I tried dehydrated mushrooms once. The flavor was still there, but the texture was like chewing on a piece of rubber - even after soaking. I never thought of grinding them up and then soaking them ... great idea! I'll have to give that a try.

I like mushrooms too, but isn't that were the mushroom soup comes in? Each spring, I hit the fields on a mushroom hunt. I'm not an expert, but I know some of the species that I can safely eat. It is summer, now, and all I have are canned mushrooms from the store - fresh mushrooms don't last...

We use to get @#$@ on a single when I was in the service .... loved it! I am going to take a sentimental journey and try your recipe. It looks easy enough even for me ... thanks perchie!

If ever you need a hug, join a petanque club. Win or lose, everyone gets a hug! Petanque isn't very expensive and it is a good way to keep from getting isolated.

Gayle and I rode bikes together - for a while. Her front wheel met with my back wheel, and the result was her broken collar bone. That ended our bike riding adventures; so to follow up, we started flying lessons. A while back, I joined a petanque club, and some of the old folks there still...

I spent a year back East – Georgia. I fondly remember the clam bakes. That was in 66. And I remember the humidity as well. It was during winter time that I suffered as it seemed no matter what I wore, that cold damp wind would cut right through. Oliver, it happens to all of us who stay...

I also came from San Jose – born and raised there. I married my high school sweetheart there. I worked my whole carrier there with an large international company – retired in my 50's. I lost my wife to illness in 05. That cut retirement income in half, but I still get along well enough. We owned...

Beautiful!

Mine too!

I just started reading Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman, and I came across one of her observations: If you don't want much, there is always plenty. It made me laugh out loud.

Thanks for the post, Talithahorse. I've never heard of soapnuts before. I looked them up on the internet and found that they are offered by Amazon.

I've been reading on the internet that Borax isn't any more dangerous than Baking Powder. It also warned that we should not confuse Borax Acid with just plain Borax when determining toxicity. The chicks have been around it for a couple of years, but never the less, I will keep a more critical...

I have the same kind of setup, and I've noticed that the chickens like to congregate around it. They have shown no adverse effects from the home made detergent discharge.

I have been using homemade Fels Naptha detergent for about 3 years, so far, and I haven't experienced the problems you described.

I live in a similar situation in that I have to plan on periods of isolation due to storm damage to the bridges and roads that serve my location. I remember one winter (I believe it was 1998) when all access to this area was destroyed. We are a small community and we had to wait for about a week...

Thanks folks - I'll need to revisit the market to give these ideas a try.

A neighbor and I explored the use of goat meat. We visited our local Hispanic market and bought a few pounds. It turned out very tough and stringy. Is there anyone here that has some experience with this meat?

This is always a stressful experience, but to view this as another adventure just shows how special you are. I found that whenever one door closes, another one opens; so be on the alert for open doors, Arielle!

She could pinch a penny so hard, It would make Lincoln howl. Even now, I miss her.

Back then, it was just plain money - badly needed by my mother who was raising us on her own.
