    What have you STOPPED doing and not missed a bit!

    Yep. Half leghorn half Cali grey. The CWxBO made some really pretty chicks. I bought them from Whelp hatchery. They are much smaller than the leghorn but very productive. They started out flighty but an occasional gift of left overs fixed that. I can call them and they will come running or...

    New use for yellow mustard.

    I had a reaction to singulair back at the end of May and my Dr took me off. The allergist I've been seeing for the past 4 years couldn't get me in until the end of September so I called around and found a new Dr. He told me to stop taking all meds 10 days before my apt and the itching is...

    What have you STOPPED doing and not missed a bit!

    Bekissed, I have California Whites and they are great at foraging and laying. I've got one right now with half CW and BO chicks running behind her and she is doing great with them. They are fairly small birds (large white eggs) and was trying to set 22 eggs. She couldn't cover them all so I...

    Stocking Up, Putting Back, Prepping = Paranoia?

    I've thought about it and it depends on the situation. If it looks to be short term and I can afford to restock then yes. If long term and I can't afford to restock then no. Before storms are predicted or anything that makes people run to the store to buy stuff, if I can I go and buy for the...

    Grrrr. From 300 to 1 in 3 months

    No trace of any of the fruits? Are you sure you don't have a 2 legged problem? I can't imagine coons eating that much and not making a mess. Never knew one to clean up after itself.

    Stocking Up, Putting Back, Prepping = Paranoia?

    When there is an emergency I DO go shopping. Partly because I want my neighbors to think I'm "like them" but during an emergency the local women and childrens shelter is going to need supplies. So does the homeless shelter. Kills 2 birds with one stone. Makes it look like I'm as unprepared...

    Biscuit recipe for fresh ground wheat.

    :sick I can't stand carob. My ex step mother used to buy that stuff. :tongue I can't use store bought flour. My daughters system doesn't tolerate the additives. She has a sensitivity to chemicals/preservatives. Everything she eats is home made with 90% home grown.

    Biscuit recipe for fresh ground wheat.

    I used soft white wheat and this recipe works great with store bought white flour. My cookies, well the raw dough not so much cooked, feel a bit gritty too. I understand perfectly about husbands. Mine won't eat veggies if he can see them. He will pick them out but doesn't mind if I puree...

    Biscuit recipe for fresh ground wheat.

    My usual recipe doesn't work well with freshly ground wheat. They stay flat, no rise at all. Anyone have a good biscuit recipe?

    CANDY for long term storage

    You can vacuum seal chocolate chips and M&M's and they will last quite awhile. Don't know for how long, we don't give them a chance to go bad. The longest we had some was 8 months, only because I was really tired when I hid them from the kids and forgot where I put them.
