we got the cold snap. We would like to start incubating some to sell ducklings in the spring, but now are waiting for them to start laying again. We...

I'm really impressed with your ad. Good job. Have you thought about expanding the cooking classes to 1) child + parent/grandparent cook together classes I know my mom is always interested in doing things with the grandkids (instead of getting things). I think trying to work with the...

Sorry to be so slow with these instructions- took me awhile to figure out to do the pictures. Thanks for all the great instructions- I'm going to check them out to see if they are faster/easier to make. Anyway, here is an example of the type I make. I hope I don't confuse you with the...

Does anyone make their own transplant pots? I started making my own last year after trial and error from using instructions from the Internet. Once you learn the technique, they're not hard to make at all. I've made about 300 already this year- looking forward to getting the garden in and...

I use the powdered version similar to the recipes posted here. We have village water and get lots of mineral build up on faucets, etc. Don't have a water softener. I think our whites are greyer too, but it could just be the age of our clothes (we use our clothes a long time), plus I don't...

Hi Wifezilla, Long time lurker here. We've started a blog about our animals and gardens recently too. Will love visiting yours, and all the rest of the SS bloggers. www.TheYardFarmers.blogspot.com YardFarmer Julie PS Anyone have experience with the Google Ads? I find them distracting...
