Oh, we definately had enough tomatoes this year Lesa! Wish I could share some with you. I still have 5 boxes of them ripening in my living room! Just to warn you, if you are looking for a recipe that is just like store ketchup, this one may dissapoint you. It is delicious in my opinion, but...

Can I still join in?

Farmfresh that sounds good, I'll have to try that one! I don't have any granola bar type recipes , but my favorite snack this time of year is pumpkin seeds. There was a sweet and salty recipe that I made last year, it was so good! I don't have the exact recipe right now, but I can remember...

:gig Yeah, Milwaukee is like a whole other world. I hate it when we get jobs down in that area!

I thought the unsoaked grains also prevented your body from absorbing certain minerals, which could cause other health problems like bone loss, depression, anemia, allergies, etc...

Too true! :lol:

Thanks framing fowl for sharing that link to the buying and selling thread, I will definately read through it! I posted the ketchup recipe in the kitchen section. :)

We got this ketchup recipe from a book called Homemade published by Reader's Digest. There's all kinds of recipes in it for food, pet food, cleaning supplies, etc... It's a pretty good book for us SS types. We just keep the ketchup in the canning jars and use a spoon to serve it, but you could...

Seems like there is a lot of tension on this forum lately. I'm almost afraid to post sometimes, but I'll chance it in my journal today. :) We've been harvesting a lot from the garden. Popcorn, onions, pumpkins, potatoes, black beans, and sunflowers. Wow, did our potatoes ever do wonderfully...

My mom's neighbor has some crabapples that I could take, but I wasn't sure what they can be used for. Are pickled crabapples good?

I have an old dresser that I use to cure my soap in. Since they're in the drawers, they stay protected from dust and stray hairs and stuff. Works out pretty slick.

I tried my fermented pickles this morning...YUM!

Wow, what a freaky day. That's horrible about the shooting. Wonder why he did it?

I loved your pics! Looks like so much fun, fall is great!

I have found that the youth groups in our are are fading away. Cubscouts, 4-H, groups like that. Sports on the other hand is a different story. That's what kids want to do now. I have been working for a masonry and concrete construction company since 2006. I'd have to say, our biggest...

Hi krisac, I'm sorry if I sounded like I was implying that you were being stupid, I certainly didn't mean to come off that way. :hugs I guess I was just looking at it from my perspective when I first started making soap. I didn't understand SAP values or lye calculators either. So, I checked...

I think this is good advice. I wouldn't mess around trying to change amounts and proportions. Just find a recipe that is tried and true and stick to it. Once you are more experienced and get the hang of it, then start experimenting.

I was thinking of dehydrating some too. Does it shrink a lot when dried?

You can use the roots of California poppy to make a tincture: 1/4 cup dried california poppy root, chopped 1 cup vodka or rum Combine in a jar, allow to steep for a few weeks, strain out root and discard. I store my tinctures in small bottles with lids that have droppers on them. I use about...

The more I'm researching it, the more I'm leaning towards just blanching and freezing. It seems the easiest. I am in Zone 4 in central Wisconsin, so I'm not sure if I will be able to overwinter kale or not. We've had a couple hard frosts now, and it still looks very healthy and keeps growing...
