'stupidly malicious' or 'maliciously stupid' it's a fine line....but.....
Doesn't anyone else find it strange that Monsanto has it's fingers in each of these pies?
Okay I'll stop here, give FramingFowl back her thread & apologize for the intrusion.

Ok, you must share the onion soup recipe.framing fowl said:
yesterday, I staved off sugar cravings, by getting a small decaf Breve with no sweetener added.
I felt so good sipping on that thing!
Its high time I started making them at home with our raw cream.

Tanks, the ketchup recipe is from nourished kitchen. I don't know if it's the same as in the book Nourishing Traditions but it sounded good with the cloves and allspice and I didn't have my NT book at work.
BubB, I'll post the onion soup recipe in the kitchen section in a couple of minutes.
So here's the thing, the only way to combat the media hype and monsantos of the world is developing relationships with other people and sharing what you know. It is thanks to many of you here that I am where I am with food. Some people will get it, and some people won't. Develop relationships with your neighbors, people at church, people at work, parents at school, etc. When you develop relationships and care about people, you have credibility and they will listen to what you have to say.
I guess I'm just at that point where I'm tired of talking politics: be it government, energy, environment, food, SHTF, etc. I think most people recognize that there is a problem. Now is the time to start doing something. If it is small, do it. If you have the resources to do something large, do it. Just take it one step closer to what you want the world to be like than where you are.
Take food for example. Are you able to switch from margarine to butter? Great. Are you able to switch from butter to grass fed butter? Are you able to buy a goat and make your own butter? These are all steps in the right direction.
Does it matter that I live in the city and can't have a goat? No. It just means that I support the lady at the farmers market who sells butter. It means that because I live in the city, I have different steps I can take and different resources available to me. I am able to find stuff by the side of the road on garbage day that I can turn into cash because I make a point to walk my dogs. It doesn't cost me anything. Now if I lived in the country, that might be a silly thing to do because you would have to drive the garbage route and it would cost you gas $.
Actually, the more I think about it, people who live in the city have a greater responsibility toward self-sufficiency because that is where the greatest population centers and where the most resources are consumed. It's all fine and good for those of you who are more spread out in the country. If it all collapses and you are self-sufficient, you may have a few people who try to take your resources, expect you to share with them, or want to band together in some mutually beneficial arrangement. Imagine being in the city if you are trying to be self-sufficient. Within a half-mile radius you have 1000 people stacked up all trying to get their piece of the pie. The easy answer may be to leave and flee to the country but that also may not be a practical solution in many circumstances.
It's sort of like chickens, if everyone has enough room, life is good. Too many chickens in too small of a space and you have problems.
Okay, I'll stop for now and see what your thoughts and responses are and before I get mistaken for ICU

I'm assuming you're laughing thinking of all the people in the city as different chickens and the city as one big stinky chicken coop that needs cleaning!

Raining!!! 
We had the wettest May on record and then June came and 90* temps. I've been watering this past week because everything looked so droopy. Hard to go from swampland to desert in a 2 week period.
It's a puddle jumper for sure which we always used to say was a 3 day rain!

drizzle is no fun in my book. Just enough to make you stay in but not really bad enough that you are almost tempted to go out and work in it. Ugh...
This here is the real deal: thundery lightningish puddle jumping goodness!

Whoo Hoo! I've got a hot date tonight!!!
MyT Man just called and said "Honey, when you get home after going to the grocery to buy me some more bread, I'd like to take you under the house and have you trouble shoot a plumbing problem with me!"
Yup. My idea of a good time. Crawling around in a 3' crawlspace...
