Well I have these really long pans. I think I'm going to line them with parchment. Fill, allow to set then freeze. I figure after their frozen a hot knife should do the trick. I just need to track down some butcher paper. g

So this morning I had to get something out of my deep freezer and ran into all the lard taking up space and in the way. I decided to give it a go and try out the grinder my friend lent me. It attaches to the Kitchenaid. So I started with the gallon ziplock I had left from last year. Ran it...

Hello, I am wondering about your hogs. How you house them, the amount of space they take etc... Is it possible that you could start a thread and tell me a bit about them? Thanks, Gina

I picked up two cases of organic seconds yesterday. Maybe about 50 lbs. I processesed them into 18 quarts of spaghetti sauce this morning. Good to see it finished. G

Well I admit I could probably push the napkins a day or so but since I'm running the wash anyways...... Doing a couple loads a day doesnt really bother me so much. In good weather I hang most of it on the line. It's the folding and putting aways that drives me nuts!!! :P

2 adults, 3 kids. Lots of linens and cloth napkins, dish towels etc.. I have to do at least 2 - 3 loads per day to keep up. g

I think most folks who have dairy animals around here drink raw. I pay an arm and a leg for raw milk at the grocery. We drink Organic Pastures. While on vacation in Mo a couple months back we drank fresh raw from an Amish friends farm. Yum!! I must admit my pediatrician gave me flack when...

Great looking crates. Are you using them to store filled jars or empty ones? Just wondering. g

From the research I have done you get much more for your money if you buy a property with existing structures. Barn, small home , well etc... As for solar, I think the most expensive part usually turns out to be the batteries. They don't have a very long shelf life. Be sure to read up on...
