Wha...???? Seriously, Denise? :ep I'm reading Pottenger's Cats and Nutrition and Physical Degeneration right now and although I already am quite familiar with the concepts of the books, I am still flabbergasted that they were written so long ago and yet the information was so ignored. :th

On Tuesday my 50 meat chicks arrived....for $62 including shipping! We actually got 52, one died so far but all look great. I think I will be raising this batch for free....hopefully! We have lots of stuff for them, starting with the organic cracked wheat that we got free, and graduating to...

The Sapphire flour links from my google search were taking forever to open, but I could see enough in the brief that it is a basic unbleached white flour. Avoid it. It is also from ConAgra Foods, so will be loaded with pesticides and herbicides.

Found this: This will be a good bread flour. Better would be organic. Can you get Wheat Montana stuff?

I am not familiar with either flour product, but get a whole grain product that doesn't contain any non-grain ingredients or anything that starts with the word "enriched." Arrowroot powder can be found in a health food store that carries Bob's Red Mill products or bulk products. It is a good...

If you like a stronger wheat taste, go with the red, if you like a mild taste, go with the white. You'll likely have to cook it for longer than the commercial Cream of Wheat....but that is a guess, since I don't eat it in either form....an overnight soaking would speed up the cooking time, too...

I have a different view of Sally's book. But that opinion is based on reading MANY sources, not just her book. I've read her book cover-to-cover 2 times and portions of it many times. She clearly states that many of the methods presented are modernized updates on some of the methods...

Hee-hee-hee...... :D

How big do they make those boxes? :P

You all know Mya. She is for sale. I must reduce my herd by winter as I am now in school again and just need the time and the money and she is rather productive! I am sure she will milk through. She was giving 2.5-3 quarts a day after a solid year of lactating when she was accidentally bred...

Sounds pretty normal. If you can get alfalfa in your hay you might get her up a bit, maybe, maybe not. I got a bale of grass/alfalfa mix and fed a couple of flakes to the four does last night since it was raining. This morning, Mya was about to burst! Everyone else was pretty normal. Mya is...

Ha! We said basically the same thing at the same time, Java! :P

Feel free to come here for group therapy when you get overwhelmed when you read the book! I was at first. Of course, you've had some months to preview its contents and ideas here on this forum. Do read it cover to cover, except all the recipes, of course. Read the opening pages and the...

A Griswold Dutch oven with a lid is well worth $45!!! That you got four and the other three were less......where is the green with envy smilie? :P

You also need a reliably cool cellar for those smoked and salted meats. You can't keep them in hot weather...cool cellar only. They also used to fry up the pork chops and steaks and pack them in a barrel with the rendered lard, making sure there were no air bubbles and all the meat was well...

If you can find an antique one with a lid, snap it up! I have both Lodge and a variety of antique brands, and ALL the antique brands are better than Lodge. Don't get me wrong, my big frying pan is a Lodge and I use it a LOT. But the smoother surface of the antiques make them more non-stick...

I'm not sure how many are in your family but we can easily eat 8 eggs a day between the two of us. Not every day, but with breakfast and some for lunch or supper on occasion, 6-8 eggs go fast. If your hens free range on grass and in the sunshine, the eggs are healthy to eat in quantity. Even...

I admit I haven't been following this but the title caught my eye. Have you read Nourishing Traditions yet? It is not a vegetarian book, but will help you create a healthy vegetarian diet. Just skip the chapters on meat. One thing that really helped me (still have bouts, but I am no longer...

That sounds about right. A tsp of grains. I use a quart when I need more kefir, a pint when I need less. Same grains. Mine are in a growth phase right now, which is great. When the air gets a bit drier (it is very humid here now, when we start using the wood stove, it will be perfect) you...
