I dilute all my Dawn dish liquid, shampoos, etc. We never get just a couple drops at a time & it's a waste. Also, cut open tubes of ??? Always a lot in there when you think it's empty. It's $$$. I keep a few tubes of tomato paste concentrate on hand, big loss there if not cut open...
Most store brands have additives now. Thickeners, preservatives, flavoring, colors, etc. some of this batch can be used as starter -- if I want to make more. I've used the couple brands without & it was cow milk but, this was here. As was the goat milk. Best to use same type milk. We'll see...
And just one little item!! 50% increase.
Big gov saying just 5-10% for most groceries. That's BS.
It's why food banks are swamped. Add these crazy cuts to funding & jobs -- I see a lot of trouble for people 🥴 it's not just meat & eggs!!!
So used this mornings milk to make yogurt. First time I've used this yogurt maker, bought used 5/2018. 🤣 Like new, whoever donated to habitat didn't use it much either. But I had bought enzymes last yr, so pulled some from freezer & we're doing it.
I'll report results tomorrow :lol:
So I scored some really pretty chuck roast today. Bought 2 (one for freezer) and cringed at the marked down price of $5.25#. yeah, orig $7.96# -- which I wouldn't pay 😖 Also a # of chicken livers ... None out of date, just close. I'm thinking a lovely roast with veggies, sandwiches and a pot of...
Three days home. Rains are over for a few days and I have a "weekend" list. Breakfast first, then to barn. Milk & feed, count noses & go from there. Hens & chicks doing fine. New pullets get own home & have 2 dz eggs for incubator -- all on list😁 time to reenergize flock. Will grow out...
Usual here. Slow at get up & then out the door. Still in coffee mode, things ready to grab, then go milk. I'm pretty tired of clouded skies & rainy days. Surely the sun is still up there! Sow yourself 🌞
Another work day. Better get to chores & leave.
Rats like horseradish?? Who knew? 😂 It can be very spicy.... Glad enough root base left to grow.
Here, only hopes for a garden 😕 too wet to till. Hay field across street is getting over ripe -- it'll be stemmy. Most farmers got corn in 3 wks ago & it's loving this weather!! 👍👍 Good for that.
Definitely will go after chicks. But my ninja hens take action fast and furious! My chickens free range, my cats are 7 feral, & 3 wandered in tame. They do hunt mice but give my chickens space. In fact...leave them alone and walk right on by them.
I seem to be an animal whispering pantry pepper.
Does that mean I'm saying unmentionable things as I fill the shelves?? Or cussing about the tomatoes and bean plants they ate, or suggesting the chicken I just canned was one too many & needed gone....😱🤷
Hmmm. Lots of thought. Not what they...
