  1. I don't know how new they are but Swing A Way makes a hand held can opener too.
  2. The bones simmering on the back of the stove is a foundation for Eternal Soup. Just add bits and pieces of meat and veggies and thin out with water as you use the soup. Remember the old song Peas Porridge Hot ... nine days old?
  3. I save more than a penney this week. I went into a pawn shop owned by a friend of ours, and he had a wall heater (for 1000 sq.ft space) for 100 dollars!. We had priced them at close to 200. It is set up for propane, but will have to be installed by a licensed plumber, so I am sure he can do the conversion. Then today, I sat and scrubbed on the toilet tank and bowl that was SO black from soot and oily smoke, and it ALL came off. No need to pay 50 dollars for a new one (if we can get the toy out of the throat of the thing - no wonder it was a pain to keep plungering the thing for years. (Our kids are 30 and 25) lol Dora
  4. Found a book we have had for years titled Wild Food Field Guide and Cookbook by Billy Joe Tatum. Try to find new resources. Dora
  5. Thank you for the bump, Cat. I got back into sourdough a while back when one of DH's co-workers gave him some starter HE had. I just rejuvenated the starter, but it seems rather drier than usual. It has been in the fridge for about a week, and may just need to warm up. It is a "sweet starter" with sugar added in the feeding. Turns out great bread when I don't get impatient with the rising time LOL. Dora
  6. Would it work for racoon also? lol
  7. This will be good for me! I just found a good pedometer, and the guidelines will help with other activities. I look forward to posting regularly. Dora
  8. BUMP When you look at all the "ornamental grasses" and wonder if they make seeds in enough quantities to use for flour. lol Dora
  9. Just this morning, we put 2 pork steaks in the crockpot with seasonings and a can of cream of mushroom soup. When we got in from church, we heated a pint of green beans, some instant mashed potatoes, and frozen brussel sprouts. Served up the veggies, put down the potatoes, and piled the pork (falling apart) and the gravy over the potatoes. Three people (DS is 23) on $3.50 only because the soup was 70 cents and the pork steaks were a dollar apiece.lol.
