    Box Mac-n-cheese Expiration Date?

    LOL... No pictures, but I eat every bit of meat and cartilage on the wing- surprising how much there actually is. I spit out the bones one by one as I get the meat off of them. I used to crunch up the tiny bones too, but not so much now as I started wondering what those little bone splinters...

    Canning

    We have an All American. If I'm doing a smaller batch, I fill the empty spots with jars of clean water and process. I have a small store of water that will stay clean and fresh if something happens.

    Usda asking to register your garden....wth?

    One year, a group of us potted up seedlings of a variety of veggies in six-packs (ex: 2 tomatoes, a cucumber, a zucchini, and 2 pole beans) to be given to people getting food from the local Food Bank. The idea was to encourage people to plant at least a little bit of a garden to help with their...

    Box Mac-n-cheese Expiration Date?

    My mom is French, and during WWII times were lean indeed. She never completely lost that, and I can remember any time we had chicken you were expected to eat every vestige of edible, including the cartilage. To this day, I don't really like to eat chicken in public, because people get a little...

    Box Mac-n-cheese Expiration Date?

    The one food I remember reading about where you should pay attention to the expiration date is Cake Mixes; the baking powder used definitely has a finite shelf life, and the cake won't rise well.

    MY NEW HOME

    When we moved to Oregon from California, DH needed to start working right away, but the house hadn't closed yet. They let us move our motor home into the driveway, and we were able to start an account with the electric company and hook up a hose to the well, so he could live there reasonably...

    Britesea - Living the good life in rural Oregon

    A while back I read a story of a visiting pastor who attended a men's breakfast in the middle of a rural farming area of the country. The group had asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast. "Lord, I hate buttermilk", the farmer began. The visiting...

    What did you do in the berry patch today?

    right now, we're just eating them fresh; berries being one of the few fruits I'm "allowed" on keto. Eventually I may have to make some kind of sugar-free preserves or desserts.

    What did you do in the berry patch today?

    My alpine strawberries are doing pretty good. We are starting to get a few berries now. I lost some plants because we had a major heat wave right after I planted them (note to self: get some Wilt Stop in the future!) The raspberries are going like gangbusters finally. It's been about 4 years...

    Too bad I can't read this. I've reached the end of my share of free articles, and I'm not willing to pay for this.

    Don't forget putting your faith in God. Jesus already won the battle, but the Enemy doesn't believe it.
