I'm late to the game, so which recipe did you use. I made my youngest DD the dry. Works great.

The trip for your outing and trinkets will be offset by the enjoyment and learning experience. This is a very worthwhile expense and will be remembered for years. Never stop learning. Kudos

Quote: Yes, you are doing it just right. Keep your stash away and keep a few out for her to appropriate. lol Some people have habits that will never change. You love her but realize that she carries baggage that thankfully you don't have. I think that every family has one or more of the needy...

Funniest thing ever. Aimee has been wearing her hospital scrubs to do the dog grooming in and they have worked fine. But they finally wore out. So she looked around for something catchy that was comfortable and came up with, wait for it, overalls. This from the lady that just about threw up when...

Kelsi, this has to be the most inspiring post I've seen in some time. What a great opportunity to give up the life you don't want and start another that you love. Tough, yeah, but so important in the grand scheme of things. "What did you do with your life?" Wonderful. We made the leap of...

Quote: I feel your pain!!!! I lost 50 lbs 2 yrs ago using a combo of low carb and the Perfect health diet. Kept it off for a year. It jump started my dead metabolism. But I stabilized at over 200. So still need to drop another 50. I'm doing a garden this year and going to eat every veggie I...

Gir!!!! , turnips has got to be the best thing in the world for you. Do you do net carbs? http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/carbcounts/a/turnips-carbs.htm

All very good points. I really need to get a freezer. That is, after I finish predator proofing the coop and getting my garden set up. A few months down the line. But I shop at Brookshires in NW La and they have a new Mexican shelf in the produce aisle that sells all the bulk seasonings...

Now this is interesting. My youngest daughter has seizures caused by medication taken years ago. Every time she tries to get off the seizure medication, she does fine for about 8 months and BANG, starts up again. This was caused by taking Wellbutrin for depression at least 12 years ago...

Show him how to throw a few crockpot freezer meals together and stick in the freezer. Before work, straight into the pot without thawing. High for 8 hrs. frozen.

Bee, now this is just sad. I've not always, sometimes never, ha, make the right decision. Learning to cook back in the day was not much. My mom didn't want me in the kitchen. So when I got a home and started raising my kids, I did the best I could. Fried up chicken, pork chops, potatoes...

Say the word and I'm there. So interested in this topic.

Fabulous idea. It looks like I''m going to be the one doing it. I can't get the fellow when I need or afford him when he's available. I bought one of those Black and Decker thingys that vacuums, and mulches and bags it up. I have a utility cart that I can pull around . I have a lot of...

Yeah, zone 8b lows are usually 15 at the very coldest. Tonight and the rest of the week is 16. And my cheap staple gun that I put up the clear shower curtains with is a bust. The staples are so little, it just tore out in a hurry. I used better materials, tarp, on the coop that the birds...

Ditto. I'm planting all tomatoes to get sun in the morning and after 12 or so it will be shaded. Safest way.

In a 4' x 8' raised bed I'm going to hammer short pieces of 1/2" rebar into the sides leaving about 4-6" above ground. Then take 3/4 or 1" PVC tubing on insert on top of rebar. it will make a hoop. Three of these in an 8' bed. You can tie another 8' PVC across the top to stabilize. Cheap...

I'm so new to the gardening thing that I haven't had a garden for the last two years because I didn't choose my direction wisely. I paid $60 last year to have my 30 x 50 garden tilled but no help to rake or form into beds. Much less planting. I'm too old to get out and do all that. This...

I did the same thing. Two inches high. Then I found out that you must plant 4 weeks before the first frost. That was it. Even covered it wouldn't grow. Edited to say I just read Lazy Gardeners post and it's dynamite. Great info about the cold frame inside the greenhouse. I'm in zone 8b...

Get yourself a pressure canner. They are very cheap right now and will save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. Imagine next winter having canned cabbage, cauliflower, maybe not broccoli because of the smell but carrots and mixed veggies. Search google for The Perfect Health Diet...

I've lost 50 pounds in the last 2 years. Well, I lost it in a year and have kept it off a year. Mainly low carb. I was able to get off blood pressure medication and colesteral (sp) med. The best thing about it was being able to change my dead metabolism to a working one again. The website...
