    What's for dinner?

    sure, it's fairly easy, 8oz cream cheese (don't warm it up), 1/5 - 1/2 a can of sweetened condensed milk, 1/5 - 1/3 cups (or a tad more) of lemon or lime juice (i suppose you could use orange juice if you wanted but i like lemon or lime best). start by putting the cream cheese in a deep enough...

    What's for dinner?

    yesterday i made two versions of no bake cheesecake filling (we don't like crusts so we just tuck it away in containers and have it like pudding) one was lemon and the other was lime. i was tempted to make a third of lemon and lime but didn't go that far. the lime version i used fresh lime...

    the little wild kingdom

    life has certainly changed over the years when it comes down to weather forecasting. that is, yes, it is winter, yes it gets cold, do i really need to be warned about that as an emergency alert or whatever? it isn't what i consider news worthy or even alert worthy. sunshine and cold today...

    sorry to hear about the loss of the baby, perhaps the stress from cold was enough?

    What did you do in your garden today?

    my garden is inside at the moment and consists of two amaryllis bulbs (that are dormant), but now that i've repotted them and put some water on them they'll start breaking dormancy and growing in a few weeks to a month and eventually they may even bloom. i already have plenty of pictures from...

    The Freeze-Drying Thread

    i can't eat many eggs, but the color difference seems clear to me. they may taste ok. i'm not sure freeze dried work the same way for being used in baking cookies, cakes, desserts (that's 99.9% of where we use eggs)? my favorite way to eat eggs is pickled. :) i can't eat many of those...

    How we went from forest to food production

    it's a very nice setup. :) you may find out after a while that having many smaller raised beds is more work than keeping a bigger space. all those edges hide weeds, critters, etc. i've been combining smaller gardens into larger gardens and they are much easier to take care of... i also...

    the little wild kingdom

    i got the worms set up today in two buckets so they can begin chomping on some of those bean pods and all the dried food prep scraps i've been saving. i'm not planning on doing any more than two (we'll see how this goes :) ). as part of that i got the amaryllis bulbs repotted so i could use...
