Said in the article they buy paper wrapped TP. I've seen that, but usually the paper is plastic coated.

Yeah, I didn't get that hate mail comment either. I guess it is because she has no art on her walls. But she said she just couldn't find anything she liked, so obviously that person was looking for an insult whether it was there or not. I already have to read every label in the stores, and...

Oh, and her house drives me nuts. All that white, completely lacks personality.

I bet the grocery store personnel just hate them! You'd have to weigh EVERY different kind of container when you come in the store, and then they'd have to either reset the scale, or manually calculate the offset for the weight of the jar for EVERY purchase. She buys cheese and loads it into...

Juice the red ones. Dry the green ones. :)

Only thing I see is that pallets in decent shape are nearly impossible to find anymore. All we've been able to locate, even at a price, are pretty battered up.

I should think the trick would be getting the balance of barley and broth right. It should not go mushy, but will absorb two or more times it's bulk in water. Regular pearled barley should work fine. It is pretty hard to overcook it.

I picked some gorgeous radishes today. Pity nobody in our home likes them! Our landlords do though, so we saved out a bundle for them. We actually planted them for the animals, because they grow fast. Just a pity to give the really pretty ones to the goats! I also got an eggplant and a tray of...

Ma'am, put DOWN the slips, and step AWAY from the garden... It is illegal for companies to ship hearing aids to individuals in Oregon. The audiologists lobbied through legislation that says they are only available by prescription. So my mother just ordered it, had it shipped to a friend, and...

Baby goats are too adorably cute, aren't they? Even the most hardened goat hater may be momentarily persuaded to lose all reason when faced with a gamboling pair of kids! :)

Invite him out to fly a kite with you... :)

Pics of our new kids. Pixie is a mixed breed, bred to a Saanen buck. I thought it was interesting how the stripe on their back breaks. Cocoa is Oberhausli X Nubian, bred to a Saanen buck. They have Oberhausli coloring, but in a lighter, dustier shade, and halfway floppy ears.

We thought we'd go cut some of the invasive cedars, and lay the branches around for shade and shelter. Just have to find a time when we can get out with the chain saw.

Pat, they aren't suggesting that food thefts are new, but normally they don't involve produce. It is perishable, harder to move quickly to get rid of a stolen lot. I think they implied this one was unusual due to the sophistication of the setup, and that perishables were involved. :) I know we...

So Kevin brought in 10 duck eggs yesterday. There isn't any place in the duck pen where they have shade all day, and we haven't been able to build nestboxes yet, so they did the best they could where they laid their eggs. We cracked one open last night, and the egg was partially cooked. Had a...

Rabbits are VERY easy to care for. Unless you are butchering, tanning, selling rabbits, etc. It isn't the day to day care that is demanding, it is the handling of the rabbit products. That said... I think it is also important to understand that with rabbits, when you are talking about Feed to...

I don't know if you can feel the difference. I do know that many overweight rabbits will have a large dewlap under their chin. Flemish does should have one, but not HUGE. You also want to find out as much history as you can - age, whether they've been bred, litter history if they have, etc.

Just know what you are getting. Don't take just ANY rabbit free. A good meat rabbit will be fairly good sized, and if it has Californian blood, you'll see a definite crease between the shoulders - sometimes down the spine too on a fully mature male. In any other breed, that crease down the...

Even more important... Why do I HAVE goats? :) Oh, yeah.... Because I don't handle pasteurized cows milk well...

Satins are good meat rabbits, and very cold hardy. They have very fine, soft fur, so if you intend to tan the hides, that would be a plus. They are, on average, just a little smaller than Californians. Silver Fox are one of the rarest breeds in the US. If you have pure stock, they can sell for...
