    Thickening agent?

    BBrooks, my problem wasn't so much the lumps as it is that I can NEVER get it to thicken. Ever. Miss_thenorth, my mom successfully uses AP gf flour mix to make gravy and white sauce- uses it just like she would regular flour.

    Thickening agent?

    I can't make gravy to save my life if I use regular flour :hide, but hand me some stock, some milk, and some cornstarch, and I am good to go! So mine isn't about going gf, just ease of use :hide

    homemade kefir and yogurt help me out....

    Update - night 2 swap out, it didn't stink, but it didn't smell good, either. The kitties enjoyed it again. Night 3 swap out (last night) there was a good layer of whey(?) at the bottom, and a layer maybe 1-1/2 - 2" thick of really THICK curd(?). I poured it into a bowl, and fished through it...

    turning pants into a skirt (aka - Abi! HELP!)

    I have, and the one I posted the link to is the ONLY one I was able to find that leaves the jeans full length. I was definitely planning on pinning/basting before cutting anything off. I do plan to start by just opening the inseam, and then seeing how much of the crotch seam I really do have to...

    Fructose Malabsorption--have you heard of it?

    So that's an Autistic/Asperger's thing, and not just a "why does my little boy eat me out of house and home?" :D Whoever said ADD meds make kids lose weight didn't give it to my kid with Asperger's (which tends to make medicines have different/weird effects) :he

    turning pants into a skirt (aka - Abi! HELP!)

    I was thrilled to walk into Old Navy yesterday (their jeans fit me best) and find not 1 but 2 pairs of these jeans IN MY SIZE on clearance! (I only paid $11.98/pr in the store!) I've been toying with the idea of doing this for awhile now (with a panel in both the front and back, though)...

    homemade kefir and yogurt help me out....

    Great to know that they'll thicken over time. And who knows - maybe it'll stink to high heavens when I open it up tonight :lol:

    homemade kefir and yogurt help me out....

    I just started my grains 2 nights ago :woot (Thanks ORchick! :hugs ) The outside kitties are loving this new experiment of mine ;) 1st night I just put 'em in a 8 oz mason jelly jar with about 6 or 7 ozs of milk and set it on top of the frig. The milk hadn't thickened up any last night when I...

    Immunization Records Question

    Oops! Pertussis is what I was meaning as to why they're offering it free - nasty ol' whooping cough. I realized that about 2am, and didn't want to get up and edit my post :P edit - but it IS a Ttetanus, diptheria and pertussis all is one vaccine

    Would I be a bad mom.. UPDATE

    What Abi said. I know more than once in my teen years my Mom sat me down and told me plainly that she raised me better and I'd better get my act in gear. Usually worked at least a little bit.

    Immunization Records Question

    For the TDap, check out your local health department. I had to have proof of it in the last 10 yrs (meaning I had to go get stuck) when I registered for school. B/c this is a "new" version of the shot - it includes the diptheria vaccine, too, something us adults haven't had since we were like 6...

    Clotted Cream

    I'm sure the answer has something to do with our modernization of stuff, but why does my cheese go moldy in the frig? (And yes, I just scrape it off, and use the rest of the cheese anyway ;) )

    So it's NOT a good idea to can butter and cheese?

    Homemade Fabric Softener?

    Thanks - another take on that last idea: we had a Tupperware lady come do a demo in our home ec class back in the day when I was in high school. One of the alternate uses/suggestions given for their pickle container was that very thing - dilute the fabric softener, cut sponges in 1/2 or 1/4 and...
