You're absolutely right! A penny saved is a penny earned

I worked...am on for another 8 mins. I'd rather be canning or in the garden, but while that saves money it doesn't make any. Where do y'all sell your canned goods? Around here you have to be inspected to get a license and it's an enormous PITA.

awww, I'm kinda bummed...I was lookiing forward to hearing your experiences. Ah well, the will be right some time! :)

You could mix them in with some tasty, tart apples like Granny Smith of MacIntosh and make applesauce. You might try a small batch of apple butter, too...once they're cooked down, it might concentrate the flavor more, and with the spices, it could end up being pretty decent.

Hope ya stayed dry! :)

Doc did the town run before that project and checked out the new health food store in Highland, looking for Bragg ACV and Kombucha. No luck with either one. I figured Kombucha was too weird for this area so I'm not suprised on that one but apparently there is a shortage of organic ACV due to a...

Not today, but yesterday I canned 10 qts apple juice, 7 half pints of vanilla caramel apple butter, and 7 qts of potatoes...all with free produce!

omgoodness, that's amazing!

Wow, congrats! I'm so envious! Hope you keep us up to date on all the goings on :D

Mealworms are going to be a project here as well, as soon as the canning's all done and the garden put to bed for the winter. I like to give my girls plenty of protein as well...I've noticed if I miss for a week or so we get smaller eggs. I give them homemade yogurt a couple times a week, any...

Here's mine: Fill a quart jar with milk. Place it in a pan of water and heat to 160 degrees, then remove the jar and set it on the counter. Put a cover on the pan and put it on a towel in a cooler and close the lid. When the milk cools to about 110 degrees, stir in 2 tablespoons (or so) of...

Pretty eggs! Look just like mine :) Wow, the going rate there is less than here...I sell mine for $3/dz but I've seen them listed for as much as $4.50, which I think is ridiculous. Even in the grocery store, the "free range organic" (yeah, right) eggs go for about $3 a dozen so I guess that...

That's awesome! I would love to get a group together locally who want to barter...it's so much better than putting an arbitrary price on something. Everybody gets what they need...how much better can it get?

Well, that's what I did Moolie. LOL, I knew what it meant, but had no idea of the conversion!

It's easy to remember...which, as you age, becomes important. LOL

It's a kilopascal, a unit of pressure. 1 psi is about 6.9 Kpa.

Found a posting on CL for free apples and peaches...and the lady even dropped them off! So got a nice bag full of gorgeous big apples and another of tiny little peaches and didn't even have to fire up the car to go get 'em.

It's my name and birthday...figured I could at least remember that! LOL

Thank goodness it's not worse. Carrying that extra weight has to add to her discomfort too, poor baby. Hope the farrier can get out and provide a bit more relief for both of you soon.

Processed my freebie Macs yesterday; ended up with 6 pints of nice sauce. About to head out to get the crabs processed for butter.
