    Got us a Kitchenaid Mixer!! Now what?!

    I love to grind my own hamburger meat. Or I should say I use to grind my own hamburger meat. I also use to make 5 loaves of bread and 3 dozen rolls every week. Now I don't have the time. My Kitchenaide is sitting there waiting on me. It looks at me with sad eyes every weekend. I pet it and...

    Xmas bonus.... help me spend it wisely

    My list contained a new cordless drill. So while at Lowes a few weeks ago they had a 18V Cordless Drill, Circular Saw combo thingy on sale. I snatced it up - hugged the box - paid for it with my one and only credit card and prayed I was going to get my Christmas Bonus. LOL - Christmas Bonus...

    Sore Throat/Cough Relief

    I slice 3 to 4 slices of a medium onion (about like you would want on a hamburger) and pour about a cup of honey over them. Just make sure the onions are completely covered and cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. I don't measure anything. I just slice and pour honey. Sometimes my jar...

    Xmas bonus.... help me spend it wisely

    I agree with Duker17 - get what makes you happy. Because if you listened to me you would be buying a whole different list of things. :lol: I have a small food processor but don't use it much as I perfer to do my own chopping, diceing, etc. I don't eat ice cream and the few times I make jerky...

    Sore Throat/Cough Relief

    Update - I know it last for over 2 months in the fridge. Gets a little thick and crystalized. But I just placed the jar into a bowl of warm water and it thinned right up. Apparently it still maintains its healing properties. My DD woke up with a sore throat, cough and headache. I sliced up...

    Do you wear long skirts?

    Ya'll are kidding - right? People actually make negative comments? I wear it all - mostly jeans beause of where I work but in winter I love long skirts. And summer time will often find me in a long summer dress or skirt. I am like Denim Deb - I would not deal that well with someone who made...

    Childern can become seriously Ill by swallowing lithium batteries

    As an added note - even with an X-Ray these batteries look like nickles. And because nickles themselves are not deadly like pennies - Dr's may say lets see if it passes. This just happend to a friend of mine. They ended up removing a large portion of her 18 month olds intestines. He almost...

    The xXx Gloom & Doom Report

    As invasive as it is - Bamboo is cheap - makes a great fence - especially if you spear cut your first line of defense stalks to ground level. They will go right through your foot when stepped on. I will admit this is a little gruesome - but - it also works for those of you who are looking for a...

    Frugal Tips for our Livestock

    The only thing I have is egg shell related. :D And that is the microwave works well too. 1 minute in the microwave if you have a lot of eggshells. I use to do that when I had a parrot and I was feeding my chicken eggs to him. As for my chickens. I never bothered since I was giving them...

    canning gadget

    I have the V2440 - Which is much older than your new 2244. I love Food Saver products. I have tried several other brands and find they do not hold up to my needs. Word of caution - make sure the rubber gasket is wiped off after each use - order 2 extra rubber gaskets to have on hand...

    Storing used oil......

    Well we all know I am strange so this won't be a surprise - I use one pan only for frying french fries because I fry them quite often - the pan looks awful. I leave my oil in that pan with a saucer over it - stored in my oven which does not see much use. I use my toaster oven for most baking -...

    canning gadget

    I freeze canning jars all the time - only lost 2 over the years. I figure they were weak from all the use - or does it have something to do with vacuum sealing?

    canning gadget

    I too have wondered about that attachment. But reading the salad blog has me wondering if it might be a good investment. I love salad but hate wilted lettuce and can never eat a whole head of lettuce before it wilts and turns brown. I also wonder how it would work if I used it to seal other...
