I had thought about that, but I don't have a kitchenaid or a grinder, so may pick some up and freeze them until I have something to use to grind them.

I have a low sodium bullion base that I love, so this would work great! I also could probably sub the gluten free flour replacement mix (it's a 1:1 sub for wheat flour) for the wheat free aspect.
Thanks We need to find out if this is possible to can, yes we do!
OH! Does this sub...

I usually pick up whatever extra I can of cream of mushroom around Thanksgiving... they get down to about 88 cents/can. The cream of chicken never goes down though, at least not that I've ever found around me.
Does anyone here know how to make their own condensed soups? I have a bunch of "cheater" dinner recipes that call for cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup but that stuff has gotten EXPENSIVE (over a dollar a can!) and it's super salty. I'd hate to ditch some recipes that I could use on a...

I do the same thing. I get a lot of samples or coupons to get a free item. I haven't bought toothpaste and lotion in about 3 years because I have that many samples and coupons for a free product.
See I need to learn this stuff.

The recipe I used was a cup each of borax and washing soda, a bar of fels naptha, and 2 gallons of water. I use 1/4c per load. If my math is right, that's around 120-125 loads. I think each box of borax/washing soda makes 3-4 loads, I don't know yet... haven't made many batches yet (on...

Wow. I need to save for one of these. 13% more energy utilization AND I wouldn't have to worry about burning myself nearly as much. I already cook out of stainless and cast iron.
Quote:
Borax = $2.98
Fels Naptha - $0.98
Washing Soda - $4.79
Total with tax = $9.45.
Now, I will be able to get it cheaper next time the ingredients have coupons. I had a coupon for washing soda but I'd forgotten about it and it expired. It would have been a dollar off. Also, the fels...

That's such a shame really. I know what it's like though - when I was pregnant, the smell of any meat made me feel ill. All I could eat was calamari. And boy, did I eat a lot of it.
It went away afterwards, and now I love all those foods. Still can't get past escargot!
So far, the...
A friend of mine sent me this Apple Sweet Potato Soup recipe and it's GOOD. It's a bit of a fridge-buster for me, and makes for supercheap lunches, so I'm sharing it.
Apple Sweet Potato Soup
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 stalks of celery, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2-4 cloves of garlic...

I personally chose not to convert to Judaism. Since my dad is a Jew but my mother is Catholic, we would either have to be adopted by my grandmother/other female or choose to convert. My grandmother died when I was 10, so none of us went that route. My oldest sister didn't convert, her...

Hopefully Im not being rude here, I would like to know why rabbits are not ok to eat? I understand about pork but never heard about dietary prohibitions for rabbits. Can you give me more details?
Thank you

You could also trade a couple of 80 to 100# hogs for front quarters of a deer.That part would be kosher right?
Well, kinda. They'd have to come kill the hogs or rabbits because we wouldn't be able to (we can kill it to get rid of them, but we can't handle them/keep them long enough to...
I've never eaten rabbit, or hog for that matter. I was raised Jewish and that's not considered acceptable to eat. However, it is nice to know that if my parents have rabbit issues out on their land, or wild hogs, maybe I could have my dad post it on craigslist and get people out there who would...

So the zipping tab won't leak with the introduction of liquid? Awesome. I'm going to make the soup tonight. I'm really new to freezing meals so I'm hoping that this is going to work out like she said it would...
I gave my dad all the info on the beef that has been posted so he and my mom could decide if they wanted to raise one or purchase part of one. I think they're now leaning on purchasing part of one, and if they do I'm going to go in with them for a quarter. Far more chicken gets eaten in my house...
Thanks to all the suggestions for curling my hair! I got a pm from someone to try rag curls, and since I had flannel fabric sitting around (Christmas present "extra" that I couldn't bring myself to get rid of) I cut strips and used them to curl my hair. I don't have enough socks to sacrifice...
