So, if I get the soap at the top (which I have), I could pour it all into a large pot on the stove and re-cook it? By the time it does this, I've already added all of the water I'm going to until it goes in the wash. So, it's a considerably larger volume than it was when I first made it. I've...

Beans and Rice is a really easy one-dish meal. Kidney beans, cut sausage, onions, spices, brought to a boil for 30 min then simmered until the beans are tender and the juice isn't watery, served over rice. Usually takes a few hours to cook but doesn't need any attention. You can sneak all sorts...

I have done that with onions too. Right now, I have sweet potatoes that have rooted and vined, pumpkins in the middle of the yard where they sat on top of a bail of hay for a fall decoration, a parsley plant that was almost 5 feet tall until I trimmed it back, I've seen the ends of romain...

I've been adding vinegar to the fabric softener thingy and I think that's helping. Also added some baking soda straight to the wash a few times and that helped. But- fo rthe white-whites, I did add some bleach to a load, it was socks and a t-stirt or two. I think too that it oculd be the...

Could be a silly question but why are the one person's posts all deleted an dreplaced with " * " ?? oh- and how often should one take this for a cold? every day for the duration? twice? three times a day?

Citylife, they claim to cough less and it clears their sinuses. I've been taking it regularly too and here's how things go down for me: wake up a little stuffy and feeling a little thick and heavy in the sinuses, I take about a tbsp of the fire cider, drink my coffee, and cough for a little...

Oh my. Even I wouldn't do that. Ok, maybe in the covered end of an enclosed run. There again, I wouldn't use rain barrells. Like you, I'd use 5 gallon buckets. ....Gives me a good idea though..... I still can't get over the price. That thing's worth at most $100-$150, installation included...

Bee, that's why I want to find the thread, wherever it is I saw it. I did find this tid-bit and it may help answer your question as well. For all I know, this is where I first saw it anyway.... http://simplemom.net/oil-cleansing-method/ Okay, so I re-read this and it says to just use castor...

Deb, thanks for the tread but I didn't see it in there. :)

I recently ran across a recipe for facial cleanser made with olive oil and tea tree oil. The only ones I'm finding on the net call for castor oil and olive oil. I could swear the one I read didn't involve castor oil, but as usual, I could be wrong. Was that on this site? I thought it was...

Dawn, I am interested in knowing what others have done with the leftovers too. I threw mine out, but now I wish I'd have kept them. I couldn't think of anything right off to do with them. I suppose I could've ground them down or put them in the food processor and made coctail sauce. It's not...

I stayed home today. That was my saving money. No burned gas and no spending. Oops, I remembered as I typed that I bought a <$10 cd online. Oh well. I did stay home though.

I think I'm just going to get the peppers like the recipe said :hide After reading more here, I have to wonder if the ground cayenne has retained any of the properties that make it usefull in the cider in the first place. I've noticed that I cough heavier for about 30 minutes after I've taken...

ORChick, thank you for your added knowledge. I guess you could say I'm writing from personal experience. Black pepper in a can isn't as potent as fresh ground; I guess that's a good example. I tollerate spice very well, so that is a factor too. I can see how a full tablespoon might be scary to...

Don't know if these uses were mentioned or not but after receiving a bunch of huge lemons recently I used the rinds in some vinegar and froze the juice in trays. I then put the cubes in a baggie in the freezer. I use them to cook with for whatever calls for lemon or whatever I want to put it in...

I've been using homemade detergent for a while now and am noticing a problem with my whites. They're dingy! They're turning shades of gray and brown-ish. I'm not liking this at all! :hit We have soft water where I live and I'm thinking this is from build-up of the detergent since this never...

Hopefully my next batch, or the one after that will be able to sit for the full eight weeks. My first batch was make in a quart jar so it yeilded about 2/3 of that. From the looks of that, if I were full-on sick and taking 4-5 shots of that a day, I'd need a full quart for one round of illness...

Can the onion be chopped or does it have to be sliced? I'm thinking surface area in the honey and that it might take less honey to completely cover the onion? Or would it be better to just use more onion in the same amount of honey? Does the ratio of onion to honey make any difference?

I set some fire cider to steep back in January too. I found it really easy to make and I sub'd ground cayenne for fresh too. So far so good! I opened it early, at about 5 weeks and I think it's fine. I used some the other day and had the same results as everyone else described. I froze all my...

No chance of that :) So, it's a success then?! Other components of this being a success: *I didn't melt my skin off with boiling sugar *I didn't burn myself, steam or otherwise *Nothing exploded or broke *All of the above accomplished while being helped by a three-year old *said three-year...
