  1. Lay them out on a large flat cookie type sheet do not let them touch each other and place in the freezer. After they are frozen you can wrap in wax paper 1 bacon strip role wax paper over then place next bacon strip, then role paper again until all are wrapped. Place them in a zip lock or vacuum bag. By having them not touching each other on the cookie sheet they freeze faster. Or at least that is how I do it. By wrapping them it is easy to pull out 1 or 2 at a time as needed, like when you want just 1 to add to a dish for flavoring.
  2. When DH and I first got married he was a very picky eater meat and potatoes only. I had a DD from my 1st marriage and warned him that I would be cooking balanced meals because DD needed to have balanced meals. If he did not like what I cooked he could just not eat the offending item, but if he ever refused to eat something and the children then tried to refuse to eat something because he was refusing to eat it we would revisit this subject. At about the time DD1 was 5 and her sister was 3 DH pushed some peas off to the side of his plate stating he was not going to eat them. DD immediately did the same thing. It was one of those moments he looked at DD and then at me and said yes you will because I now have to eat them also. LOL I was so proud of him that day. Never had any problems with him eating his veggies after that day.
  3. Steph posted a link in another forum and when I searched around on it I found this. http://shilala.homestead.com/weasel.html It might help you get a better hatch rate, or at least I hope it helps.
  4. I have also cooked bones down in the pressure cooker. You can then mash them with a potato masher they are very soft. I have never eaten them just added them to dry dog food to stretch there food. I don't see why it could not be added to meat loaf to make it stretch further and be more nourishes. Thanks for the idea.
  5. Hi Lele! Just dropped by to say hi and let you know that I really like your avatar!

  6. http://www.choosingvoluntarysimplicity.com/mock-maple-syrup/ We had this posted a long time back but could not find it on a search. Found it on another site so I thought I would put it here for all of us. Mock Maple syrup Peel 6 medium sized potatoes. Boil these uncovered in 2 cups of water until but one cup of fluid remains. Remove the vegetables for use any way you want. Stirring the liquid until it reaches the boiling point again, slowly add one cup of white sugar and one cup of brown sugar. Once this has entirely dissolved, take the pan off the heat to cool slowly. … But bottle the syrup and tuck it away in a cabinet for several days to mature. Taste it again at the end of that time and see if you are not pleasantly amazed. We were still amazed that morning. The flavor was almost beyond comparison, a phantom bouquet that haunted our taste buds; something to be savored very deliberately and lingeringly. It tasted to us now exactly like prime maple syrup, and we’d both been reared in maple syrup country. –from the book Wilderness Wife, by Bradford and Vena Angier Note do not add any salt to the water when cooking the potatoes. Also allow the water to cool then pore off the 1-cup of water after it has cooled and any little pieces of potato have settled it will make for clearer syrup. Add the sugar reheat to dissolve the sugar. Then bottle it in a sterilized jar and seal. The longer this sets the better the flavor. Leave it sit at least 5 days. Lele
  7. The first time I raised chickens there were no eggs. Or at least I did not see any eggs in the nests. Found they were laying them in a extra large depression in the ground under the coop. When I finally found them there 4-5 doz. in 2 different places. Look around they might be hiding those eggs. Lele
