Leaf lard is from around the kidneys of the piggy and on the inside. Long and lumpy bumpy looking on a silverskin/membrane(I remove it before rendering) if you are butchering your own it is kind of along the back under the ribs- while fat back tends to be in flat long strips, sometimes with the...

My sister had shingles when she was in her 30s and it was horrible. but the l-lysine really does help. I take it if I even think I am going to get a cold sore and it will sometimes stop them dead in their tracks!

I don't have it :( I have all of my grandmothers cook books and hand written stuff but the croquetts and the cabbage rolls were not found anywhere. I may try my hand at making them as I do remember soft white bread crumbs-celery-a little jar of those red pimentos maybe some chopped onion and...

You put into words what I was thinking. I don't read the journals either and found that the threads way back in the archives are much more "helpful" when looking for certain things. I started out here by lurking and not joining and reading the older threads and when I found I had something to...

I have to say that I had my fingers crossed for ya! little babies can put up with a lot. I have had a few annuals bloom and die out early if I stressed them more than a couple times tho, like cilantro and other herbs too. but I don't think I had that problem with my baby onions yet.

Just check the recycle number on some of the plastic water carboys some are not good for making any type of alcohol as it leaches stuff out of them but the only place I know of that I saw the list of numbers and those are okay and that is the Home brew forums that I am a member of. they listed...

I have over a dozen of the swingcap type bottles that hold the carbonation in with out letting the bottles explode and I have made quite a few "fizzy wines" for me and the girls. I found if I buy old orchard 100% juice frozen concentrate and put about a tablespoon in each bottle and then top...

I have about 10 gallons of wine in one gallon glass jugs and a 5 gallon carboy of applewine vinegar and one of the gallons ( they are not in my pantry tho. they live under the dining room table haha) is apple mulberry as I have 6 to 8 mulberry trees on my land and I'm allowed to harvest in the...

I was allergic to the red dye (5 maybe) and anything colored with it made me violently ill so I was not big on candy growing up and don't get me going on maraschino cherries I still can't eat those. I so get the "odd" treats thing! But my favorite growing up cookie was cinnamon graham crackers...

I used to only eat Starkist but when they started putting the Meijer brand on sale for a buck I decided to buy a few cans and try it and it was better than any other type I've had other than the one from gorden foods in the huge cans that our social club buys for luncheons. But I can't eat what...

There is a recall on 5oz Bumblebee tuna in the can. here is a link to an article with the can numbers...

I'm not in Canada but I have one big LED that is directional that cost me $20 from walmart and it is a GE bulb and it is bright and nice. it is the blue/white light spectrum (which I do not like in my house I go for the orange/yellow LED for indoor use) We use it in the big extension cord with...

I may have to try that. I've been dehydrating or freezing mine.

no biggy. just going by the title of the thread. :) Personally I drink tea in the summer for my morning wake up and then during the day as ice tea. I love my coffee but sometimes in the heat of summer coffee with cream and sugar doesn't sit as well as a big hot cup of earl grey(no sugar or...

Back when this article was written they had a blockade on the harbors ( the war between the states)and tea was only grown at the time in Asia-India and China and was just as hard to come by as the coffee was. Is that what you wanted to know? The USA had the Boston tea party in response to the...

I have always found this to be true. it does depend on what you are looking for. I save quite a bit shopping here and I will continue to do so as long as I am saving money.

There is nothing wrong with $10 a tree.. both my peaches were end of spring sale and $6 each for huge trees and I have a prune plum that was sold to me for $5 as it didn't have a tag and they quite frankly had no clue what it was. Neither did I till it set fruit 4 years later.. lol but for $5...

Tea would be if it grew better in more areas. Camellia sinensis is a bit more tender than some other plants. Harder to come by too. it is almost as tropical as coffee. I'm gonna be going for Yaupon holly ;) for my caffeine fix. fixing to do some trading come this spring. I'd like to try...

Another good thing about the 4-in-1 trees is that they always have a pollinator right there and will normally set higher fruit. once they start to bear fruit don't be shy about pruning the fruit back to so many per limb or cluster on some fruits. The only fruits I don't take fruit out is my...

I've got a couple pounds of wakame seaweed and a few packs of Kombu and a few packs of bonito flakes. Mai fun noodles and all kinds of rice noodles. over 100 sheets of nori paper. A few cans of wasabi powder(until I can figure out how to get some and try to grow it) I also have dried squid...
