I husk and clean them, blanche them, let them dry and freeze. To cook, just boil until done. They're great!

This is probably a stupid question, but where in the world would I get "beeswax"? I'm assuming coconut oil is at the grocery store with the olive oil (not sure as I've never looked for it so don't know that it's there). Is there a place to get the essential oils? I'd love to make this and...

To me, it matters not how the pledge started. It has evolved into a symbol of respect for the country, at least in my opinion. It is a pledge to stand for what each believe the country should be. It is a show of respect, much as opening a door for somebody older and/or a man opening a door...

Okay I thought it was just me when I went into Goodwill and the thought crossed my mind that it seemed a lot more expensive than the last time I had been there, or I thought perhaps it could just be in Texas it's more expensive than Pennsylvania, but i didn't think that was possible either. I'm...

I'm a Yankee that moved to Texas and you want to hear some weird sayings ... :lau I can't say I've ever really heard the redundancies you're talking about, but I'd have to bite my tongue in half not to saying anything ... but then again I AM a Yankee after all :gig

How about selling "free range eggs"? I know the store bought eggs here are $1.79 a dozen, so selling the free range even for 1.50 a dozen might generate some income. I've also seen fertilized hatching eggs for sale. You could do that for both the buffs and the ducks maybe. If you're crafty...

After reading what you get accomplished in a day, I'm exhausted!!!!! We're currently in the process of trying to figure out where to put the garden as where I wanted to move it, there is a water line that we can't figure out where it goes, but don't feel like screwing anything up! The new...

So sorry for your loss! :hugs I swear the sweet ones seem to know their time is limited so they make the most of it!

I had a labrador that ate so many different things that when I called the vet and said "this is <insert my name here>" the vet's office automatically said "what did Simba eat now?" He even learned how to open the refrigerator and cabinets, including the ones over the counters and could get...

I worked in a surgeon's office in Pennsylvania when the unthinkable happened. I remember the surgeon come running into the office in full scrub gear (he had just gotten out of surgery) and running to the back room to turn on the TV. We watched as the second plane hit the towers and the...

My mother once told me the best way to handle kids is "they only have to THINK you're going to kill them". Now, with my daughter, she gave me lip about that age and informed me that the police would get mad if I smacked her :/ After leaving to go outside and giggle at the very serious nature...

We're okay in north central texas, other than the drought wreaking havoc on the livestock and hay industry. We had a small fire at the neighbor's field but fortunately the fire department was able to get it under control quickly. I hope everybody is doing well and will keep them in my thoughts...

They are beautifullllll! I would LOVE to figure out a way to use my daughter's ribbons from her horse showing days and make a quilt for her, but now sure I could use the silk ribbons? Suggestions?

Ohhhhh I love this thread!!!! I have been thinking and thinking and wondering how to start a quilt and wah lah here is this thread! Okay so first .... get material and cut into squares and I can do it without using that intimidating looking sewing machine that i swear is possessed :ya

It's really just THAT easy? I tried drying flowers and failed absolutely miserably :( I was thinking of converting my flower bed that goes around my porch to an herb garden, but was scared because I wasn't sure I could use all of the fresh herbs I'm sure to get. Now I'll comandeer two screens...

Sooo many good ideas! I need more screens now! Thank you all for all of the suggestions... we're going through what we can do that would be best right now. We did make a little broody chicken place within the big coop that worked out good so far, she gets privacy without moving her to...

Which wormer did you start out with? I'm trying to figure out what to buy but everything is for horses, not goats :barnie

I've been seeing how many people dry vegetables here, but as I have just started canning, I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew by adding dehydration to the mix. I will definitely have to start research how to dry veggies! My garden is so big that it would take probably 4xs the...

Prayers sent your way. I made a promise to myself that I am going to be done with the cigarettes by the end of the year. THe question is how to start quitting. Cold turkey hasn't worked for me so far, so I figured attacking it from a different angle is probably my best bet. Yesterday I wrote...

So my landlord is very congnizent of how we tend to make stuff out of old things that are generally thrown away, so when he got his windows replaced, he brought us a bunch of old window screens. Now, to figure out what to do with them? Thoughts? Suggestions of where to go to find plans to do...
