    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    If you were supposed to get 2 day shipping, doesn’t that usually mean you receive it in 2 days? Maybe their definition is that they send it in 2 days! 😅

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    My guess is if they didn’t send you an email with a tracking number, then yeah, scam. But sometimes they send a “tracking number” that isn’t real, or that gives a date several weeks out. (I got caught once by one I was suspicious of.)

    Oops, I was thinking today was Thursday! That’s what lack of sleep will do :lol:

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    My Presto canner Amazon delivery came at 9:30 pm last night! Haven’t opened it yet. But I woke up at 4:30 am and started thinking about what I could can, and couldn’t get back to sleep. Forced myself to stay in bed until 6:30, mostly awake but with some dozing off, thankfully. Then I came on...

    Hmmm. Now I feel the need to research the Nesco one a little bit.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Interesting. I will be watching to see if my well water affects them. I don’t drink it, but I cook with it and use it for coffee or mixing up juice and everything else. I’m just super picky about what my water tastes like.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I’ve been thinking about canning potatoes too, because I never use up a bag from the store in time before they go bad. But the price of smaller bags is ridiculous compared to 10 pound bags. So on the rare occasions that I want a few potatoes for something, I could just can the rest before they...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I have been listening (reading) to folks talking about this canner for a few years and wishing for one. Been thinking about it even more lately. I think there was some discussion on BYH. But you guys just pushed me over the edge with the mention of Amazon having it 25% off. I immediately went...

    Opportunity to move to a bigger homestead

    Sounds like this is your answer. I also think it’s great that both properties are close to each other. Live on whichever one you are more comfortable in, and put your animals (when you are ready) on your dad’s property. As @FarmerJamie suggested, make your main garden at the property that has...

    Air Fryer Uses & Recipes

    We have a countertop convection oven that has a bazillion features and settings, including air fry and dehydrate. We really love it and use it all the time. What I have realized though, is that all the different features that make it seem high tech are nothing more than whether you turn the fan...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Another side benefit we had from early neuter on our male cats was that even though they would “spray” on the house, nothing ever came out. Thank goodness!

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Get them fixed ASAP so the neighborhood toms don’t kill them or run them off. Which you probably already know. They are cute.

    Sufficient Self members with Poultry!

    I would love a frizzle just about anything! I bought Tolbunt Polish chicks last year, with a chance that some might be frizzled. Nope, none of mine. (But I still like them.) I have a frizzled satin Silkie rooster. He’s obviously mixed with something, (maybe Polish?) because he has white skin...

    Sufficient Self members with Poultry!

    Well they shouldn’t be, but a lot of breeds use different color words to mean the same thing or use the same word for different situations. Case in point is when the lavender Ameraucanas got accepted to the APA (or maybe it was when they applied. I don’t even know if they are officially...

    That’s too bad. You could totally make blue frizzle Easter Eggers with that rooster and just about any hen!
