Thanks for the info. And :welcome

Sounds good. Add a bit of cream after draining, and you'll have cottage cheese. Waste not, want not --- use a slightly sturdier fabric to drain the cheese (I use unbleached muslin - about a dollar/yard at the fabric store) and you can wash it out and use it again. I rinse it immediately after...

I got one a few years ago for meat and veggies, mostly. But I find that I use the jar sealer attachment much more often. I buy dry goods in bulk, and also do a lot of dehydrating, so the jar sealer is very useful. It did not come with my machine; I was prepared to order it online, but found...

Mickey ... could be I misunderstood your post; if so I apologize. But it looks to me like you are canning stock/broth for 75 min./pint. Is that correct? Because, if so, I think you don't have to do it for that long; not if it is just liquid, with no meat in the jar. Ball Blue Book, as well...

Moolie, I think TH might have been referring to the OP's comment, not yours. Baymule, if you don't have it already you might want to think about getting the Ball Blue Book; it's only about $6, if I remember correctly, and will have more information in it than the directions for your cooker...

Thanks for that reminder, although none of the present kitties have any desire for such things. My old boy lived for a healthy 16 years, but he only got raisins occasionally. What he was really crazy for was asparagus, and would beg for it every Spring. And every year I would hold a spear in...

Give them their own time to grow; it may take them awhile to get started, but they will grow in time. Tangerines? And I thought my old cat was weird for liking asparagus, melon, and raisins. And one that I have now begs for bits of gingerbread cookies at Christmas :lol: Homemade miso soup...

Hinotori - How awful for your mom! I can't even imagine. Luckily I am not allergic to anything. It might be better if I were; I'd be more motivated to avoid things ;). No, no - I didn't really mean it! I really am very lucky, and I know it. Another thing in my favor is that I weaned...

Definitely time to give them more milk to work with. Mine are in full kefir mode, and I have about a pint of buttermilk-like kefir every morning. The chickens are getting some, I am getting some, and the cats have been offered, but have so far refused :lol:. The grains themselves don't look...

Many thanks to both of you. Those both look like very interesting sites, and seem to have very usable information. Playing this carbohydrate game "by guess and by golly" is only keeping my weight more or less static. With this information I hope to get rid of a few pounds. :)

Anyone else trying to cut down on the carbs? And, does anyone have a good resource for determining the carbs in various foods - specifically whole foods. Somehow it just isn't helpful to me to have it suggested that I should just "check the label" :rolleyes:. Most of the things I cook don't...
