I buy my yeast from Azure Standard. I bought 2lb 2 years ago and it still works like the day I bought it. I haven't been freezing it either! It's just in the door of my fridge. Spelt makes delicious bread. My grandmother is celiac, and my mom borderline so they both use spelt and sometimes...

Well I sorta figured out part of the problem with my slow growing barley. Part of it is because I have to dump all the barley into a strainer to rinse several days and this effects the root growth, which effects the grass growth. Also since I am only rinsing 2 or 3 times a day the dry periods...

Hmmm they seem to have forgotten that Alaska and Hawaii are part of the USA... :P

Sounds like a case of the Lord providing you with what you wanted but couldn't afford otherwise! It's encouraging to see how the Lord brought this adoption about for you!

If it's something you can/want to share, how did you find out about her, in order to begin an adoption without an agency?

It will only cost you $1000 total? My husband and I have been trying to conceive for our whole marriage (4 years) with no "luck". We would love to adopt but the figures I have heard for non-fostering adoptions are astronomical. :idunno

I know! I miss nasty-store-bought-flour's ability to make excellent croissants and pizza crusts...

When I first started milking it took me a while. But now I can milk two girls from start to end in about 10 minutes, and that is from the minute I step outdoors, to the minute I step back in, so that includes getting a girl, getting her up on the stand (one some times takes some coaxing) getting...

Thanks everyone for the help! I'm definitely going to have to see if I can get some lard, or I know I can by it unrendered from our local butcher, so I may have to end up rendering some myself. I do not like chemicals at all so I'll probably make up some homemade stove black. My brother made...

My brother made me something similar from an electric dual pump. It only worked at all on my Nigie girl with long teats. The one that had shorter teats we only were able to get a few drops out of. Even though we used the same size syringe bases as the Henry milker we still had to use a LOT of...

You use soft white wheat berries too! I was SO happy when I found out the differences between soft and hard wheat, and red and white wheat. Now I can really enjoy baking again! Have you found that you have to add one more cup of flour for every 2 cups when using the soft white wheat? I usually...

Mostly just for the fun of it and light farm work, sledding etc. But eventually we're thinking about possibly expanding enough to sell a few every now and then. The man we are thinking about buying some from sells them for meat for $1500. The buyer pays for them to be processed, for their...

I haven't thought of adding nutrition to the first soak.... They are currently in a sunny window near the fireplace or on top of my fridge so they are nice and warm. I also think a good reason why who we're trying to model it after had much faster growth then we are is because he was doing...

With my husband and I oranges NEVER go bad! Just the two of us ate 40lb of oranges in 3 weeks. :) We were SO healthy too!

I definitely agree with Paula, this is a formula that I would use if I needed to. I totally understand everyones points, but I think that Paula also knows that risks. I believe she is using milk from her own goats, and most people who are actually daily drinking their own milk will take a lot...

That is what we're doing, hydroponically, and it's not working out to well. I think they might grow faster when they are getting rinsed more then three times a day. Also since I have only 3 big containers to spread them out on, I have to keep them in small buckets several inches thick for the...

I love your little cabin and stove! Hopefully this summer I'll be in the same kind of place!

There are ways of making yogurt without heating it that high, but since I haven't done it yet (hopefully soon!) I can't say much about it.

When I go outside. :lol:

Our current two projects are really frustrating me. The first is to figure out how having comfortable lounging type seating, in an area that can only fit a regular sized kitchen chair? In our current apartment our living room is storage, and it's just a tiny little apartment so our table is...
