Oh I hope so! :D

So I've only mad eit about 1/3 of the way through this thread when an idea struck me. Hubby requested that I make jalapeno relish, so I thought maybe it would be a good thing to attempt fermenting. I've never fermented (intentionaly) before so I'm a little intemidated. I am going to buy...

No preditor attacks last night - We are looking into getting a LGD - I'm nervous about it, but it seems like the best option for us for now. On a side note. I'm reading The Omnivores Delima(sp?) and oh my gosh it is enlightening. Americans are not raised to think about their food - they just...

Posting it made me had to have it. That's what was for dinner last night - with homemade slaw (similar sauce, only I use dijon mustard, a little honey and celery seeds with no hot sauce) and I broke down and made some hush puppies. It was heavenly - I can't wait to eat it again for lunch here...

Today started out terribly. I woke up to feed everyone and the roosters were gone. All of them, but two - they were just moved to a newly fenced area, to get them out of where the garden is going. They were in a temporary coop. Something got them. I don't know what it was, but it was either...

I vote for Carolina Style sauce - ACV, red pepper flakes, little mustard, garlic, hot sauce if you like - maybe a touch of home made ketchup. :drool I grew up in VA and every time I get a little home sick I cook up a pork shoulder and go crazy on the vinegar sauce!!! It's even better the next...

I think we are all protective over the things we cherish and take pride in. My house is a run of the mill double wide - it is clean but a little cluttered inside - we've got some things that need to be picked up outside - but not too trashy. When family comes over I couldn't care less - but...

Wow, thanks for the responses!! I've got some reading to do...

I have chickens and rabbits and soon will get goats. In an effort to save some money and to stay away from processed food for my animals, I wanted to ask y'all opinion. I've used backyard herds, with limited pleasure and I know that y'all have great advice that is not so mainstream. Here's...

I just bought this book for my parents. They have food issues (my mother has gained about 100 lbs in the past year and blames it on a medicine she's taking, but eats like there is no tomorrow :rolleyes: ) I'm hoping this will help them to change their eating habits a little at a time. And if...

Murphys Ranch, this is a great place to learn!! Thanks Blackbird. I knew that the bucks needed to be kept away, but hadn't really thought of that... Leaves lots to be contemplated... Would you have any recomendations for someone who only has an acre to work with and would like small...

So we've got babies!! They are so cute!! When they were about 3 days old. I was amazed to come out one day and they were coverd in fur, they grow so fast!! They are about 3 weeks old now! and adorable. I keep telling them that they need to cut that out quickly, so that I can slaughter...

It's off the paleo topic a little bit, but we started our new lifestyle on Saturday. No wheat, beans, or legumes. But I feel that dairy is a very important part of our diet, so full fat dairy in there too. I have to say it was a great feeling after dinner on Saturday night to be full, but not...

Funny about the man thing, it was my husband who approached me with the idea. I have been on the verge of low carb, but am kind of intemidated by it - picking the right carbs from the wrong carbs (I think way too much into it). But this just seems so straight forward. edited to add that it...

I have been looking more and more into a paleolithic type diet and was wondering if anyone eats this way, or if y'all had any feedback or advise to give me on my new adventure.

I just got three meat rabbits, two doe's and a buck. I was thinking about getting some worms for vermicomposting. I have been batting the idea of goats around, so maybe that will happen this year. I just can't make up my mind what breed I want to get... Leaning toward nigerian dwarfs...

So, I'm really bad at keeping up with a journal. And I don't really ever post on other topics, not because I'm not interested, but because of my poor social skills. Oh well... I've had hens since earlier in the year, but wanted to get a rooster, so I ordered a dozen male chicks, it was a...

I was really excited to read your journal. I just got meat rabbits yesterday, a bredding pair of new zealands and a california doe. So I'm very excited to see the pictures of your babies. I will love and snuggle mine until it's time to butcher and then I'll justt say a little prayer to thank...

There was a tv program I saw years ago, that was about different cultures, and what they do with their dead. What made this show stand out in my mind was that they brought attention to a hospice type company that would not only help make you comfortable, but would assit you in planning for your...

Does anyone have one? Is it as great and efficient as they claim?
