i had a great one but I dont remember where ther recipe came from. I know it was white cheddar cheese, milk and some cider. Very yummy.

I will note something I did find this good for. My dog was mysteriously paralyzed a couple weeks ago and after a couple nights at the vets she came home and is still regaining bladder control. Putting a cup of this solution in the wash water really helped freshen up her blankets and I washed...

well, i made it. Not so easy to do if your familiar with chemistry ;) and I will say it works Ok, just ok. And doesnt really do much if your line drying. But I will use up what I have left.

that is your opinion. obviously not everyones. some of us celebrate that date on the calendar as a very special day and giving gifts signifies something special. By giving something handmade we are giving of ourselves and not of Walmart. Please dont make this thread a debate.

I have next to no money for Christmas this year and it will go for my kids so every one else will get handmade gifts. Mixes in a jar, biscotti or cookies and handmade aprons. What are you making this year for gifts?

my son loves hummus and cut up veggies, im sure hes the only 1st grader smelling like garlic :P pickled hard boiled eggs, peanut butter banana sandwiches, hard cheese, crackers and left over ham or chicken and a peanut butter oatmeal cookie or yogurt for dessert. Im sure there are many others...

thanks I will try it, i know about the baking soda and vinegar. I used to use it to unclog greasy pipes at my parents house.....till the day I blew the side out of the aluminum pipe :hu :rolleyes:

im no expert but my gram always put a plate on top with a jug of water to push it down and keep it covered in juice, and skims the stuff off the top from time to time. Are you closing the bucket or pushing it down. Should it be in a closed bucket?

I have a big Hamilton Beach with a removeable pot i got just a couple years ago, it does that burning thing above the water line but otherwise i dont have problems with it. I have a little 2 qt Rival with removeable pot I got at a yard sale, its surely a few years old as it has a brown pot...

I became interested in it just as part of a country, farming, lifestyle and stretching a thin budget. The two just seem to go together. Growing up on a farm, nothing went to waste. We ate primarily what we grew and hunted. We didnt have excess, heck we didnt even have the option of getting...
