Just got back from the farmer's market, and :weee !!! We now have a goat milk vendor (for animal consumption only, of course ;) ). He also sells goat cheese. Bought me some yummy cheese flavored with roasted tomatoes and basil. :drool He's also working on a smoked cheese with spinach. I had a...

Does this really taste like carrot cake? That is my husband's absolute favorite.

I don't think a little pet hair ever killed anyone! :D Around here, a meal is considered a success if you don't find a dog hair or two in your food.

:weee :weee My new dehydrator arrived yesterday!!!! Hubby got me the Nesco American Harvest Gardenmaster. It came with 8 trays, 8 screens, and 8 fruit sheets, plus it came with the book "How to Dry Foods" which has a lot of good info and recipes. My little Ronco looks absolutely pitiful next to...

:thumbsup Thanks Britesea. That is my idea of "supplementing", which is basically just good parenting. My parents did send me to school for the academics, I sent my daughter for the same reason. Both of us turned out just fine, with a good education, plenty of common sense, and the ability to...

As far as SS, I'm debating on taking the Master Gardener course offered here. I would really like to improve my gardening skills. For fun, I would also enjoy taking some advanced cooking classes, a creative writing class, and I would love to learn Italian. Ciao!

My original post was NOT in defense of parents who totally disregard their children's educations. Again, I was pointing out that everyone's circumstances are different, and private or magnet schools and home schooling is just not an option for a whole lot of folks. And "supplementing" education...

Is sunburn a problem in Alaska? :lau Sorry, couldn't resist.

I don't believe I said anything about pushing parenting down the to do list. I was pointing out that just because your kid does not go to a magnet or private school, or you choose not to home school, this does not make your parenting "suck". My kid went to public school, for precisely the...

Wow, I have to disagree with that one. There are many many reasons parents don't/can't send their kids to magnet or private schools, home school, or supplement outside of the school system... finances, parents holding down full time jobs, logistics, etc. I don't think a parent necessarily...

Unless you're keeping 'em in the house, what the heck??? :lol:

No, we don't recognize the person (who actually looks a little feminine - wearing a men's tank top, but the figure is kinda curvy through the waist and hips). But the person we looked up online who the police suspect is a thin, lanky guy so I guess this could be him. My husband was like a kid...

Just talked to the detective and emailed the video to him. He said if it's the person they are thinking he will write up a report for last night and put out an arrest warrant. Of course, they still need to find him.

The "pinging" is your jars sealing. You want to hear that! After 24 hours, check the lids. There shouldn't be any "give" in the middle when you press down gently. Any that didn't seal, just put in the fridge and use. Congrats!

We checked the game cam this morning and YES! We got the thief on video trying to get into my car. Calling the detective this morning to turn over the video. Made peach cobbler last night, with fresh peaches. I'm such a ditz. The recipe called for 1 1/4 cups of flour and I messed up and only...

Farmer's Market on Friday, then out to the cabin. I'll be getting the garden ready for planting at the end of September. Hopefully we'll take the boat out sometime over the weekend. Otherwise, just relaxing.

Oh yeah, rub it in. My skis were waxed and sharpened 11 years ago... then we moved back to Florida and they haven't been used since. Wanna buy a nice pair of Rossi's? :D

From experience I can say this is a WONDERFUL recipe. Even my husband, who is generally a strict mashed potato guy, asks me to make this. And don't feel you have to be limited to rosemary. Experiment!

And I'm wondering why in the world everyone has to be sooooooo darn PC these days? This is a public forum... we are all entitled to express an opinion... but it seems lately that some here are constantly picking apart posts to find something to get upset about. Just in this one thread we've had...

Yes, you can. My husband does auto and boat upholstery work and the price of vinyl jumps outrageously when oil prices go up, along with the cost of shipping. He has "stocked up" many many times in the past in order to keep from increasing his prices. We have a couple of home construction...
