Last night after opening the mail I did some online reading and figured the grains needed fed. I drained them and put the grains in a cup of filtered water with 2 tablespoons (or a tad less) of sugar. They are in a glass quart jar with lid on my counter. Good or bad decision??? :hu You think I...

Got them!! :weee :celebrate They look to be in fine condition and smell yeasty. Off to figure out the next step.

Even the Greek yogurt I've seen has no fat. I only found the large tub of Dannon plain to contain fat and no mystery ingredients. Not Orgainic, but it will do for me for now.

My mom is on a lot of meds, including water pill. She gets leg cramps in bed and even during the day a lot. Could be dehydration or low potassium, but some meds say that leg cramps are a side effect. :hu Quinine helped her a lot, but it is getting harder to find.

:hugs and prayers

I hate to see families break up. :hit Except for special cases like abifae mentioned, I have never seen a divorce that is beneficial to the kids. July 4th you say. Two weeks is not a long time to be in a relationship with someone. He is still basking in the newness and thrill of this new...

My poor sister would be appalled. :lau :gig :lau She is obsessive about refrigerating food fast and not keeping leftovers more than a couple days. If in doubt, throw it out is her motto.

I like the idea of a new questions list. Thanks, savingdogs. I always seem to want to know where (at least the state) a person lives and a bit about their family status. Can be nice to know if someone works/career. These kinds of things help me better understand where a person is coming from in...

I fermented my first batch after starting the scoby for only 7 days, and I find it to be almost too tart and vinegary. Seems like all the sugar must be gone, right? I am really liking the second ferment with fruit, though. I let it sit 48 hours before going into the refrigerator. One jar is...

I'm very sorry you don't have parents to lean on. How is his mother taking all this? When my nephew decided to split from his wife, our whole family was floored and never could understand why. He wouldn't talk to anyone. I did talk to his wife some about it. She loved our family like her own...

Might check the year on that camera too. :lau

Busy but fun weekend. I really enjoyed Friday with friends at Rogers. Felt like a big reunion. We (including QA here) took two carloads down and then met up with a group of friends from church and then a group of SS friends, along with a couple friends we know from chicken dealings. Over the...

:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs I'll be praying for you. Midlife crisis/stress/stupidity can happen to a man at 30. I've seen it in two recent cases that tore up two young "Christian" families. One was a case of reuniting with old friends who got him back into drinking and then into drugs. There other...

Very cute kids! Why is everyone getting bucks this year, though? :D Congrats on catching your expensive rabbit. :gig

I understand. :hugs Hope to see you again before too long. :frow

Congrats on the kids. I hope they start to thrive for you, and I hope you catch the rabbits.

Ditto that!!! Despite spill gasoline on my right shoe and having a duck poop on my left shoe, Friday was a pretty good day. :lau Wow, I didn't think you could top the potty story. :D So nice to meet you face-to-face.

But Keljonma doesn't eat poultry. :D

There is an old thread here with kombucha recipe, links, and chat, but I thought I'd start a fresh thread. Brewing/fermenting is all new to me. Seems a bit complicated and scary. :D I just started Kombucha brewing this month. I grew a scoby using a bottle of GT Kombucha from the health store...

I'm working on my first double ferment. I put raspberries in pomegranate juice in one and blueberries in pomegranate juice in the other. I can open it tonight or tomorrow morning. :D I want to try both ginger and pineapple.
