    What are you DEHYDRATING today?

    I scramble them then spread them on the dehydrator trays. When they are very dry I grind them up and vacuum seal them in a mason jar. We've been using them for baking and when we go camping. I've been been mixing them at 2tblsp mix to 3tblsp warm water per egg. I figure we'll use most of it...

    Cooperation among your neighbors?

    Were the same way. All our neighbors will wait for Fema and think were foolish for having chickens and a garden. We've made it a point to tell them when they ask for stuff that the heat has pretty much killed the garden and the price of chicken feed has caused us to sell the birds. The garden...

    Warm Ground Beef

    We have never cooked "bad" food for the animals, cats, dogs or birds. I've seen what they eat when they find their own snacks and nothing in my house is that rotten!

    I need an Arizona person...

    We did Yellowstone a few years ago for the Fourth of July. After a brief rain shower it got down right cold. Had to go back to camp and change into pants and grab a sweater.

    bears

    I've never had bear before. We went camping a week or so ago and on the way home we passed a HUGE golden brown bear. It was sitting on the side of the road and I thought it was carved from a tree stump until it started to run up the hill. We went back and looked at the tree it had been next...

    Missing turkey

    If a 5 1/2 foot wall didn't stop the dog I very much doubt adding a strand of wire will help. We are in the desert and a good ground is hard to get. I've got a neighbor who has tried running the ground parallel to the hot wire but with the wind blowing it can can cause the wires to touch which...

    Missing turkey

    We went to a friends yesterday, 2 hrs one way. We stayed the night and when we got home the coop door was ripped open and there is a trail of feathers from the coop to our fence, a 5 1/2 ft wall. I'm sure its the neighbor's dog but we didn't see it. That is the only dog that has managed to...

    Making cheese.

    I was watching some you tube videos while waiting on the canner and decided to look up cheese. All they were doing was heating up some milk and adding vinegar. Is it really that simple? The videos said they were making different types of cheese but seemed to be doing the same thing. Anyone...

    New use for yellow mustard.

    I'll give the plain vinegar a try. If it works then I won't be a big yellow blob. Don't get allergies, they stink!
