    Ron, Thanks so much for Carls Friend website.I sent off for my yeast. I have been trying to do some research on how the old timers kept their sourdough without refrigeration.

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    O WOW Guess its not true sourdough. I got the recipe from my book The Bread Bible by Beth Hensperger. I probably would not have been patient to wait six months...not my virtue :( Thanks so much for information. :)

    Best Chicken Recipes!

    Not so much as a recipe but a different way of cooking meat. My mother use to take a deep roaster and put about an inch or so of clean rock salt. She would then place her chicken or toughest meat (couldnt afford prime cuts) into the center of the bed of clean rock salt then cover the meat...

She caught her foot between two 2x4 that we made for roosts. I took her off thinking she could recover. She lost her balance and could not...

    Baby Chick Nursery

    I'm in the process of getting the container ready for the new arrivals. The first 3 or 4 days I've read to have a slip free flooring. At first I put Pine Shavings down...that's OK but I seem to never be satisfied so I replaced the Pine Shavings with a Easy Shelf Liner ...better grips. In testing...
