I had mine checked at the local University Extension Office.

Last summer I bought the Presto 23. At first it looked very intimidating, and I only used it for boiling water bath canning, but when I finally got up the courage to try pressure canning, it was not hard at all. I used the Tattler Lids. They're more expensive up front, but can be reused, so...

Sweet story. I voted for it.

I just experienced Five Guys last fall when we visited Washington DC. It's a good thing there aren't any in Wisconsin, since I could see myself visiting that place way too often.

What a little angel! Congratulations!

The same thing happened at my bank. I switched, too. If enough customers do that, maybe they'll get a message. I bought my son one of those one-cup at a time coffee makers for Christmas. The box is pretty big, but I thought he would be able to fit the machine in his luggage without the box...

Hooty Creek is the name of the Inn where the recipe originated. I make those cookies every Christmas, and they're the first to disappear. Very Yummy!

So sorry to hear about your chickens.

You did a great job on those puppets! I want to play with them.:lol:

My DH did it alone. He got together with a couple of his friends - they would meet every Saturday morning for coffee somewhere and discuss the next dare. Then all the guys would go home and do the dares that week. It all started because one of the guys was trying to save his troubled...

I read it twice. Very inspiring! Then I lent it to a friend. I just realized she never gave it back! Gotta go make a phone call . . . ....

My 9-year old loves the old TV shows: The Hillbillies Leave it to Beaver I Love Lucy Green Acres The Three Stooges Lassie Mr. Ed He also likes the movies: The Chronicles of Narnia Diary of a Whimpy Kid Swiss Family Robinson

Great deal on the washer/dryer! For homemade detergent, I use about 2 tablespoons, and just throw it in with the dirty clothes (instead of using the dispenser). It seems to work best that way for dry homemade detergent.

I'm in. The past three years, all I have wished for is my oldest son to be out of Afghanistan or Iraq (wherever he happened to be that year). This year I got my wish. So now wishing the rest of the men and women stay safe and can come home soon. Besides that, DH and I don't exchange gifts...

In a closet? Or cover it with a circular piece of wood and a tablecloth to disguise as a table? And I think it might be OK freezing as long as it is not all the way full.

For the past two years, I have ordered my seeds from Fedco Seeds in Maine. I have had good luck with them. They sell both organic and nonorganic seed and their catalog is full of information and just fun to read. Their Safe Seed Pledge states: "For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and...

I use some crates to keep my chest freezers organized. It makes it easy when I can lift out the crate full of carrots to get to the ground beef under it. When I had more kids at home, I used them for laundry. As I folded a load of clothes, I would put each child's clothing into a separate...

Wow! You've been busy! It made me tired just reading this.

I never lived in CA, but visited a couple of times! You must be thinking of another Vicki. As for taking showers, we have that problem. DH works in a barn and NEEDS a shower when he gets home. I found a solar camping shower, and have it in the basement with an old shower curtain, so we can...

Around here, most of the Amish are dairy farmers, and they are required to have electric bulk tanks for milk. So they will notice if the power goes out - their milk will spoil. Since they MUST have electricity in the barn, some have a few electric conveniences - they just use them in the barn...
