In keeping with my low-carb diet, I use ground up pork rinds instead of bread crumbs-- Just make sure you remove the tooth-breaking bits that may be in there!

Thank you everybody. I had a wonderful day. All three of my "birds" came back to the "nest" for the day. The boys took their sister to the shooting range to help her get over her fear of guns. She used a shotgun (loaded with birdshot) and a handgun. She managed to hit the target with both guns! After they came back to the house we went out to dinner. We had a wonderfrul time. It was a special day for my special b-day. I turned 60! (imagine 20 of these cake gifs) Ouch!!!

We can thank Michelle Obama and her "healthy" diet rampage for this change.

And, finally...................................................... The article goes on to detail how a truck stoppage would have a dominoe affect other industies due to lack of fuel deliveries to gas stations, etc. Scary stuff to even think about..............................

Another great article from the same source:

I just got back from my local Grocery Outlet store where I scored twenty-four 16oz jars of Skippy peanut butter for 99c/jar!!! It's close-dated, but what the hey............................. (use-by date is Sept 2011)

Does anybody know if you can dehydrate canned apricots? I got them from the guberment, and I don''t like them soft like that, but I do like the 'leathery' dehydrated type.

Which part of a yellow onion is the seed/bulb for growing your next year's crop???

I saved bunches of pennies today! The kitchens in my apartment complex are being remodeled. Mine was the first, so I got a pretty good idea of what was going into the dumpster. I also got a really good of idea of what to divert from going into the dumpster! I got the guys to put aside for me the inner shelving from my apt and from some others too. It's 46 X 16 X 5/8 pressboard (?)~I got six of those. They have also been trimming out the kitchens with walnut finished paneling~96 X 7 3/4 X 5/8. There are two panels/apt and they have thrown away pieces as short as 24" and as long as 42"! I got them to set aside some of those pieces for me too. I kind of knew what I wanted to do with the pieces, but got of depressed when I couldn't find any way to cut the pieces to the sizes I needed. ....until I finally got the idea to ask Home Depot if they would make the cuts for me. Guess what? They did!!! And...................they didn't charge me either!!! So, I've finally got all these pieces of shelving cut the the sizes I want - now I just need to get the energy to get some shelves constructed!

Just wanted to update in this thread that I DID find a canner! Bought it on ebay for $35 + s/h.

I've been actively searching for a "deal" on a canner. I hope I find something soon.
