    What did you do to MAKE money today?

    I worked...am on for another 8 mins. I'd rather be canning or in the garden, but while that saves money it doesn't make any. Where do y'all sell your canned goods? Around here you have to be inspected to get a license and it's an enormous PITA.

    Use for small bland apples

    You could mix them in with some tasty, tart apples like Granny Smith of MacIntosh and make applesauce. You might try a small batch of apple butter, too...once they're cooked down, it might concentrate the flavor more, and with the spices, it could end up being pretty decent.

    Dawn419 & doc's LSTA: Confounded Computer!!!

    Doc did the town run before that project and checked out the new health food store in Highland, looking for Bragg ACV and Kombucha. No luck with either one. I figured Kombucha was too weird for this area so I'm not suprised on that one but apparently there is a shortage of organic ACV due to a...

    Erin's Journal- Turning Frugal

    Mealworms are going to be a project here as well, as soon as the canning's all done and the garden put to bed for the winter. I like to give my girls plenty of protein as well...I've noticed if I miss for a week or so we get smaller eggs. I give them homemade yogurt a couple times a week, any...

    I need an EASY yogurt recipe

    Here's mine: Fill a quart jar with milk. Place it in a pan of water and heat to 160 degrees, then remove the jar and set it on the counter. Put a cover on the pan and put it on a towel in a cooler and close the lid. When the milk cools to about 110 degrees, stir in 2 tablespoons (or so) of...

    Erin's Journal- Turning Frugal

    Pretty eggs! Look just like mine :) Wow, the going rate there is less than here...I sell mine for $3/dz but I've seen them listed for as much as $4.50, which I think is ridiculous. Even in the grocery store, the "free range organic" (yeah, right) eggs go for about $3 a dozen so I guess that...

    What did you do to save $ today?

    That's awesome! I would love to get a group together locally who want to barter...it's so much better than putting an arbitrary price on something. Everybody gets what they need...how much better can it get?

    Moolie/other Canadians (English/Australians/etc) ... a question

    It's a kilopascal, a unit of pressure. 1 psi is about 6.9 Kpa.

    What did you do to save $ today?

    Found a posting on CL for free apples and peaches...and the lady even dropped them off! So got a nice bag full of gorgeous big apples and another of tiny little peaches and didn't even have to fire up the car to go get 'em.

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Thank goodness it's not worse. Carrying that extra weight has to add to her discomfort too, poor baby. Hope the farrier can get out and provide a bit more relief for both of you soon.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Processed my freebie Macs yesterday; ended up with 6 pints of nice sauce. About to head out to get the crabs processed for butter.
