I met someone the other day who will only follow a recipe to the letter and cooks meals and meats using a thermometer. I was totally stunned to learn that if the recipe called for a 1 pound chuck roast they actually had the butcher cut them an exact 1 pound roast if nothing on the shelf was...

I ordered 10 silkies, 10 blue sweedish ducks and a pair of geese from Ideal Poultry. I have always had great success with everything I have ever ordered from them so I am wondering if its something I did. Sequence of events: All birds arrived alive. On my drive home from the post office one...

Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

I had a severe sore throat Friday. Woke up Saturday morning feeling like someone had poured liquid fire down my throat. So I got on the internet and searched for home made remedies. Lots of info but decided to try a honey and onion mixiture. It said to let sit overnight but after 3 hours I...

As some of you know my DH has ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease). He has lost 8 pounds in as many weeks. He can still swallow and eat but feeding himself uses a tremendous amount of energy and creates a level of frustration that discourages him even trying most of the time. At this point he refuses to...

1st - this is not the start of a political conversation - its just a joke. 2nd - Noobie - finish your book and you too will be qualified.:lau A congressman was seated next to a little girl on an airplane so he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up...

We have been trying to get together for ages and it finally happened this afternoon. She brought me her very own goats milk, along with some blackberry jam and mulberry pie filling. We chatted, shopped at the local whole food store where she cleaned them out on the bulk spice aisle. She has...

I found this in the Wise Encyclopedia of Cookery? Published in 1955. Dehydrated banannas gound into flour. Make a thin gruel with milk or water. Eaten with cream is a highly nutrious dish for people with gastric irratibility. Also good for children and invalids. Ever tried this? Any...

At the Drs office this morning I ran across a magazine I had never heard of, Cowboys and Indians. Inside the mag was mostly ads for overly expensive western/indian type products. (Looks like it caters to the rich and famous). But the recipe section had a lot to offer from the Cowgirl Chef...

I am getting ready to can my potatos and know (or think I know) there is something on this already here but can't find it. Balls Book says wash and peel. I have hundreds of little tiny potatos, what happens if I leave the skin on? Anything horrible? I love the skin on my potatos plus these...

If you celebrated with gift exchanges post it here. It will be interesting to see who got what from their SS wish list. Edited for spelling. I am totally surprised anyone could understand that sentence. LOL

This was a head turning, eye popping moment for me this week. Some folks I know were going to file chapter 13 last year after their house was foreclosed on. After paying attorneys and filing they were told they could not file. All the bills they had been told not to pay were now way behind...

Hope no one here has any of this on hand. Just checked my email for the 1st time today and this was on my news page. http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20091102/US.Beef.Recall/

There are lots of threads here about buy local, grow your own, buy organic, saving money, and staying away from processed food. Sometimes the money issues out weigh the more expensive organic, local grown alternatives. Add in people trying to stock up for emergencies and some folks just...

Didn't really know where to post this. Since it pertains to food lables I chose here. I just signed into my AOL account for the first time to day and was totally surprised. We all know food lables are tricky at best. But this has tackled quite a few very big names. I was rather surprised...

I know I should probably post on BYC but we all know how fast that moves and what happens.....So I am quite puzzled and need input. Night before last something killed a cornish bantum hen. Ate everything but 1 foot, the head and the feathers. Last night I closed the pop door but there was a...
