Ok, so we were given a TON of grapes. both green and red (with seeds) I have no idea what to do with them. I'm talking probably 15 pounds of grapes. I don't want to make wine so thats out. the only other thing I can think of is jam (I hate jelly) any other suggestions?

ok, so thanks to ya'll we have changed how our family eats. THANK YOU! but, my weight hasn't changed, in fact, I'm a bit heavier now. I went to raw milk, but usually only drink it in my coffee. I drink coffee in the am with stevia and raw milk. I haven't had a piece of bread, rice or...

so while cleaning out the sun room to make room for the new hot tub, dear hubby put all my seeds in a box and placed said box on the patio outside. I thought they had been put in the old wood stove in the sunroom. so... I go out to get my seeds from the wood stove and they aren't there. After...

k, ya'll don't laugh. Ok, SHTF senario, .... hair color? When we first bought this place I found we have two old very large black walnut trees. I've only had pecans before so I wasn't sure when the nuts would be ready. The tree has these lime looking things, so I thought I'd crack one...

He put a sign up that says "MONSANTO genetially engineered crop: if for "ANY" reson your crop is contaminated by ours than we assume all ownership of your properties" how funny!

I know I should probably go to the BYC for this question, but that one goes so fast and I don't usually get as nice answers there as I do here..... so..... Ya'll know I lost most of my flock to my dog. Now I have 3 (really 2 1/2 'cause that black one just won't walk, she just sits there all...

any takers??

If you are my FB friends, ya'll already know my dog killed 8 of my 11 chickens. I'm just so upset. I cried all night. and what makes it worse is it really is MY and MY HUSBANDS fault. That makes it 10 times worse When I built the run, the gate it was really flimsy, but I knew it would need...

I have a half gallon of milk from the store (2%) that hasn't turned yet, but is pretty darn close. what can I do with it? can I make anything? I don't have any starter so can't do cheese. unless it's the kind you make with vinegar. any ideas?

I posted this on BYC, but they get a bit busy, so I thought I might have more luck here The babies are about 3 weeks old. most of their wings are feathered out, just starting on the tail feathers and some on the neck. It's supposed to be a high of 70 today. I made them a little pen out in...

I went to a Pampered Chef party yesterday. This was basically the recipe, but I tweeked it a bit. I can type out the ingredients, but since I don't measure stuff when I cook, it's a "as much as you like" kinda thing if not noted. diced sun dried tomatoes garlic, (smashed, pureed, chopped or...

We got these little guys last night. They are so cute! We started out with them in a small pond liner But I thought they needed more room, so we moved them to a larger pond liner. Those freecycle things sure came in handy

I have a clear shower curtain that the holes are ripped off the hooks, so I thought I could use it to make a small seed starter cover/mini green house thing. (does that make sense?) I have some thin pvc pipe that could probably bend into an arch, but not sure how to actually build anything. I...

..............I'm gonna grow me some taters this year!! :) not pretty and for sure not perfectly round, but it'll work, hopefully. I still have to secure the wire to the t-posts, but I had all this stuff on my property from the previous owner, so it was all free. OH, and check out what I...
