    Politicians look to separate Chicago from Illinois to create 51st state

    We DO. :) But politics and "religion" affect our daily lives just as much if not more than the weather, what we grow in the garden, or any other topics discussed. I don't have goats. That doesn't mean I think people who own goats should go to a goat-only forum. Politics, health, "religion", and...

    All things blooming...the Flower thread

    Hi All,:frow I thought we should have a thread dedicated to all things blooming. This can be a place to showcase your yard or maybe to add pictures of something you want to identify. Which flowers grow naturally in your part of the world? Which ones are natural pollinators? Which ones attract...

    Skills to know?

    Very interesting @Britesea ! That looks just like the corn I got from @CrealCritter last year. That article brings up several thoughts for me regarding this thread, but most have probably already been said. The ability to grow, dry, can, and otherwise preserve and prepare foods WITHOUT the use...

    @Britesea , is bread off the menu completely for Keto? Every time I'm in Oregon, I watch for Dave's Killer Bread. We don't tend to eat a whole lot of bread here, and that was one we really liked but wasn't offered here. I was very excited when I found we are now getting that at the higher end...

    Solutions for a pecker

    Hi @SprigOfTheLivingDead . Are your chickens kept in a coop or are they free ranged? How much room do they have, and do they have free access to food? Is it possible that a rat or other predator could be getting to your eggs? I've had this issue in the past, but when I asked, I was told that it...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    @Hinotori and @CrealCritter I've laughed about that too! :D I'm in the heart of grits country here in Alabama and don't see anyone putting sugar in it here, but I can imagine if people don't know what it is, and are trying to make it like instant oatmeal or cream of wheat...:hu No wonder...

    We like lime too, and we used a LOT of lime juice. I should've just tossed them with the pineapple. :)

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    I didn't this time. I just sliced and dehydrated. I also dehydrated fresh pineapple this week and banana chips. Normally I'd use lemon juice but I ran out. I know that when dehydrating potatoes, if they turn brown, it affects the looks but not the nutrition. Mostly they're just for me so I don't...

    Hi @creativetwinszoo! I'm relatively new but it's nice to meet you. My son got married in Mesa and they lived there several years. It's a really nice area of the country. Not far from Phoenix and not far from waaaay out in the desert. I enjoyed Mesa. Our favorite restaurant out that way is Rula...

    Elwood and family's journal of our ss journey

    @elwood I was telling my husband about your trip, and about Worlds of Fun, and Winterset. (He lived quite a few years just north of KC, MO.) And he was asking WHY you would go through KC or Des Moines on your way from Portland to Kentucky. (For most of his life, he's been a point A to Point B...
