  4. OK, here's my go. I made dinner rolls with our spaghetti tonight. Jewlz was sweet enough to let me post on here as well: The recipes & cast of ingredients: Dinner Rolls 1 (1/4-ounce) package dry active yeast 1 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 2 teaspoons salt 1 cup milk, scalded but cooled to warm 4 ounces melted butter, plus 2 ounces (I used margarine) 5 cups flour, plus more, as needed In a standing mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes. Place dough in buttered bowl, cover with towel, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Lightly oil the muffin pan. Punch down dough and form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin. Fill muffin pan, cover with towel, and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. 908-HPIM0371a.JPG

Not that anyone should be in my closet anyway! LOL
  6. You Know You're A Homeschool Mom When... * You get to change more than diapers, you get to change their minds. * When a child busts a lip, and after seeing she's okay, you round up some scotch tape to capture some blood and look at it under the microscope! * You find dead animals and actually consider saving them to dissect later. * Your children never ever leave the "why?" stage. * When your teenager decides to take one community college course, and comes home and asks you why the teacher wrote "At" on his paper. (A+) * You ask for, and get, a copier instead of a diamond tennis bracelet for your wedding anniversary. * Your kids think reading history is best accomplished while lying on the floor with their head resting on the side of their patient dog. * Your husband can walk in at the end of a long day and tell how the science experiment went just by looking at the house. * You never have to drive your child's forgotten lunch to school. * Your child will never suffer the embarrassment of group showers after PE. * The only debate about the school lunch program is whose turn it is to cook. * You never have to face the dilemma of whether to take your child's side or the teacher's side in a dispute at school. * If your child gets drugs at school, it's probably Tylenol. * Your neighbors think you are insane. * Your kids learn new vocabulary from their extensive collection of "Calvin & Hobbes" books. * Your formal dining room now has a computer, copy machine, and many book shelves and there are educational posters and maps all over the walls. * You have meal worms growing in a container....on purpose. * If you get caught talking to yourself, you can claim you're having a PTA meeting. * Talking out loud to yourself is a parent/teacher conference. * You take off for a teacher in-service day because the principal needs clean underwear. * You can't make it through a movie without pointing out the historical inaccuracies. * You step on math manipulative on your pre-dawn stumble to the bathroom. * The teacher gets to kiss the principal in the faculty lounge and no one gossips. * Your honor student can actually read the bumper sticker that you have put on your car. * If your child claims that the dog ate his homework, you can ask the dog. * Some day your children will consider you to be a miracle-working expert and will turn to you for advice. * Your kids refer to the neighbor kids as "government school inmates." * You can't make it through the grocery produce department without asking your preschooler the name and color of every vegetable. * You can't put your produce in your cart without asking your older student to estimate it's weight and verify accuracy. * You live in a one-house schoolroom. * Your favorite Christmas gift was a gift certificate to a book store. * The principal can give the teacher a pat on the behind and it's not harassment. * Your kids will actually talk to grown ups at a family gathering and are actually patient with kids half their age. * You can take the time to look at a tiny spider on a log. * You can listen to your child's favorite hilarious passage from Hank the Cowdog 47 times. * Your daughter, who is practically a vegetarian, is begging her dad to shoot some starlings so she can pluck them and clean them up to make a "blackbird" pie just like the Ingalls family. * You're almost afraid to put your hand in your purse because you not sure if your 6yo has put something that's alive (or possibly not alive, but once was) to take home to view under the microscope. * You have a line item in your budget for overdue book fines. * You have to add the words: "homeschool, homeschooler, and homeschooling" to your computer's spell checker so it will stop marking them as wrong. * Your house in on the Parade of Homes List - for educational merchandisers. * When visiting a strange town you see a parking lot full of mini-vans and station wagons and wonder if it's a homeschooling conference. * Your friends don't want to help you move because you have so many books. * Your school clothes have more holes in the knees than your play clothes.

    What am I?

    OHMY A2N, you're hilarious!
  8. THNX Cookie! I always "enjoy" looking at these pics. They give me a sense of peace. While I'm still working on a years supply, we could EASILY pass months without shopping.

  10. You are so old school. We use pens these days. And mine has an auto paper feed tray!
  11. Can I ask why? I mean I've never really heard of this til I joined here, and I never thought to ask before. Is the stuff in the jar made so it won't can? Unsafe?
  12. I know this says fresh garlic, but can I use the minced "jar"-lic?

I don't know how Darlene removes hers, but I use a bottle opener (like the kind on the end of a hand-held can opener) and it doesn't damage the lids. HTH! Shawna I slide a butter knife just under the metal edge and twist. As long as you can get air in there, you'll here the infamous suck sound & pop.

  15. FYI, check discount stores as well. I know Old Time Pottery carries canners occasionally, and I got the red set that Darlene posted for 6 bucks at Big Lots. The Ball book I got at WM for less than 6. Without reading the replies (or all of them, anyway) keep in mind, whilst you can't use the lids more than once (though some argue you can) you can however hold onto the rings and reuse them until there is excessive rust. Another thing, once your items are sealed, you can remove the ring. All it does is hold the flat in place til it seals. I'm so excited we have another canner on board. Those first pings you here will be the best ever! LOL
  16. I'm so glad you liked it. It was sooo good and it is so versatile as we've both proved! I think I may add a smidge of lemon juice to the breading next time... Mmmm..... Cat- quit looking and BUY!!! LOL
