I make almost every day my own version of Sally Fallon's raw milk tonic. It's really tasty and we feel SO much better when we have at least one a day. Milk version: 1 T Blackstrap Molasses 1 T Raw Honey 1 t cocoa or carob powder (much prefer the cocoa but the carob needs to be used up!) 2 Raw...

So long as there is tiny white clumps it's done "enough" Sometimes I never get thick kefir although I never changed a thing. It's just one of those things. :/

Oil pulling is a great addition to your daily teeth regimen. I saw a lot of positive changes while I was doing it, and absolutely loved that, just-went-to-the-dentist clean feeling it gave my teeth. I always used coconut oil because any other oil tastes too much for me, and coconut oil has so...

You won't kill them by separating them. I use 1 tbs of grains per quart of milk because I like mine done in 24 hours rather then 48. :) If you have days where you forget to "harvest" the kefir, the more times you forget, the yuckier your kefir will taste. So be careful not to let it go too long...

When you stir it, is there tiny little clumps of white on what you stirred it with?

We're having April showers here, it's just in a different form. :lol: Snow predicted for the next 3 days. :rolleyes:

I try to keep up with mine because it's good for them. That said. I haven't really done so. I last clipped them at a really weird warm up over Thanksgiving week, and haven't clipped them since, since it's too cold for me to spend several hours outside trying to clip frozen hooves. I was just...

One of the biggest motivators to dress modestly for me is the fact that I don't want men thinking about me in the way my husband does when he sees me in something sexy. I wear plenty of sexy things just for my husband. But for him only, and only in the privacy of our home. The thought of...

Sounds good! Keep us updated on how the herbs work! My animals were low in health but not as bad as yours, I'd love to see how well they respond. :)

We're pretty adventurous eaters. But I do have to remove the chicken feet from the stewpot before DH finds it and gets grossed out. :gig One of our favorite meals is liver. Especially moose liver. I rarely buy meat. We mostly live off of what the great state of Alaska provides for us, or what...

I have a "garden" apron and two "house" aprons. That pretty much keeps yucky animal stuff away from my kitchen.

Exactly my thoughts. :thumbsup It's sad, but kind of funny. DH's grandmother was trying to tell him that he was being domineering and that I didn't have to be a submissive wife yada yada. But the funny/sad thing was that their home was SO full of strife and bickering. She was always arguing and...

I know very few who's husbands order them around on style. My husband is not ones of those. But I do dress to please my husband (and myself, if he likes it but I don't, then I don't wear it) is just another way that I can give more to him. I read shortly after we were married that a wonderful...

I'm trying to get into the habit of wearing my apron around the house. I'm so messy that my clothes get stained really fast if I don't. :P I agree that we need a pic!

I get that too. And it's exactly the same here, I do not have to confer with my husband with the big decisions I make, but I do because he is much wiser and level headed then I and it makes him feel.... I can't come up with the right term, but it means a lot to him that I desire his input on...

It's definitely womanly to have larger hips. Mine are just a bit too big. :P I LOVE the belt too, I'm 1/16th Irish, and ever since anything Irish/Gaelic captures my attention. :)

Eventually someday I plan on making one myself. I was just going to make it smaller (1 and a half yards I think it was) so it doesn't need the puff of the petticoat. The only problem with that style is that it emphasizes the fact that my hips have some "fluff" that needs to come off. :rolleyes:

I think someone mentioned a while back a need for something that would be ok to wear today, but looks old fashioned? This is on my wishlist. Every now and then I open it up and drool over it... :lol: ETA: I take that back. This is the one I drool over. This just screams "me".

I'm not quite sure what Germanic Baptist style is, but if it was just me too I would just for the sake of ease I would be wearing cape dresses like this one all the time. But while he likes this dress he doesn't want me to wear a bunch that look just like that I think he likes my various...

I've wanted to, I really like the leggings with the really long top look that is popular now, but DH is not a fan of that kind of style. Oh well. I love my long flowy skirts too. :D
