"You can use this custard recipe in a great variety of ways. It's excellent for a trifle, or for a fool made with whatever fruit is available." FOOL? I had to google this. Found this bit at Epicurious. "At the mention of this British dessert, my mind races through the various references to...

My mother would make this once in a while when I was a kid. I thought the egg whites almost had the texture of rubber. I haven't thought about it since then. Ha!

This is what our family called Toad in a Hole. Just an egg in a piece of buttered bread cooked on a griddle. WW2 British called it Mock Fried Egg or Egg in a Nest. It used reconstituted egg powder and if you were lucky to still have some, you fried it in some bacon grease. 1 egg (fresh shell...

I had to google grams to ounces - 600 grams = 21 oz. Seems like a lot of meat during rationing days. Maybe because it's 'shin of beef'? Oh! Back at the top of the page, the recipes have been 'given a modern makeover'. Still looks really good.

Easy peasy - dissolve 1 tsp borax in a cup of hot water, then let it cool. I use a recycled bottle that holds approx 12 oz, so I put the borax water in it, add plain water until it's full. I get about 5 showers worth. I can't say shampoo's because this doesn't suds at all. It's just like rubbing...

I never had a great squash harvest out here. Never. And you know that usually there's a bumper crop of zucchini every year. That's interesting about Palmolive, I wish I would have known that back then. Although I now buy Dropps for laundry, I still have a jug of homemade and use that as well. I...

It's been forever since I looked at this thread and what fun!! I haven't gone completely through it, but I'll hit it again later today. I'm still cutting DH's hair, having more trouble with my own as time goes on. My dumbass neck just won't turn like it used to. I now make simple bar soaps...

Who's got his address? We can all meet up there.

I completely understand. I already gave away all my jewelry, told my daughter to sell the gold, have the stones put in settings that she liked. I'm pretty sure it's all in a dresser drawer. lol I'm getting rid of 'family heirlooms' as well. My mother died last Sept. in another state. My sister...

Cucumber beetles have been really bad around here for a few seasons. The last time I had them, I used Neem. That worked better than anything else I had tried. Years ago, a guy on this forum (can't remember his name!!) suggested I use strong Dawn and water mixture for squash bugs. I wonder if...

We want to finish this house before we put it on the market. We're making progress, rather HE is making progress along with our son who is here just half of the time now that he has a girlfriend. So, like I said, we're shooting for next spring. I agree with all the gardening tips and I was...
