Sounds like a good idea to me, as long as you don't forget where the potatoes are when it is time to dig them up,

I know we used to soak the chicken wishbone in vinegar so we could twist and bend it. Wonder if you could do that with your bones, or if that would leach out all the calcium. I know when I simmer my chicken bones long enough, I can grind them in my magic bullet, but that would take forever for...

We have also been without TV for 4 years or more. The kids never even missed it. We order movies from the library if they don't have something we want to watch on the shelves. We play some video games together and read books, I am usually reading at least 2 books - one that my 15 yo DS is...

Quote: me too, I need to start looking around Depending on how far you are from me I can hook you up with the same person--You can buy the whole cow or find others to go in on it with you..Typically he may have a list of folks who only want half or 1/4 and he waits until the whole cow is...

Quote: Around here, you can buy beef -- 1/4, 1/2, whole, etc for about 2.50-3.00/lb processed. Generally, a whole cow has to be purchased, but you split it into quarters or halves with friends or family. My family buys pigs and cows at the local fair from 4H kids. That can run a little higher...
