    Wannabefree!!! homemade pizza crusts for make ahead......

    My pizza crust recipe makes enough crust for 3 pizzas. There are only two of us but we like different toppings so we each make our own pizza - then we have leftovers for snacking! The third crust goes in the freezer - the raw dough in a ball tossed into a freezer bag and frozen. We do that...

    What Do You Think Is Essential?

    For me, I like bakery so I would have to have white winter wheat ( I grind my own flour), and I also like oat flour in cookies - so oats for grinding also. Oats are also breakfast food! Yeah double duty there. Also need sugar, honey, baking soda and salt. Yeast, oil and baking powder must be...

    Frozen onions will be mushy when thay thaw - they release alot of moisture when they freeze and break the cell walls.

    Is there an easy way to clean wheat?

    You guys got me thinking now - we just bought a new bathtub (Jacuzzi with jets!) and have this long cardboard box that I could use as a wind tunnel to collect the stuff that blows away. I'm going to try it tonight. If that don't work, I'll try my blow dryer since I never use it for anything...

    Is there an easy way to clean wheat?

    Thanks for the advice. I will have to try that. The neighbor just told me to try that - but on a calm day. She tried to do it on a windy day and lost all of her wheat. :lol: I guess alot depends on your definition of wind. Here - breezy can mean up to 30 mph gusts - windy means 25+...

    Solar Powered Clothes Tumble Dryer

    This idea sounds interesting. Where I live, hanging clothes out to dry is an invitation to cloth the residents of the next state! :D Hello, Nebraska! I tried it once. The amount of dust in the air from the high mountain desert and gravel roads made me have to rewash all the clothes. They...
