    If we ate the way nutritionists want...

    I think it is becasue it is so carb-based. Cereal and toast for breakfast, and alot of pasta based dinners. Jello, fruit cups laden with sugar. We just don't eat like that, so it came as a big shock to his system.

    My mom got some kefir grains from me, and she used skim milk. She said the kefir was grainy and she couldn''t blend out the lumps, so she gave up on it, b/c she didn't like it. I couldn't convince her to use whole or even 2% milk. My sis, who is also a low fatter, uses 2% for her kefir grains...

    Drop in milk production?

    All my critters eat grass hay, but for milking time, I feed Caprice oats, boss, and alfalfa cubes. I did just up her alfalfacubes, but no difference yet. As per Bbrooks suggestion, I can't cost effectively give her carrots, so I have not tried that. I was just curious to knw if this was...

    Drop in milk production?

    I have had my goat since May, and for the longest time, I was getting 3 1/2 lbs of milk from her each milking. She is now down to 2 1/2 lbs. and has been for about a month. Is this normal? I plan on breeding her this November.

    What are you fermenting today?

    I made sauerkraut last week a la the NT recipe. I let it sit for three days and when I tasted it after the three days, I found it was terribly salty. I thought I had measured out the salt wrong. But I figured I could tough it out and put it in the fridge. Now, a week later, it is great. so...

    tactile/kinesthetic learners

    I am not a homeschooler, but Moolie's ideas are great. One thing that worked with my son... I had an exercise ball that he loved. He used that thing when sitting at the table doing written work. He could bounce and roll, which took care of his need for constant movement, but still allowed...

    water kefir disaster! Help!

    What type of sugar were you using? I have never had that happen. It is said that if you use honey, the antibacterial properties of the honey can kill the grains. for kombucha too.

    Can you believe some people?!?!?

    This is EXACTLY what I have been thinking about all day. I totally agree with this approach. I think this is what I (we) will do. If we need to take it further, we will do so, but after this conversation.

    Can you believe some people?!?!?

    Our property is on a corner of two country roads which arent' travelled very much. the jerk neighbour lives basically kitty corner to us. He is still about 1/4 mile away. The next nearest neighbours are about 1/2 mile in either direction. There was no one else around. I was near my son when...

    It has been crazy around here, and not gonna get better for a while.

    Just to show you the caliber of my dear wonderful husband, when we went to visit him in the hospital after church on Sunday, he was in the lounge watching --yep-- motocross. :lol: :rolleyes: My husband is an adrenaline junkie, this is nothing new to me. Hubby flies planes, races KTMs on a...
