Twilight

When I was bringing in 3-5 gallons of goat milk at a time.....

I pasteurized it for the kids then after it had cooled (but not

always if I was not thinking ) I would dump a container of

live culture yogurt into the bucket. By the time it was ready

for the kids(morning milk was evening feeding, evening milk

was morning feeding), the milk would have turned into a lovely

yogurt consistency.

I did not have time or energy to make yogurt for myself...but the definite

thing is to use live culture if you start with store bought.

All the money paid into the insurance companies and never paid out.........

some that are bowing out are going to laugh all the way to the bank

The weighted vest could be similar to the wraps they put on dogs

during storms that are afraid of thunder.

Babies wrapped in swaddling clothes are more calm that those that are not.

The headphones sound good too.

Children with autism can frequently hear noises that

others can't to an exaggerated level of sound, dumping

toys on a table could sound like and explosion..a raindrop

can sound like a hammer beating on a metal gong..

But autism affects differently ,finding the best route is going to take time

i have seen advertisements of those for the last 50 years. I do not know about the end

product or why they have never caught on to be a regular in everyone's garden.

Both potatoes and tomatoes are of the nightshade family (as well as peppers, tomatillos,

eggplant and others)

After using my homemade laundry detergent for years, it did less than perfection.

I would start using commercial detergents to clean the clothes.

Whereas i prefer the homemade, it does not work in all water for all clothes.

Here at this place it is a disaster.

I have a friend with iron water plus other minerals and she uses. only ( 1/2 cup < >) borax and (1/2 cup < > )ammonia,

clothes and washer look clean.

I am going to try that for a month and see what the results are.

You have the chance of shingles if you had chicken pox in your youth/past.

If you have never had chicken pox you can still get it and the older you are the worse it is.

If you have shingles you should not be around people(usually the very young) as they may

get chicken pox from your shingles.

I have had both chicken pox(in my youth) and shingles in the last 10 years.

I do not wish for anyone to get shingles anywhere on their body!!!!

We might can ask questions about somethings, but when it comes to mislabeling.....how can we know?

Wonder what was the health outcome on this and on how many people...and will they ever know.....

and how did FDA happen to find out about this......

Garden produce, for vegetables fresh and canned

Meat...range chickens (eggs), maybe a goat kid or once in a while a pig

Fish from the pond

Milk/butter from the goats or the neighbors cow

We bought staples- flour, sugar, salt, shortening.

Momma would toast the bread very dark before adding the milk gravy

which might have sausage,or chicken in it. Something I still like!

But because that had been my diet with only rarely red meat,

when I was expecting my first child

I had to eat liver or beef preferably 3 times a week...

First time ever to make chutney.

The first made 17 1/2 pints.

Pear base, raisins, dried cranberries, onion, mustard seed, pineapple, carrots,

celery, a few chopped dates, nutmeg and cinnamon, brown sugar ,

a little white sugar and a little sleepy honey

2nd batch 6 pints

same as above without the onion or cranberries plus one small hot pepper,

1/2 of a small zucchini and a pint of extra sour apple sauce brown sugar

and a little molasses

You can make chutney with anything that goes together!!

It is not only Ohio but also California...believe it was not in California first , but identified in Ohio.

It could be in many other states as well just not identified.

You know if you always wash your dishes in a pan you can easier

save water and carry that good stuff to your plants.

I think these vertical walls are a great way for anyone- apartment dwellers or...

to raise a garden- no excuse not too!

Wishing you silver linings behind every cloud.

Have a great year!

Not just now but for the whole year, wishing you the best !

To my 'selected' strong-minded friends: If you can read the following paragraph, forward it on to your friends with 'yes' in the subject line. Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!

If you can read this, you have a strong mind, too.

Can you read this? Only 55 people out of 100 can.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

If you can raed this frowrad it.

Pears!

6 pints plain- 4 cups sugar to 3qts water syrup.......same syrup for all

6 pints spiced- 1 star anise, vanilla bean, 1 peppercorn in each jar

4 pints gingered- 1 piece of candied ginger in each jar

I may or may not be older than a lot of you. But we were brought up from scratch, lived off of what we had,

washed with a wringer washer until I was 31, hung out out my clothes for all but maybe 2-3 years of my life.

Recently,the last two -three months , with a washer that was working sporadically then not at all, I started

washing by hand. I had done so when I first moved here because the house was being worked on

(repair/rebuilding that was not planned in the purchase decision ) but now without a washer I am washing

everything by hand.

Yes i could buy another washer....but I have no faith in these modern conveniences that last for one year then fall apart....

My washer has a 10 year warranty on the transmission, 2 years all over,... two years and the washer is dead! It is

not the transmission so i am out of luck.

But if power goes down completely, ....you talk about generators, they take fuel and yes some of you are

storing fuel, not gas I think ,, but anyway, some of these work methods you see on these totally off grid-

NO power farms - as 100 years ago- not counting windmills, and stream turbines/generators, may very well come in handy.

We have become soft, in expecting everything made easier for us..............all of this can be taken away.... ALL

C4C,

My heart goes out for you I am so glad you have an understanding husband.

I hope the future will bring you the strength that you need in the future, with

peace and assurance to deal with it.

Cat

You are proof beauty can rise from ashes. After your own unhappy upbringing you have created

your own loving family showing them love you did not get.

You are instilling traits that will never be forgotten- at least I hope they will not!

Thank you so much for sharing

If you are calling lug lids the ones that twist on but not screw.....I have used them

over and over for years and find they make a tighter seal than regular two piece.

I have never used the long neck narrow mouth like the old catsup glass bottles but I know the

Mennonites saved them and used them exclusively for catsup.

I agree, I figure shipping in before i bid to see if it is worth it. If close enough you can pick it up cheaper.
But i have received some extra good bargain through them. UPS rates are cheaper than Fed ex

6 pints of black eyed peas 10 pints of brown lentils yesterday

I packed all my bags, arrived and went to unload the freezer chest with all the food.........

Not there. Called the neighbor and she said it was sitting there by the door........

Sigh these things happen....
