I currently have two freezers: a chest freezer with a side of beef, and a standup freezer (mostly convenience foods for DS18) with some remains of the side of hog I got last year. I'm going for the whole hog this year. Woot. I like having a freezer. I have a generator with gas (using STABIL) to...

One thing I got reminded of recently - bug spray. And a stock of tick collars. West Nile sucks. So does Lyme disease. I've had the vet suggest that we get tick collars for the dog in case we go hiking. (The fleas are dealt with by a monthly pill along with worms.) You can wear a tick collars as...

Being from Minnesnowta, I have plenty of Canuck friends, and didn't need the translation. But others probably did, so good of you to provide it. Thanks for the list of stuff in your kit. Nice to see what others do.

Oh yeah, that's me! My name is Anna and I belong to the MeSSy Kitchen Club. My favorite kitchen tool is the instant hot water filter in my sink. I can make hot tea with no notice, have instant hot water for poached eggs, oatmeal, and any time I need boiling water RIGHT NOW. ETA: Since it's...

What a great idea. I'll have to work on something like that for us.

:love She's cuter than a kitten!

I'm curious how many folks here do emergency drills (fire drills, earthquake drills, preparedness drills) in your home or with your local community. Back in Minnesota, we used to get storms knocking out power every year or so, which gave us an opportunity to regular reminder to keep our...

What works really well, I've found, for those kind of things is to send an email with a link to "this is what I want for ..." He gets it. We're both happy. Me because I know I'll appreciate what he got me, he because he doesn't have to guess or try to remember. If I just want him to say Happy...

If you get the jiggler for the presto, you can listen to the dial. It works really well. ETA: Congratulations on your new canner.

:clap :woot

I just got a 5-liter Harsch Fermenting/Pickling Crock off Craigslist. :woot Time to start some sauerkraut. How long do you usually let yours ferment before you start eating it?

Well, I just asked DS for a filing box he hadn't been using. I put all the seeds in there for now. I need to add labelled dividers. So I can see what I've got. Like, I know I have a bunch of beans and peppers and tomatoes, but not sure what else. ETA: I'd still like to hear about how others...

So how do ya'll store and organize your seeds? Do you have a file-box or a tupperware or something else? I need to organize them better so I know what I have.

Take up the holy tequila, and pour 2 shots. Not 1, unless thou continuest on to 2. Thou shalt not pour 3 shots. 4 is right out. Upon pouring the 2 shots of tequila, addest thou 1/2 shot of cointreau or triple sec. Then takest up thy lime, and upon squeezing it well, cleave it in twain. Addest...

I am recovering from bruised/cracked ribs. (I didn't get them x-rayed since treatment is the same either way.) Today, I'm making beef stock. Trying to clear out leftovers and cannables from the freezer this week, because I've got a side of beef coming on Satyrday. Last week, I went to the...

:weee Thanks for the update.

Very cute. Love the outfit. Did you make that?

White gold often has nickel alloyed with it. I cannot wear white gold because of the nickel. I get just the kind of rash you describe. If left, it ends up raw. You may need to switch out your engagement ring to yellow gold (which is less often alloyed with nickel). Hope you find something that...
