Sounds like you have the good-ole flu. Regular pain-reliever like ibuprofen or tylenol can help with the pain, if you take meds. Watch that temp though, and have DH take you to the doc if it goes too high or you don't start feeling better pretty soon. Keep yourself hydrated, and sleep if you...

Hey BB-- I will do a little check around here for anyone selling it, but this isn't really a dairy-cow area. I do know of one dairy operation nearby, but the place is literally so filthy looking I would never set foot on their property. It is absolutely disgusting. Nasty manure heaps...

No raw milk available here in Iowa :( Wow! Trader Joe's does sound cheaper, but the trouble for me is that Trader Joe's is about 90 miles away. One way. So I would spend about $20 on gas just to get there. Can anybody tell me if their milk is Ultra-pasteurized like all the other ones? We...

Abi you need to put out a cookbook. All the crazy stuff you do... I'm not that brave. I'm too afraid of wasting a lot of money on all those expensive ingredients to experiment like you do! It could be called "Abifae's Fatbomb Kitchen." :D

I was just mentioning the other day that my DH, who has some respiratory troubles after drinking milk, has less trouble with un-homogenized milk. Depending on where you are located, you may be able to find milk cheaper than at Trader Joe's, which is catering to a "high end" crowd. I don't...

What about a big pot of veg-beef soup, light on the potatoes?

yeah, canned juice just isn't very tasty. You would be better off to juice them, then freeze it. Mandarin orange pops anyone? (How lucky for you! Most of us can only dream of having access to fresh citrus).

Yes, eggplant especially need to be started indoors, as much as 10 weeks even. I find that the bigger I can get the eggplants, the less likely the flea beetles will destroy them the first day I put them out. I actually went out and bought a bag of dirt yesterday so I could start some lettuce...

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen. The only thing I can think of that is might be good for is apple butter. And I wouldn't want those silicone things in my food for hours either. yuk.

I am thinking about what I want to sell at Farmer's Market this year, if I actually do it this time. I don't have access to all the fruits and such that I used to sell, so I was wondering about maybe making my own granola or granola bars to sell. There's noplace around here that sells organic...

What's the site so we can see it too? How about: Canning, wild food, farmer's markets, homemade dairy products, growing an herb garden, heritage seed collecting, home crafts? You could interview other folks about their particular expertise, if you aren't familiar with it. Good luck!

I think that's the tactic I am trying... just quietly removing the MSG-laden taco seasoning, cream of mushroom soup, white english muffins, etc. He actually eats fairly well, I guess compared to most Americans. He was eating school lunch though every day (he's a teacher) and I don't think that...

Thanks for the update on Fage. I thought they had a "fatty" version! LOL. We don't even have a single Vitamin Cottage or a Whole Foods in the whole state. You must live over Boulder way or something Wifezilla. My BFF is there. And BB-- I don't know what he wants to do really. I know he...

Thanks BB-- I just hate to hear him in the bathroom every day taking all those pills and using an inhaler. Sheesh. Maybe he needs a gluten-free diet. I just don't know.

OH!!!! So it's really just extra thick yogurt? Well shoot, I can do that. I guess I have found my new milk brand. Man-of-the-house actually mentioned this morning that he can tolerate non-homogenized milk better than homogenized. He is supposedly "allergic" to a bunch of stuff, like milk...

ooohhh morgj, you better look out! Somebody is gonna yell at you for using a can of cream of mushroom soup! LOL! (that stuff is REALLY bad for you). I use deer in any recipe that calls for beef. That's about it. I don't like the taste of beef fat much (I don't really like meat fat much at...

ARG!! I just got back from the grocery store, and here's what I found: EVERY SINGLE ONE of the organic milks our store carries is Ultra-pasteurized except one, and it says VAT pasteurized. What's that mean? This VAT milk is the only one not homogenized, as well, and it's whole milk. And it...

I agree with you FarmerChick. I used to live near an airbase and got a huge kick out of the C130s, A-10s, Huey helicopters etc that were always buzzing around. I wish we could show that stuff without it being such a cost. If the US was living high on the hog right now, it would be great, but...

Good grief, is there nothing in the store we can eat?! I don't have room for a cow in my house! my mom has one of those bald cats too!

Yes, I do think flyovers at sporting events are like propaganda. Honoring military veterans who have served is different than showing off the military might of your country. When we thank a veteran for their service, we are honoring what they HAVE done for the nation. I think this is...
