I love potato bread also! :drool From what I understand, you can make numerous sorts of bread by using potato 'yeast'. So, kinda two different things.

I have to admit I don't mind my messy kitchen. To me, it's "homey" :D and looks like it's being enjoyed. There's a difference between messy and dirty... mine's just messy - always a "project" in progress. I keep my countertops wiped down, and the dogs keep the floor spotless, so I'm good to go!

I wonder if the apples were just packed too tightly? I've had jars of green beans leak when I packed them too full.

If you are talking about a potato yeast, yes, it will keep for up to 3 weeks in a cool place (this is what I've read).

I did a Google search on this problem and found some advice... leave the jars in the canner for at least 5 minutes after processing and with the heat off. Also... "It is very common for these pie fillings to expand and exude under the seal, even if the mixture is boiling when jarred. This is...

I can understand why someone would not want to rock the boat and report abuse and fear being retaliated against. However, if everyone felt this way and did nothing, can you imagine what kind of world we would live in?

I'm thinking you may be right... for our southern climate. Our sand here has loads of phosphate in it, so I'll try your method next spring. I still think the baskets may have stayed too wet. The sand/straw will allow them to dry out between waterings.

I'd have to report him, no ifs ands or buts. This is one of those cases where I don't believe there is a choice. Anyone who abuses children, old people, or animals... they are the scum of the earth.

But would you sit in a business meeting saying "ain't"? That was my point.

The kitchen in our cabin is an old Airstream trailer... I have plenty of cabinet space, but maybe 3 feet of counter space (and the sink is tiny, I have to wash almost everything in the big double sink on the porch). Luckily I had room to add some counter space. I bought a solid oak cabinet at a...

I see this too... feral people... love that term. While there are still many many people around who observe the niceties, I'm seeing more and more ugliness when I'm out and about, and definitely the "entitlement" mindset is spreading. A small silly example (but it has stuck in my mind)... A few...

My husband plays golf... you're right... BORING! I would never think of going with him (even the tournament he played in), so you are a good aunt!

Did you grow them in a container? If so, please share your secrets of success! I kept adding compost and soil to my baskets and I'm thinking they stayed too wet, even with just once a week watering. Maybe straw (low grade folks!) will be a better option?

http://hardworkhomestead.blogspot.com/2011/08/canners-cookstoves-and-conundrums.html This is a blog I follow and she just purchased an Amish-made cookstove, not sure it's the same thing, but you might want to check it out.

Lucky you! My husband would be swooning over that many figs. I just bought a small fig tree, so hopefully I'll have the same problem in a few years. I would think figs would dry very well, but I'm just guessing.

I agree. I enjoy regional slang. As a kid, my family lived for 3 years in Wisconsin and picked up the term "excellent" to describe, well, everything even remotely good. I went around saying, "Excellent, y'all!" :D Slang has it's place though, and a business setting isn't one of them (which is...

I tried potatoes in the wire cages this year... dismal failure. :th Not sure what went wrong (they were growing great, I kept adding more soil as they grew, and then the plants all died), but I'll try again next spring. I did get one teensy potato, about the size of a grape. :D

I have cleaned plenty of smelly fishing coolers, always with lemon juice. It works great to get rid of the odor, not mask it.

Maybe a nectarine butter? Yum.... but you should be okay with jam, but I would cut out the bad spots.
