You should try grape jelly. I use it in my raccoon traps and they love the stuff and I have stopped catching every cat in the neighborhood(and one small mutt dog). I also found putting the trap up on top of a few bales of straw seemed to keep me from catching the skunk. so I am gonna go out...

Now I don't know how to do it but my mother and I were told by a young lady on the lake that vanilla lotion will keep the gnats and skeeters away while fishing and my mother bought a little bottle of just cheap vanilla lotion and we tried it as the little gnats were not biting but would swarm...

I have made vanilla ice cream and a nice vanilla bean custard for the inside of my cream puffs and then I scraped one pod and mixed it in with steak seasoning and while it is quite light the vanilla did come thru the flavor in the steak.. I liked it but the rest of the family was.. eh it was...

Thanks for the aluminum trick too but I got rid of all aluminum cook ware as I don't want to ingest any more aluminum than I have to. but the bottom of my big expensive stainless steel cook ware has a thick stainless clad aluminum heat plate thingy(big words not my forte tonight.. bonked my...

Sorry been gone so long but I put about 1 tablespoon of the bluing in a bottle of shampoo but not a big bottle maybe 10 oz. and it did help with some of the weird coloring my hair can get from swimming in pools or just from the hard water. I even took my bluing to a friends house and we made...

I know this is an older thread but you should go to your mothers in the spring and make cuttings of the rose that makes the best hips. I've rooted cuttings from roses a few times and some of the best "hip" roses actually will sprout wildly from the base or will root where it leans and hits the...

Thanks for these instructions! I love the convenience of canned beans but the storage of the dried and I often have a canner with an empty spot! and I have plenty of beans to try this with. gonna copy/paste them into my recipe folder.. :love

How funny I just ordered a pound of beans to start some extract for friends for the holidays.. I never worry about the little seeds and bits floating.. if a big piece comes out I when I measure I pick it out but for me most of the little bits of floaty are mostly beans and the real flecks of...

Tell me about it.. on my DAY Mothers day of course it was in the low 40s to possibly only upper 30s with freaking snow cuz I had to go to the camper and go fishing on MY DAY!! :barnie With not only cold temps but snow and ice and wind and darn it I still went fishing! :rant I didn't buckle to...

If he was your only roo I'd say probably some unknown defect but if you have other roos.. they fight even if you don't see them.. I've found that out the hard way.. but usually the hens are the DOA due to fighting roos.. they just get in the way..

hehe.. cream cakes got that name cuz you "cream" the sugar into the fats. ;)

Must be something in the air.. I have two black sex links that have been trying to go broody and one buff orpington.

I put the fruit in the bottles then add the kombucha to it. but making a big batch shouldn't make that big of a difference.. maybe less fizz or take longer to fizz..

I have been going to the spices of India store in the big town near me too. buy the whole and grind them when I need it. I was shocked how inexpensive it was. I got 4 of the nicest whole nutmegs for a buck. Whole Cumin (which I have a couple plants) which I toast and then grind- the flavor...

I use swing top bottles that hubs bought me to make home made rootbeer-after the kombucha gets to the point I like it I put it in the bottles with about a tablespoon of fruit or juice or ginger or even just a bit of sugar and put the top on and leave out for at least 24 in the summer to 3 to 4...

Really? Snarky much? I know you are quite the knowledgeable bloke but sometimes a bit of common politeness wouldn't hurt you ..;) :P on the substitute milk thing. I've been lactose intolerant for many years. Way back before it was such a "buzz" word. I could tolerate a bit of goat milk...

Hahaha! I am in the process of becoming closer friends with someone(I haven't had a close friend in many years) and her idea of cooking and mine are a bit different.. we both laughed quite hard over my cooking( I'm an old restaurant veteran.. from short order to fancy smancy)I can cook by the...

I was thinking that maybe that some penetrating oil(for removing rusted bolts and such) might work too.. put a couple drops on each countersunk screws and then take them out the next day.. I'm also wondering if even WD-40 would work.

I still worry about wandering out in the back yard after dark.. I know that we have skunks(or as my grand daughter calls them "stunks" lol) and I sure dont' want to just walk up on one in the dark. and something seems to scare them at least once a week so that they spray in the middle of the...

I know that this is a bit off topic but I found the picture.. There are only 4 in these pictures cuz they were fast little things..
