Mother

I have used them in in broth and in soups. I save all clean peelings, skins, vegetable tops, stems of all sorts of vegetables and herbs in large bags in the freezer, adding to it as I have them. When I have enough to make a big batch I make vegetable broth out of them. I have used them for making pesto but as Dee says, they can be overpowering. Euphrasyne, I like the idea is using them finely chopped with roasted potatoes.

That bay window just screams for a giant Christmas tree. A beautiful room and a great job. 👍

Wishing all a blessed day. 🌻

Jeepers, would it be possible for your son or DIL to take pictures of one of the patterns and send them to you? We do that in our family. That way you could get started in something.

I hope your day was WONDERFUL. 🌹💐🌺🌸🌷🌻🌼

Depending on how big they are and how old they are and who you talk to, the turbines can take as little as 60 gallon or as much as hundreds. Lots of truths and untruths out there but the consensus is that they DO leak, a lot. Do they ever pay for themselves?

When my son lived near Houston he called that road systems ‘spaghetti loops’. Please do have the test …somewhere…. For POTS. Not only is it very common after Covid but a growing amount of evidence is showing connections to auto immune diseases like Lupus and others. They should at least take an ANA test.

SPIDEY. HAPPY. BIRTHDAY. HAVE A SUPER DAY.

As a former herb shop owner, I say they tried to smoke them thinking they were ummm weed(s) and could breathe quite well but got a terrible headache!!! Just saying!

I’m so sorry you are going through this with your GS. You are too sick, because of him no less, to take any more.

If you can’t eat it……eat it!

Like you I make a white sauce and if enough I use it to make biscuits to go with it. Or I use it to make vinegar cheese (quark). The whey left over from the cheese I can also use in biscuits or other baked goods calling for milk.

Ambergris, I’ve been doing some qigong (chi gung) lately. Some of it is possible in the wheelchair.

Jeepers, good suggestion. Ambergris, too bad your instructor doesn’t have a video or two. Not the same as working direct but maybe helpful.

(((((((Annarchy and MIL)))))))) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I’m so glad you got home safe.

Switchel was what was brought to farmers in the fields during hot weather even during pioneer times. The recipe varied by ingredient availability though usually vinegar, sugar, and an herb like ginger. In the Midwest it was often wild ginger. I have seen recipes in wagon train diaries that used wild herbs, molasses, water, and just a bit of vinegar for the fizz. Don’t forget the cranberry juice for UTI’s. It’s even backed by fairly recent research.

Welcome back!

I believe you would be. Perhaps start with your doctor. He may know. Otherwise maybe some online searches might get you on the path. Please try.

I just had a thought Orchid. Could you be a candidate for a service dog? I met a man two weeks ago in the grocery store who had similar episodes and his dog had been trained to let him know when he was going to have one. His dog was a border collie but he told us they use many different breeds for this. It might be worth investigating if you haven’t already. 🐕‍🦺

Thanks. I was thinking more of crumbles like with beef. Having to freeze it to store kind of defeats the purpose for preps. But being safe is important. Maybe canning the chicken first and then use it chopped or pulled would be better.

I wonder if it can safely be dehydrated?

Oh Orchid, I’m so sorry you are going through this. You are in my prayers.

Orchid/Zzelle. We’re glad to have you here no matter the name. If you (or others) have trouble again try contacting us at the link at the bottom or at mrssurvival@yahoo.com

Shalendra. Welcome to Mrs. S. Thank you for that info. I’m sure it will help to find reliable supplies of Kava.
