    BACOG - Lessons learned in the the $35/week food challenge

    I wish I could be as good as Wannabefree and break down the cost of each meal but essentially what I did was buy groceries and told my self I would not eat over that amount. Last night was my niece's birthday dinner so I ate over at my mom's house for that (this is my adopted family). Today I...

    BACOG - Lessons learned in the the $35/week food challenge

    My name is BACOG and I found this forum mentioned on another forum. Will be 60 in a couple of years and am getting back to my roots. Lived for a few years on the edge of a swamp in southern Indiana. With my mother & grandmother out of the picture I am having to teach my self the old ways...

    Is it really that hard?

    Moolie, That sounds like a great baked bean recipe and one that I want to put in my Recipe book. But remember one thing I am a guy & live alone. I wonder if a person could take this recipe up to the point of pressure cooking them @ 12 psi for 45 minutes and can them up instead. Meals work a...

    Is it really that hard?

    Well I started the challenge. What I did was take everything out of my cupboard & start from zero. Even had to buy salt, pepper, & oil. I know we didn't have to count the condiments but I wanted to be as realistic as possible. The only food I kept was things that I got for free like some beans &...

    Soap & Detergents

    I found a good recipe for laundry soap but does anyone make their own shampoo and/or dish soap? Also can anyone post a link to clear directions on how to make bath soap? I am thinking the regular lye type. I tried researching it on the internet but got into some of the fancier soaps which I do...

    Foodsaver Supplies?

    I get my bags from Wally World. But be aware of 1 thing. They sell 2 brands of bags - the Food Saver & the Black & Deckers. Don't buy the B&D bags. They are cheaper but hard to get a good seal.

    Pallets??

    I use them for target frames. When it gets shot up burn it & get another one. They also can be used for fencing for smaller animals.

    What would be the proper tool for this?

    The metal can be sold as scrap to offset some of the cost.

    Sourdough???

    When I use up my supply of all purpose white I might switch to the unbleached. I hate to waste anything.

    Sourdough???

    It came out the best I ever made. The cup of wheat flour made it good. The next batch I am thinking I might do 50/50 mixture of white & wheat.

    Sourdough???

    Is it me or what? It seems like when I feed my starter with a little wheat flour it gets better action that when I feed it with regular all purpose white flour. Also the recipe called for 4 cups of flour & I put in 3 cups of white and 1 cup of wheat. You could almost see it rising. Has...

    Sausage Making Question

    I have a recipe for summer sausage that I really like. It calls for Morton's Tenderquick which can sometimes be hard to find. My question is: Is Instacure #1 or #2 the same as the Morton's?
