Oh my goodness this butter is delicious! And making it worked just like everyone said. So easy! Now off to find recipes for the buttermilk. :-)

Forgot to mention, I was given some heavy whipping cream yesterday, so today I'm making butter! Just shaking it in a jar, we'll see (or taste) how that works soon! And in my spare moments tonight, I'm trying to bottle feed the rabbit kit. Mom wants nothing to do with it. I have another doe that...

What a long, strange week it's been! But I'm still plugging along. The more self-suffiency, the better! Bought a small mortar and pestle from Goodwill. I've ground various seeds for inclusion in bread dough, and mixed my own garlic-pepper butter in it. Yum! (And no electricity usage, and no...

So cool! I got 25 meaties today. Looking forward to lots of chicken dinners!

I have one, a tiny one about 2.5 inches across, that I got from my local Goodwill about a week ago. Its ceramic and was only $3.99! So far I've used it for breaking up pumpkin seeds and flax seeds for inclusion in bread doughs. Takes a while to break enough up, but I've never used a larger one...

Can you break it up with a hammer, and use a food processor to return it to the powder-like consistency? I've done similar things with hard brown sugar.

Today's title is "My blog of things I'm *NOT* getting from Craigslist - or anywhere else for that matter" Grrrrrrr My source of all thigns free and cheap seems to have dried up. I haven't gotten anything I have asked for since my last post Jan 18th. My emails are getting through, a few nice...

Don't know if you're hoping to find a way to replace your birth certifcate and SS card, rather than waiting to locate the ones you have, but just in case you are... You can order a new birth certificate online, if you were born in the USA - http://www.vitalchek.com/ You can order multiple copies...

What do all of you use for daily storage in your kitchens? I mean for things like the few pounds of beans or rice or potatoes (or whatever) that you don't put up in long-term storage because you're going to use them in the next few days. I enjoy being able to see my stored edibles, so I keep...

Woo-hoo! Thanks!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

{{HUGS}} Deb. I've been there. Glad you don't need him to get food and stuff for you, but that doesn't mean you don't need him to be where he says he'll be. That really sucks.

I do my best to hit $0 owed and $0 refund each year and I'm usually really close to that. But this year - sheesh! I got married, quit my job, put my house up for sale, moved to another state, can't find a job here, husband in graduate school, student loans... I have NO idea what the taxes will...

Silly me. :rolleyes: The links are fixed now.

I found these: http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-art-collectibles-ANTIQUE-LANTERN-W0QQAdIdZ349001149 - the seller is asking for $60 and http://www.canadianfavourites.com/Beacon_GSW_Lantern_Made_in_Canada_Used_p/beacon001.htm - the seller is asking $54.95 and...

Same here.

After the conversation that this duck-chicken thing started, I'm wishing I'd kept a copy of the Craigslist "rabbit to good home" ad that clearly showed a picture of a hamster!

This is turning into "my blog of things I get from Craigslist". :cool: I think I'll retitle the thread to that. I recently sold my last four chickens, for $40. That was the last of the 20+ free chickens I got in the fall, and the only ones that were decently behaved egg layers. So they were...

I posted this question forever ago, but thought others might like an answer to it. I answered an ad on Craigslist from a woman whose English Walnut tree had dropped all its walnuts, and she wanted them removed from her yard. So - From one large walnut tree, I collected a bit over 60 lbs of...

A bit ago I sold four chickens that I had gotten free from Craigslist. (I got 20 some chickens free, from different people, for different reasons including meanness and egg eating. I watched their actions for a couple weeks, culled and ate the ones that caused problems, and had four good ones...
