I will have to look up the references, but a couple of years ago when we were fighting against the county putting municiple water down our street, I did a lot of research and if I remember correctly, the United States is the only country that puts fluoride in its water system. There was also...

Sunday was beef stroganoff with noodles and an awesome zucchini dish. DH found two surprise zucchinis on the bushes we thought were done for. I sauteed the zuccs with chopped onion in a little butter and added chopped tomatoes. When zucchini was tender, I added salt, pepper, dill and grated...

I think just sums it all up.....

That is the best picture I have EVER seen!!! I showed it to a couple of people at work and they just looked at me. I thought to myself...yeah, you don't get it because you ARE the zombies!

Casually asked someone what they were going to do with the pears on their tree. Was told nothing, you can have them. DH picked 10 five gallon buckets of pears today. Traded two bucketfuls to his uncle for a huge bag of garlic, three eggplants, two heads of cabbage and six rhubarb crowns. I...

Working in higher education, I strongly believe in higher education and encourage anyone who has an interest to pursue it. I believe in being a life-long learner. I also believe that a 20 year old is a grown adult and not a "kid". I believe in supporting people who are trying to better...

Yes. We also just got a postcard that on September 17 they are going to do their potato dig. 15 cents per pound, they dig and you pick 'em up.

The Ball Blue book still says to waterbath. They have always been my "authority".

Yep, about 13 hours worth!! Only lost two jars - one that cracked during processing and one that seal but lost a lot of liquid. Never had that happen before and didn't want to take a chance so I dumped it. I only had one jar that didn't seal so just stuck that in the fridge.

We just had a scare with my son - suspected appendicitis (thank goodness it wasn't). Got the explanation of benefits from the insurance company, over $4300 just for the CAT scan. I am blessed to have very good insurance with a small monthly contribution. I am concerned however because at...
