I finally remembered why I wanted to post on here today! I had read thru it and remembered what I bought at spices of India store this fall! Whole cumin seed and while I dont' know how well it will work I did test ten seeds and they all sprouted so I know that they are very fresh and I will be...

{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}:hugs I've only really had pet rabbits and losing them was bad(they just got old old) but losing potential food and breeders is horrible! I don't suppose a vet would take a blood/sample and run it thru a lab cheap for you so that you know for sure?

I used 12 beans sliced down the middle for an old swingtop wine bottle full of cheap vodka. Had it for a couple years now and when I use it down about a cup or so I just add more vodka. Got mine thru vanilla products usa and am thinking about buying more in bulk and make up a few more bottles...

Thanks for the great link! and on the matter of self defense. I know plenty but there will always be others that know more. The aftermath of such an attack may be harder on some than others. I've been there and know from first hand experience. Needless to say I'm a stronger person for it...

Have you checked any of the soap calculators to see if they include it? it might be hard to figure out how much lye to use. I know a person on another forum who recommended not using pork lard for soap but only due to the fact that it tended to clog your pores. but the lard soap was fine for...

not sure but the way I was taught to make it was to cook it till the water was gone and the bits were brown. any water left in there *as I was told by chef* would make it spoil. I also had to skim all the foam. We also had "drawn" butter that was just melted butter for the seafood I wonder if...

When I was younger it was one of my jobs at the one restaurant to make this a couple times a week as clarified butter doesn't burn like just a pat of butter. didn't know it was Ghee until many years later. and even tho the restaurant had to keep it in the fridge(food safety protocols ya know)...

There is another side to this that I think many of us are forgetting entirely. (or want to forget as they are not pleasant) It's not pretty and it is something that you wouldn't wish on anyone but if the S does HTF there are gonna be some pretty major breakdowns of society as we know it. It is...

there certainly is an ick factor.. :sick Makes ya wonder how strong those fake sausage casings are?

It seemed that they salted them and they were known to break.. but then condoms break now.. but maybe I'll go do some google foo.. lol Found more info.. For the curious, here's how to make a sheep-gut condom, according to a publication in 1824. Soak a sheep's intestine caeca in water for a...

there are a few things I can add from sugaring with my family- always tap the trees on the sunniest side of the tree-if there is ice in the bucket in the morning pull it out and toss it(or like us kids did.. eat it to quench the thirst of dumping buckets on 80 acres of trees) and when the sap...

Cassanova's best friend was a little piece of sheep intestine with a pink ribbon to hold it on.. ;)

I have mega hard water and have had not one problem with the tankless heater where we were going thru a tank (even doing the proper maintenance on them as needed) every 4 to 5 years! They work different than the tanks and do not sit there and slowly fill up with sediment from the water. we did...

I love the Rooster! great pic Meriruka!!!!

I have tankless and we have had it for almost 10 years now(had to think on that) while it does take a bit to get used to(like not having instant hot water it takes about a minute for it to kick on) it gets hot hot hot! we had to turn ours down a bit or it could scald ya. it is a small one so no...

we have steep stairs and long hallway upstairs and put in a small led light right at the top and one in our bathroom that almost never get shut of and they don't seem to suck any power. it isn't that bright in the daytime (I have to get a flash light to go thru the linen cubby in the hall) but...

well hopefully they still have incandescent in Canada. I live close enuf to jump the border and buy them and sneak them back.. I use them in my chicken brooders and have a good few boxes hidden away. I was told by tractor supply that brooder bulbs are still going to be allowed due to what...

I'm planning on growing out some litchi tomato this year(I've had the seed for two years and hope it sprouts) I just didn't have the stamina last year.. plus several types of Asian greens/baby boc chois. One looks like mini of the big white and green and the other is an all green version that...

I agree with the others.. I grow most of my garden up fencing and plant things much closer than you would expect and get great crops. I personally hate lima beans with a passion but grow several types of pole beans a year and I plant them about an inch apart and get great amounts of green beans...

I would be a bit careful with those sutures. A person(who will remain un-named) on another forum buys sutures online in bulk that are not good enuf for surgery(just do a quick search and you will see what I mean) not that they are bad but they are not always sterile and are known to say on the...
