    It's Just DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

    :lau I love this thread.... My pet peeve is similar to yours..."and everything else." I find that it usually used to amplify the preceeding phrase, usually something the person speaking is angry about. For instance, "He charged me $10.00, forgot to give me my receipt, and everything else". I've...

    Super Chickens?

    Idea: If the eggs are large enough, you can blow out the yolk and white and make Ukranian Easter Eggs out of them. It's a beautiful, albeit time consuming art. Or sell them to someone who does. I met another lady in So Cal and she blew out the eggs and then filled them with confetti. Her church...

    Green Enchilada Sauce

    I finally got around to making this sauce tonight. Wanted to wait to get fresh jalapenos from the local Farmer's Market. Bought the tomatillos at Safeway - not a great selection at all, half of them were over ripe. I put in 2 jalapenos instead of one, but the sauce is still mild. I don't think...

    I'm joining in - maybe I'll be more productive tomorrow if I have a list and am accountable to someone other than my DH :P For 9/20/11 1) Move remaining unpacked boxes from living room to spare room upstairs. If we haven't needed anything in those boxes after a month, into storage they go...

    Stock up alert!

    That's a good nickname too, and very accurate. It's a shame because everything I've ever read about Sam Walton tells me he'd be rollin over in his grave if he knew what his store has become. :(

    Don Maximo Soap?

    :frow Hi All: I keep finding interesting things in our new (old) log home. Today it was 3 bars of Don Maximo bar soap. The print is in Spanish. On the back of the label it shows a hand rubbing a shirt with a bar of this stuff. Has anyone ever heard of this stuff or used it? I can't tell you...

    My dog ate a squeaker toy... :/

    YAY!!! :weee The giant breeds are prone to bloat and "twisted gut" as I'm sure you know. My English Mastiff's sister died from this after eating a rawhide bone :hit I have a Saint too, so I was really worried....they are such a wonderful breed. Except my boy was bad yesterday. He has taken to...

    Best Soups to Freeze Recipes

    :) Thanks for the link! I live in Northern Idaho and have forest/meadow on my property so I should have some of this plant. When I walk through the woods I always wear long sleeves/jeans and boots so I probably wouldn't have had it touch my skin. When you make your stock, are you using it fresh...

    Best Soups to Freeze Recipes

    I've had mixed results reheating split pea soup. I like my pea soup thick, and cook it that way. But when I defrost and reheat my frozen pea soup it comes out kind of watery. I usually had some cornstarch thickener, but then it gets to thick. :hu I wonder if there's something I can do prior to...

    hugelkultur: raised garden beds that don't need irrigation

    :yuckyuck I have a ton of rotten Birch on our property. It would have to be moved to the garden area, not sure how to move big rotten logs. I could build one right where the logs sit, but what about wiring underneath to prevent gophers etc from digging through? This still needs to be done, right?
