    VickiLynn - Finding The Balance

    Man. 20 minutes? and I have a hard enough time with not bringing babies home every time I go to the feed store. And the old man who works the counter knows it. "Now Emily Anne" (He calls me by my middle name, I love it!) "we just got a new shipment of these barred rocks here, and I know how...

    anthrax acres---it is what it is

    This is how I always describe the whole going from suburbia to country life gardening - The first year we remebered to actually get everything planted in the ground. The second year we remembered to water regularly. We're still working on the weeding. :P And oh man, I wanted to have my kids...

    Fun Ice Cream Flavors!

    I had a banana split for dinner last night. Your fault. And I lost count of how many cherries went on top of the Tillamook Mudslide ice cream. I'm going to go get the ingredients for SKR8PN's ice cream today if I can. You guys rock my world. :celebrate

    VickiLynn - Finding The Balance

    I'd never heard that about the yogurt as well! And here I thought it was because of my thermometer that told me everything was really 20 degrees cooler than it really was!

    Pics of greenhouse built for customer

    I actually really love it, it's just that my five-year old daughter just happened to be standing behind me when I was looking at it the first time. I thought I'd pass along her first comment. She also wants to know why there aren't more windows, because greenhouses have "lots and lots of...

    Recipe Organization?

    I second Microsoft One Note. I even use it to organize future craft projects that I will probably never do, and my kids homeschooling. I can't say enough about how much I love this program. (Mostly to make my husband feel better about spending the money on Microsoft Office instead of just...

    Vitamin D

    Woot! I just bought some new D-3 and I didn't even think about the soy, but reading the back it says: "contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no sugar, starch, salt, preservatives, or artifieal color, flavor or fragrance." I just really liked that it was liquid...

    Chocolate/cherry/almond and...

    Crap! Not you too. There is a conspiracy on this forum practically driving me to the chocolate-cherry ice cream! Grrrrrrrrr. Maybe with slivered almonds I could justify it.;)

    Chocolate/Cherry.............

    I am never going to get my last 20 lbs off. I always leave this forum and head to the ice cream. Or go make brownies. Or look rather strangely at my black beans. :P

    Hope for the Future?

    My husband sells a lot of his eggs at work. It's kind of winked at, mostly because he works at a hospital and everyone there sees the health benefits. Well, one of his co-workers grew up on a farm and alot of our information and expertise we have gleaned from her has gotten us through some...

    VickiLynn - Finding The Balance

    I've done whole wheat in my bread maker the same way, and will again, when I can get a decent grain mill. Right now I'm in protest until my husband shells out the money. :smack I have an enormous amount of wheat and various grains given to me from my FIL just sitting here and I don't feel good...

    What was I thinking...

    Last year I just walked in the house with about 20 chicks I bought at the feed store. I told him I was only going to get "a few." He then proceeded to tell me to get a few more about a week later. :weee I love him. I think I might have to pick up a few more one of these days. Even if we...

    VickiLynn - Finding The Balance

    Don't worry, your son will come around. Give him a year. My oldest is nine and it took him about that long. He still wants all the pretty yogurts though. Of course if I mention that I'm thinking of buying bread this week because I'm just sooo busy, he threatens to run away! :D And then...

    Dirty dozen produce

    Did you read some of the comments afterwards? Holy cow...the article did not once say to go all organic, it just said that these foods were particularly harmful and gave a reason why. Oh and on more than one occasion it has been cheaper for me to buy the organic celery than the non-organic...

    butchering time is soon, what should I be feeding my hog?

    It's tagged throughout the process. But mostly, trust. You pay for the hanging weight of the carcass and then after they cut it all up you lose about 1/4-1/3 of it to by-producty stuff. This made me mad the first time. I didn't like paying for unusuable things. Just don't be surprised that...

    butchering time is soon, what should I be feeding my hog?

    Well, it has been 2 years since we did pigs last. But we just did a steer last fall at it only cost about that so I don't think it should cost much different. For a while they did start adding a "gas surcharge" as well, but I'm not sure if they do that anymore. Where are you having the meat...
