I wish I could find some free pallets! I've been wanting to make one of these: from http://greenupgrader.com/tag/pallet-planter/

I'm going to try this. I love onion soup on a crockpot roast! :drool We are going to have a ton of onions from the garden this year, so I will try dehydrating them to make my own minced onion and onion powder.

My boys love jerky and meat sticks. They're little carnivores. :) Marianne, rose beads is such a neat idea. I can't believe that a bead made out of roses would last so long. I was looking around online for a recipe for this. The ones I found called for the rose petals to be boiled and...

What have I been up to lately... Well, I tried my hand at making some beef jerky this week. I made honey bbq flavor, and dehydrated it in my Nesco. It turned out great! The kids love eating it for a snack. I also have been making rose oil, by infusing rose petals in almond oil. I've just...

WBF, I totally agree with your original post. Especially the idea that what is considered poor in the US is very different than what is considered poor in other places around the world. I have a friend, I love her dearly, but I don't understand how she is on food stamps and gov't paid medical...

Adorable! What are you going to use them for?

Awww, dang! At least the apples were free though. So, does apple pie jam just have apple pie seasoning in it?

Cute tattoo Abi! I have a butterfly on my calf. My grandma keeps telling me that when I'm old, it's going to look like I have a shriveled up, old butterfly on my leg.

BB, your little girl is absolutely adorable! :love I love her little pony-tail.

Well, when you put it that way, I guess sauerkraut does sound pretty delicious. :lol: Thanx for the tips.

Stephen King's The Stand was made into a for TV movie, but the book was much better, one of my all-time faves.

I started a batch of sauerkraut last night for some reason. See, I don't really like sauerkraut, and neither does my husband. But, my son brought home with a cabbage plant from school at the end of the year, so I had this humongous head of cabbage ripe, and no idea what to do with it. The...

Hi curly_kate, I grow calendula too, and I like to make infused oil and salve/ointment with it. I also use it to make a tincture. I posted a couple recipes in this thread a while back: http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9955 ETA: You can also make an infusion (tea) with...

Not feeling the greatest today. I got invited to go have a couple drinks with some coworkers after work last night. I figured the kids are out of town, so what the heck, sounds like fun. Bad idea. This is the first hangover I've had in a long time, and let me tell you, it wasn't something...

Abi, I think I love you. :drool

I've been looking for more ideas to recycle clothing. When I get the chance to do some more sewing I'll share them. With the price of fabric being so darn high right now, recycling clothing is very appealing to me. If I want to make a shirt from scratch, it gets very costly. But, I can buy a...

You did a great job putting them together SD! :)

I took a shot at the questions. I left some out that didn't apply or I just didn't have a good answer for. 1. What state/province/country are you in and what is your climate like? Wisconsin, Zone 4. 2. How many people are in your family? Marital status? Married with 2 sons (from a...

I was just laughing at your joke. :)

That's a good idea BB. I have lots of jars and bottles that I've saved. I could decorate them all cute and gift them.
