    So I found a lump.....

    I had a lump (ended up being a cyst) but I went to Planned Phood and they sent me to a nice little program that does the exams and all for free. You might check into something like that. Good Luck! Demand the best care you can get.

    Very bad news this morning

    Thanks everyone. Jessica would think it was cool that people all across the planet were thinking of her. She was a good kid.

    Threading-anyone do this?

    And what's really funny is-- There was a free lazer hair-removal ad at the top of this thread when I read it! Those sneaky advertisers!

    Thanks miss-- fortunately I've got prep next hour so I can go sit in the lounge and chill.

    "Now Go Home and Rethink Your Clothing!"

    I make sure not to buy anything that must be dry cleaned, and nothing that requires any fancy washing. And of course everything is from the thrift store, or hand-me-downs from my girlfriends (and sometimes from my little sister who has now outgrown me--she's 14, I'm 32).

    Very bad news this morning

    I am at work right now (I'm a substitute teacher) and we just got the message that one of my students died this morning. Evidently she had a seizure and drowned in the tub. She was 16. And she was a very good friend to me and always wanted to share everything that was going on in her life...

    Seed sales are booming

    That is great--- I was just talking about this exact subject with one of my co-workers. Maybe more people will have potted tomatoes instead of potted ferns!!!

    Outside cat is NO LONGER pregnant

    I agree with Pat-- don't try to MAKE her stay anywhere. If you give her free access to chow and water in the well house, she might decide that's a good place to hang out.

    Anybody found any shed antlers yet??

    Well, the sheds are dropping like crazy in Iowa now. We've found quite a few. Three matched sets and about 10 random ones. I found a nice pair that would score about 160.

    Mushrooms.. How to store them.. Dehydrate them?? Can them???

    OH man, I would pay for the chance to look for mushrooms in Oregon. We don't have the variety or abundance that you have. There has been rumor of Iowa making a law to require permits for morel hunting. I think the uproar would be huge. I usually have enough on my own property.

    Chowder, cooking big batches and canning?

    You need to check out a book called "Putting Food By". If there's a way to can chowder, I bet it's in there. The trouble with canning things like that is that the milk/cream will probably curdle under such high temps needed for canning. If you notice the label on Campbell's "cream of...

    Mushrooms.. How to store them.. Dehydrate them?? Can them???

    It depends on what type of mushrooms they are... some dry crispy (like morels) and some get leathery (like Hen of the Woods). Some kinds just don't dry at all, but turn to mush. We canned some morels once, but they shrink up so little that we just had mostly juice and a little bit of...

    Yeast??

    Make sure you store it in the freezer. It lasts longer that way.

    drying egg noodles? will they keep?

    I guess I've never used any other flour except all-purpose. I assume you just dry the noodles out as dry as they'll get, then pack them up? How long do they keep?

    drying egg noodles? will they keep?

    Can you dry out noodles made with egg and then store them just like you would dried pasta bought at the store? I do not have a way to freeze them. Sometimes I have an egg surplus and could make a bunch of noodles to save for later. Does anyone do this?

    Canning green beans with new potatoes

    According to "Putting Food By" you always set your time for the "longest" vegetable. We make veg soup this way. Just throw in everything, and can it for the longest time necessary for whatever is in there.
