Reminds me of the miniposter I saw somewhere: If I don't find SOMETHING to wear to the ball, it's curtains!

"I saw it in the window and just couldn't resist it."

My page jumps too. But, what is REALLY irritatiing, is when the MOUSE jumps! I can be typing a word in a sentence, and the mouse jumps back to a previous word and sometimes to a previous word in a previous line!

The "Mexican Jumping Bean" mouse is very very annoying. (and no, I did NOT format the previous word with strikeout text!!!)

Don't know which is my most favorite...her or Dehydrate2store! LOL Katzcradul is the only one I've ever heard tell us how to keep beans long term so that we can actually EAT them some day. A friend of mine tried to cook some she had set back several years ago and she said she boiled them for 2 days and still couldn't eat them. I have a few bags set back but most of mine are now in cans...pintos, northerns etc...and in a size appropriate for us two.

 

What is the secret? Can you post the method or provide a link???

 

Midnightmom, Katzcradul is the woman who made the how-to video that Jeepers posted above. She rinses/sorts the beans, then an overnight soak, then drains/rinses, then cooks -- I believe in the video she shares that she uses a pressure cooker but noted regular cooking is also fine. Then she dehydrates them.

 

If I remember correctly she also mentioned the price difference -- 8-10 cents/serving her way verses 80-84 cents/serving buying them freeze-dried. Some significant savings there!

 

She's got a lot of other interesting YouTube videos as well.

Are you saying that pre-cooking & then dehydrating is the only way to preserve them for LTS w/o them turning to rocks???

Jeepers and Nerd-

Do you buy the jars as you go along or are these all jars that you've had "forever"?

"2 hour turkey" was wonderful.

turkey sandwiches on croissants were tasty, tasty treats.

company (my 2 sons) was terrific.

Blood sugar reading this morning????????

Off the charts!!!

(under 400, but not by much!)

It may be just a little late, but I think you will enjoy anyway. But...............you have to watch the videos in order!

The first is a CLASSIC clip from WKRP in Cincinnati:

Now watch this clip (Keeping the newscaster's remarks about the turkey's organizing a "counter-attack" )

Thank you Cat. I don't have six year old butter, but the butter I do have has been in there for about a year. Nice to know it is still good.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Whoa! Hold the horses! Cat is turning into a ninja!!!

And here is her weapon of first choice.................................

Here is the "bad guy" when Cat is done with him.............

Here is Cat when she is done with the "bad guy."

Here is me for thinking up this reply.

Some of those cats were really, really camoflagued camouflaged. (Is there a spell-checker here???)

Gotta love the holiday sales!

Finally found the "Mark Forums Read" button! Bottom of the page---left side.

Found a youtube video earlier today about making a 16 brick rocket stove from ADOBE bricks: Not concrete (can explode); not firebricks (too expensive). Sooooooooooooooo, here is the link!!!

Has the site been redesigned? I am having some 'display' issues. The forums column is about 1/3 the widthe that is used to be, and the text is twice as big (at least). The information column (on the right) has a BIG gap between it and the forum column. The whole deop doen list for my 'notifications' is also displayed, instead of there being an arrow for seeing the list.

Anybody else having these issues???

You also might look for Dreamfield's pastas. They are also made with inulin (and semolina wheat) and taste just like regular pasta. It is available at Safeway and Raley's (here anyway) and sometimes goes on sale. When it does, I visit the Dreamfields site and try to print coupons (usually $1 off) before I buy it. I have multiple boxes of penne, angel hair, spaghetti, and elbows.

To make mac n cheese, I cook the Dreamfield's elbows and use the cheese package from Kraft mac n cheese. I store the Kraft pasta for giving away to food banks, or neighbors. Heck, I might even need to use it myself at some point after .

I would like to know where to buy the flour!

I don't know if anyone read the comments below the video, but one person said to MAKE SURE you buy FIRE BRICKS and NOT CEMENT ones. The cement ones have "air pockets" which, during prolonged use, can overheat and EXPLODE!!!

Stay safe.

I hope YOU are as upset and mad about this as I am!!!

TAKE ACTION: Go to this site <http://www.theblaze.com/stories/anti-obama-benghazi-meme-gets-censored-for-violating-facebooks-statement-of-rights-and-responsibilities/> and "Like" the story. It will post to your Facebook page, and will INCLUDE this pic. Let's overwhelm FB and show them that we don't likee to be censored, that we STILL have a First Amendment, and that we SUPPORT our warriors and heroes!!!

==========================================================================================================

Facebook reportedly took down an image, or a meme, posted by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) that was critical of President Barack Obama’s handling of the terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi. You may have actually seen it before it was taken down — it had earned roughly 24,000 “likes.”

The meme, which can be seen below, shows both Obama and deceased al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden with the following message: “Obama called the SEALs and THEY got bin Laden. When the SEALs called Obama, THEY GOT DENIED.”

Dr. Atkins WAS right!

Let me repeat that: The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine.

 

What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.

The low-carb mantra is........................shop the edges of the store. (where the fruits, veggies, and meats are).

What you can do is choose whole foods your grandmother served and not those your mom turned to as grocery store aisles filled with manufactured foods. By eliminating inflammatory foods and adding essential nutrients from fresh unprocessed food, you will reverse years of damage in your arteries and throughout your body from consuming the typical American diet.

Except now you also need to be aware of GMOs in your food...packaged AND fresh.
