I know, they are endless. If I could do it that would just be one more thing that I would know just what was really in it and one more thing that I would not have to buy.
LOL And just why not? :lau I won't be doing the cauldron over the fire pit any time soon either but I do want to try to make HP soap. Have you made any liquid soaps?
Thanks for the info. Guess I will have to leave the house and go to the local Wally World and look. (I hate leaving the house :somad). Have you ever made the crock pot soap?
Where did everyone find their equipment at? I have been looking for a stainless steel pot and I have having a heck of a time finding one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Can you use a regular glass candy therometer or does it need to be one that is all metal?
I have never made soap but I have read this entire thread and there is a lot of good information here. I just have a question (one for now) :) Which is easier to start with a cp soap or a hp soap? Or does it make a difference?
I have not had any problems with runny poo or bare butts. I have found that chickens are like pigs in that they will eat just about anything without problems. I do take them warm water in the mornings and then a warm treat early afternoon. Today they had cornmeal mush with a couple of dried out...
I could really upset the applecart in BYC if I were to tell them what treats my birdies get. :rolleyes: DH delivers gas to local convenience stores at night. He will on occasion "dumpster dive" for my birds. They have all developed a sweet "tooth" er "beak" :D for donuts. They also love...
My mom made hominy when I was small. I think she put the corn in lye water and heated it up. I don't remember how long she cooked it. She used a large caludron over a wood fire outside. I do remember that it had to be washed several times in clean water. Her hominy never had any of the skins...
We have a Lil House outdoor wood stove that we put up 2 years ago. Two words to describe it "Love It" :clap. All of the wood mess is kept outside the house :ya. Hubby went to the local sawmill and bought bundles of slab wood for $15.00 per bundle. We cut them to length and figure each bundle...
:celebrate :weee :clap :ya :thumbsup If you can't tell I am happy about your decision. Unfortunaly politcs and religion can very rarely be discussed rationally between people of different views :(
I don't know if this will help you any or not OR if there is even anything to it :idunno but, my grandma would put cayanne pepper in the water for her chickens to get them started laying after they molted. She said it warmed up their insides. I have 7 BR and 5 BA and they are molting but I am...
Too take care of that "bloated" feeling I add savory (fresh or dried) to the beans. If I am out of savory then ground ginger will also work. I don't know how much I just sprinkle some in. Maybe a teaspoon of the savory or 1/2 teaspoon of the ginger.
My heart goes out to you and to the family. What a horrible time of the year to lose someone, not that there is ever a good time, it just seems worse during the holiday season.
