I've been looking around for kale recipes too since I have so much. I made this one last night from Joy of Cooking: I added some shredded cheese to the top when I broiled it at the end. It was pretty tasty.

Believe me, I thought of getting our gun! But we live in the city, and it's illegal to fire a gun in the city limits. I don't think airguns are illegal to shoot in the city though. I should dig the bb gun out.

Thank you everyone for your kind words :) I had an absolutely horrible day on Friday. I walked outside to give the hens our leftovers from breakfast, and suddenly this big, brown dog comes running towards me. Scared the crap out of me, but I didn't think much of it. People seem to have a...

Coconut oil can be refined or unrefined. If you are going to put it in your food, I would definately get the unrefined type. The refined would be fine for making soap, but it totally lacks any coconut scent--it is refined, deodorized, and bleached, so it is not as desirable, though it's...

Bimpnottin, selling hops seems like it could be quite lucrative, especially here in Wisconsin. I am really considering growing some, but I'm not sure how much you would have to grow to have enough worth selling. I'll have to look into it. I am interested in making beer too, but I'm not sure...

Those sound so good! I love hush puppies! I'm definately printing that one off.

I have allergies in spring and fall, and I am allergic to dogs :( This is a recipe that I use occasionally, but not long-term: 1 Tablespoon dried, crushed Peppermint 1 Tablespoon dried Thyme 1 teaspoon Ephedra powder 1 teaspoon Marshmallow Root powder (or other demulcent herb, such as licorice...

Thanks miss_thenorth! I'll have to find out what cuts they are. All he said was he had some steaks and roasts. :hu And thank you for the info on trichinosis; I had never even heard of such a thing, so definately good to know. I did notice that it said for whole cuts of meat, you want an...

From The Wild Food Cookbook:

Hmmm, no clue what this bear ate (other than the bait that was put out--cookies, cakes, and other junk). I think I will take the meat and definately try making some jerky. Can't go wrong with jerky, right? :fl AnnaRaven, if you could find some recipes, that would be awesome. Thanx!

My step dad is a hunter, and he got a bear tag last year and managed to get a bear. He is offering me some of the meat, but I've never tried bear before. Anyone else tried bear? Is it good, and how do you cook it?

Thanks so much for doing some research for me guys! :hugs You're swell. Britesea, that hops and lavender sleep pillow sounds lovely. I'm a bit of an insomniac myself, so I will be giving it a try. I think those might make nice Christmas gifts too. Farmfresh, I will definately be trying out...

I checked out a book called Wild Food Cookbook by, Frances Hamerstrom, and I know it has a possum recipe in it, but it's at home so I can't check right now. I will look tonight and let you know tomorrow though. This book has recipes for all kinds of critters, like squirrels and crows. I think...

I made them, and they are good! :drool As for nirtrite free bacon, I buy Farmland Uncured bacon. Don't know if they have that in your area though.

I know what you mean about starting something new Marianne, I have a stack of projects printed off that someday I will maybe get to. :D My grandma is going to have a bumper crop of apples this fall, her tree is just loaded. I am hoping to make some ACV of my own. What is a good way to...

My grandpa has Alzheimer's. It is not unusual for people to forget things as they get older, but forgetting recent events is kind of a red flag. Has your mother had any behavioral changes aside from the memory loss? The Alzheimers Association website might have some good info for you.

The only problem is that I'm the only one that likes the dark meat! But, more for me, right? :) Plus, they'll usually eat dark meat if I shred it and make chicken salad out of it.

Sounds yummy! :drool I wish the rest of my family would join me on the "dark" side. I love dark meat, it's so much better than a dried out hunk of white-meat chicken breast.

I don't know about making ACV, but I am currently working on a batch of pineapple vinegar. To make this one, you use the core and skins covered in water with a little of some kind of sugar added. I substituted honey.

I joined FreeCycle a few months back, and hadn't been all that impressed with it. People who said they wanted my stuff never showed to pick it up, and the offers were never anything I was interested in. Well, yesterday, someone posted an offer for free hops. I've never used hops, but I'm...
