Only people who are truly self-sufficient would be happy and excited about playing with poo! :gig :lau Sorry I just got a giggle out of your thread title with all the exclamation points... Let us know how it goes... If I get goats again this is something I defiantly want to learn to do! :clap

didn't you raise pigs? and write a decent post on how to feed them? and butcher them? or articles on vet care at home? Also what about how to raise feed and butcher rabbits? chickens? basically small time farming usable for rural or urban life? What about cooking with dehydrated foods?

yeah I've done that a few times but typically most things I use refried beans in is quick meals I just want to eliminate this final step... LOL yes I know lazy but with 3 kiddos homeschooling and all the animals every second counts when it comes to cooking... I thought I might try a few...

I only canned beans once but they turned out wonderful!!! I cooked them as normal... then put the cooked beans with soup into jars and pressure canned them... we have had a nice bean diner (something that normally takes all day to make) several times now and it's so nice! I want to learn to...

Glad you are feeling better I just got over a cold myself.. NOT FUN! With rabbits I've found if you handle them from birth a lot they typically are easy to catch... many come right up to you thinking you may have a treat... hehehe but if you go a week or 2 without handling them then look out...

Hey Guys! I have a few rabbits left from my last batch and I'm expecting some new litters real soon so these guys need new homes asap or in a few more weeks are marching off to freezer camp! :D I have 4 flemish giant females born 12-4-2010. They are solid black. (some people debate if these...

I agree with that!!! even the bible foretells of many who worship God but are lukewarm in their devotion (Rev 3:16)... we are told to "keep on the watch" (Lu 21:36) it really keeps us spiritually strong if we live each day as it's the last instead of letting our love for God take a back seat...

It took a while to get any fruit (I'm impatient) but the lemon from seed has grown 3 years and just got it's first bloom! The orange, another Lemon and tangerine I got from burgess they are cheep and will send you small trees but they do have a one year guarantee and will send you a replacement...

Why not grow a few dwarf trees in big pots? that way you can put them out front and have no worries about the roots... Sure they won't get quite as big as if they were in the ground but they still produce! I have a banana, pomagranite, orange, lemon and tangerine all in pots (they are tropical...

I found an LDS Cannery a little over an hour away from me... I had hubby stop by one day when he got off work and they were closed (weird hours) but I'm going to try again... they have some pretty good prices and based on the order form I think you can just buy it by the bag...

:lau

:clap I agree with this wholeheartedly... Think about this example... If you are going on a trip and telling your loved ones goodbye... don't you remind them of the most important things?.. such as "remember to call, take care, Love you!"... Well as Jesus was ascending to heaven his last words...

what I do sometimes to add thickness and flavor to my stews is what ever veggies I plan to put in... I take a few dehydrated ones and powder them and mix them into the broth... example potato flakes, dried powdered tomatoes, dehydrated pumpkin, ect... just dry the veggies and powder them...

I got my grains a few days ago and I'm still trying to get past the funky smell stage... tonight when I changed the milk they were plumper and not as funky smelling... So let's hope for a decent kefir tomorrow :fl I only had kefir the one time and it was a fruit smoothie... so I'm kinda scared...

I got some fruit on sale the other day and so now I'm drying some oranges and apples slices! woot! house smells so good today!

I had never breed the buns in the cold before but this last batch I had breed them in the fall and we had a horrible cold snap the day they were born! It was 3 degrees the day they were born... it got cold early this year... so we wrapped up the hutch bottom and top so NO draft got in at all...

ok I've only made yogurt one time... (yesterday) but it was surprisingly easy and turned out perfect the first time... Here is how I made it... milk used: whole milk from aldi's (they supposedly don't use hormones or antibiotics) it is pasturized heated in crockpot to 150 (recipe said to heat...
