    Any composters on board??

    No leafbags, no one rakes their leaves here. Not many people here have lawns, too much work for our alt/dry conditions when. Most people already use their manure themselves and don't want to share. All I can think of is for DH to bring up green waste from the city. One day, we will have a lawn...

    Maximizing heat from a fireplace

    Our fireplace heats the livingroom great. The blower on it sends the electric bill sky high, so we only use it sparingly when absolutely neccessary. Monica

    Does anyone have this recipe or one like it?

    I don't have much freezer space. I keep hoping for a REAL freezer, hopefully this year. I used to keep coffee cakes/ breakfast pastries, breads, side dishes, entrees, cookie doughs, pies and many other things in my freezer. I sure miss that. Monica

    Does anyone have this recipe or one like it?

    I will. Even if I don't find it, I will make it up as I go along. I loved this for the summer, we always seem to be soo busy and it was nice to cook all one day and have the option of just taking something out of the freezer. Monica And I loved the cost!!
