My favorite Christmas cookie (at least that's when I always make them) is Cherry Winks. I figure they would be more expensive to than most cookies because they have cherries, dates and nuts in them. Oh boy, they are good though! Second to that would be anything with lots of chocolate. Then...

I don't see why they would care if it were grown organically or not. What a stupid excuse. Who knows what's in the junk they already serve in the classroom. I guarantee you that stuff was not grown organically. The kids are missing out on a very important and motivating part of the whole...

What a cute house and a good price too. It looks so sunny and cheerful. That's what sold me on my little farmhouse we live in now, lots of nice views out the windows and sunshine, even in the winter. Does the doggie come with the house? j/k :D He is quite the little salesman.

I bet it would! I'll be sure to show this to DH. We don't have a 4 wheeler, but maybe the riding lawnmower would work...

Is she a Cornish X? In that case I would. They have leg problems and heart problems if they get too old/large. They don't have much quality of life because of their heavy gain. That's amazing she will roost! If you don't mind feeding her, whether or not she contributes to your homestead...

If it's an absessed tooth, I found applying a baking soda/salt poultice to the gum area works great to draw out the infection. Mix half and half salt/soda, dip a lightly moistened piece of cottonball in it and stick it against your gums and leave it there at least an hour or overnight is best...

Wow, I never imagined it could be done so cheaply! I expected it would cost more than that. Hmmm. Don't tell my DH or he'll be all over it! He dreads butchering day! :lol: I could definitely see taking it to the Amish. We live near the border of SW Ohio and they are nearby. We purchase...

That's amazing--it looks just like a pomeranian! What are the dimensions, just curious? Maybe you could use seed beads for eyes. I have a chow mix with fur like that, you could shear her twice a year and make yarn! :lol:

Awww... LOVE new puppies! :love And puppy-breath! It will be a long time before we see any around here though. My two are 9 and 12 and wouldn't take well to a newcomer. I also hate the thought of parting with the dog-children I have. I wouldn't trade them for anything. :P

If mine get really cruddy, I clean them in the woodstove too. I've never had a problem, but I also don't put it in a BIG fire, just a small pile of coals, and I have to let the fire go out to retrieve it! They come out squeaky clean and grey, not black anymore (until you re-season it). I've...

Great job on your quilts, MorelCabin! I love that Star of Wonder quilt too. Did you do the words on your Sparrow quilt with an embroidery machine or are they stenciled? It is beautiful, such soft colors. What a great gift for your dad! I love the look of a quilt and have a few very old ones...

When you make extra payments or even just add a little extra onto your usual payment (and particularly if you specify it as a principle payment only) you are screwing the lender out of interest money they were planning to make off of your loan. However, this doesn't incline them to do you any...

I would set back an emergency savings first, about 6 months pay. That way if something happened (job loss, sickness, etc) you would be able to continue making your house payment until things got back to normal. Paying extra on your mortgage is good, and you should do it once you have that...

That's awesome! Love your fabric!

For real? There's a law? Somebody better warn my MIL then! She still has canned goods (store-bought) from '95 on her shelf. When my FIL lost his good paying job in the mines and things were tight, she went dumpster diving for coupons (which is pretty cool actually) and STOCKED UP. :D She...

You might want to take a look at Herbal Healing for Women, by Rosemary Gladstar. She has some very good recipes for herbal teas and other suggestions for dietary recommendations for women based on age group. I have the book in my collection and get a lot of use out of it. Nettle is supposed...

I just use a light syrup too. But I'm sure if you wanted to, you could add any spice you wanted, like cinnamon. Or other fruits like cranberries or blackberries, to get a different flavor on them.

One I forgot to mention...culling my flock of chickens down to the best layers so I have less free-loaders to feed over winter! Did up 7 older layers yesterday, then cleaned out the coop once more for winter.

:barnie I just picked up a bag of those stupid peas yesterday because I had a coupon for a free one! Thanks for posting... I don't think I would have heard about it otherwise.

Things suddenly get more windy up on our hilltop too, Asian lady beetles are starting to show up, now just waiting for a first frost. Gotta batten down the chicken coop. Bring all the firewood around back and stack it. Clean out the garage a bit so the cars can go in. Bring out all the...
