Today our rabbit potroast had babies!! :D this is our first actually born set of fluffles!! Super excited about it :) we believe there is 6 babies, though there may be one or two more, though the babies are defiantly bigger than either of us expected! Today also bring about a first try at...

The last two weeks have been up and down to near the major extremes on more than just weather :confused: Grandpa dearest passed just before thanksgiving. For which I've had horribly mixed feelings :'( glad he's not suffering from pain and missing grandma and others... just sad he's on the other...

Phew! It has been a busy time for you as well!! Glad to hear things went well and kudos on the extra!! :DD Hmm, it may be too late to vote but I choose turkey noodle! (Simply cause I've never had turkey barley!) And pies sound divine!

Hello! Welcome from Arizona! :) :welcome

I agree with the above! Very good classes and defiantly awesome grocer bonus! ;D >,< I'm not sure on the cynide, i found it online somewhere, the poster does a few days soaking but I only do a few hours or overnight at most for the pit vinegar :)

@sumi, we don't currently make them but with how much paper arrives in the mail I feel we should! >,< we're currently shredding the paper to use as rabbit bedding :/ he seems to love it way more than the woods chips kid sis was using before! I found that log tip on Pinterest and defiantly plan...

We do live in a very toss away society! It's very sad :'( So much that would be used for something else just gets tossed is horribly sad. There are some things that just are done and no more use but way too much that could be reused or recycled or repurposed even!! Paper like magazines and mail...

That's what I like about homemade stuff :) <3 someone took time out of their day, not just a few minutes but sometimes hours or day or weeks even to make it! :D

Ooh! Homemade summer sausage?,? That sounds awesome! I was thinking of some canned stuff like jelly, dilly beans, cowboy candy or onion relsih. Maby some homedone candles and lipgloss's and some small sewn/crocheted items or candies, not entirely sure what all yet as there's 2 other people...

I think you could probably use whole cherries split apart too but i took the cherry pits (from pitting cherries for canning/dehydrating) put them in a container, however many I could and poured vinegar to top of container, shook a few times and let sit overnight or a few hours, in the morning...

Well! The end of this year is coming up fast it feels like! Twinnie and dbf and II went to a butcher class the other day and learned how to process ducks and I will defiantly say- it was much easier this time than when we had the roosters. I also know how we are going to set up for butcher days...

Stevia sounds awesome! Wonder how well it would convert for canning, as it is much sweeter than regular sugar?

I like for soda replacement cherry pit vinegar! :) lil bit goes aways too! Also could do a ginger simple syrup (or any fruit I'd imagine) to mix with water or seltzer :D Glad he's willing to work with it and try out diet change! It's a hard path, especially when depression is involved!
