    I've been asked to give a presentation

    Radishes would be good for people with kids. It would be a great way to get them to eat a salad if you put some chopped radishes on it that they grew themselves. It's worked really well for us. I just never thought of growing them in pots on balconies. But they only need a couple of inches...

    I've been asked to give a presentation

    I'd never thought of beets (probably because I don't like them) but that's a great idea. Gotta love a two-fer. ;)

    I've been asked to give a presentation

    on putting in a garden. I've got all of 1.5 weeks notice! WooHoo! Basically someone heard that I have a monster garden every year, therefore I should give the 1 hour presentation. It's for the women at church, a very forgiving, and knowledgable audience. Most of the women live in apartments...

    Its March....How does your pantry look?

    I feel like such an under-acheiver. Except my jam. I still have lots of jam.....of course we are just down to plum jam, but we have lots and lots of it.

    Old picture of my grandfather and his beloved chickens (maybe)

    I'm sure that some genius person (hopefully related to me) will come up with a neat little doohickey that converts all of our digitally stored information to whatever it is that they use in the future. That's what I'm counting on. That is btw a really awesome picture!

    The mentality of some people!

    I'm going to say something a bit more positive. You remind me so much of my SIL right now it's rediculous. Her husband when they were first married always had to have the latest and greatest, and their debt was as great as yours, and almost all of it was/is credit card debt. I don't believe...

    Is she beginning to go broody? UPDATE: SHE IS!!!

    I currently have three broody BO's. I just let them sit in their boxes until they are done being broody. They will actually sit on straw, though we have caught one or two actually moving eggs between boxes. They will hide them inbetween their "knees" and waddle between the boxes, two and a...

The wedding is when you set the boundaries for your marraige. That said, I gave in to my MIL on the flowers, and let her buy...

    low intervention births ( carryover from BYC)

    My first two and my fourth were all delivered by midwives. I didn't have the option for the third. Looking back I should have just "been taken by surprise" and let my emt-trained husband deliver her at home. I did deliver them all in hospitals, but I did that because I liked staying in them...

    Bathroom remodel help?

    Whenever my husband talks about "designing" a bathroom he talks about putting a drain in the middle of the floor. That way you can just hose it down. Really it's so the kiddoes can splash away all they want in the tub and not do as much water damage. He used to do home inspections, and said...

    Cherry Pie Filling

    What she said, cornstarch works too, only not as well I think. I will sometimes mix it up on the stove if I haven't done it for a while or I'm not really comfortable with it until it looks like the canned goo. That way you can also check to see if it's sweet enough for you and adjust it. I...

    Breakfast ideas.

    I don't do well on a lot of food in the morning, but in high school I ate broiled cheese sandwhiches for breakfast every morning. Mix it with a fruit smoothie and you should be good to go.

    Craigslist

    Our first two steers came from craigslist. They were the best purchase we could have made. We didn't know what we were doing, and the woman we bought them from had actually turned people down because she was waiting for just the right family to sell them to. Apparently we fit the bill. So we...
