Yeah! Get ready to become addicted ;)

I'm blessed that I was able to go to church this morning and worship, and then go to the grocery store and get more bread, peanut butter, and soup (I know, but I don't have a pressure canner :/ ) in anticipation of "wintry mix" that is headed our way tonight. What's scary is that they're...

Thanks for sharing those links, Abi - that was very informative! Especially that last one :shudder: Makes me all the more determined to find a source for raw milk! Next question: what is the whole deal with nitrates/nitrites? I know they're not good, but that's all I know. (And why are they in...

My bottle of Bragg's Organic ACV says it's diluted to 5% acidity. Hope that helps. And :welcome

Check This Out!!! :weee:weee :ya :woot :celebrate

:lau :gig :lau @ ORchick, miss_thenorth, and OFG!!!

Done! Now to dig up that kefir thread and reread it over and over!

What she said! I learned on my medicine increase that I'm still not sleeping well at night, but at least I didn't go crazy in the process :lau I do feel ya Tortoise - I haven't had a decent night's sleep in over a week, and I require 8-9 hrs a night to resemble human. Not fun!!! :barnie

From the bottom of the link shared by Abi: Is this talking about WBC? Now I'm confused :hu Thanks for sharing all this wonderful info! Soy = bad (unless it's fermented, and in teeny amounts), got it! Back to powdered milk - how is it oxidized cholesterol? I didn't realize there was...

Very awesome! Sooooo - How do I get grains? Should I put an ad in "Buy Sell Trade"?

I'm trying to make sense of all that y'all are telling me (and everybody else, too ;) ), and kinda like Mr. Navajo, I'm needing some deprogramming, but I want to understand the why on a couple of things. Not that I don't believe you, but I want the proof, I guess. (Maybe I should be from...

We're just supposed to get a "wintry mix" :hide Sure would be nice to see some some like the day after Christmas, and even better if it actually STUCK this time!

Okay, before I ask how to get some grains, let me double-check that it's okay to make it with store-bought, pastuerized, homogenized milk. It is, isn't it? I still haven't found a source for raw milk :(

I haven't tried them - yet, but they say the only thing you'll (eventually) need to replace is the rubber gasket, and they do sell those separately. I don't have a pressure canner yet, so I can't can leftover soups, etc, quite yet :(

:hide I like highlighting in books - if it's only ever going to be for me, so I can go back and reference stuff faster. I wouldn't sell/give away a book I'd marked in.

Well, I'm doing laundry today, and I've decided to hang up the hang-up clothes to dry, and only put undies/towels in the dryer.

Thanks WZ - I've got to get more bacon (my bacon grease stash is nearly gone, so I don't have enough to make this - right now!), but I WILL be making this very, very soon! It sounds delish :D

I've got a friend (my Mama-2, I call her) who can crochet Granny Squares all day long - but nothing else. It all turns into wiggles and squiggles if she tries to do anything else. Me, I have tried, and tried, and tried to knit. Learned to crochet from one of those "Teach Yourself to Crochet"...

My issue would be paying the taxes come tax time :hide Otherwise, that sounds awesome!

Bacon grease? In MAYO?!? Please, WZ, tell me more! Do I use it in the proportions Abi lists above? That just sounds so scrummy yummy!
