NO TRUCK!!!!!! Well maybe the Friday truck AND the Tuesday truck will both come on Monday.


You'll have to read her book ... when she publishes it.


"swap" seems sort of like an equal exchange. I think you are not making out here!

Only when canning as the jar is an oxygen free environment. The toxin can't grow with Oxygen, with the garlic oil, oils and fats prevent O2 from reaching the garlic, so the toxin will grow in the garlic.

More than 20 years ago I was in Riyadh looking in our little compound library for something to read. I found a book written in the late 17th/early 18th century, a survival guide for homesteaders heading west. I had to figure out how translate some of the terminology but it was an awesome read and packed full of ways to keep food and stay alive.

That was truly the beginning of my quest to understand food science. I remember my grandmother had jars of canned goods on the shelf capped with paraffin wax (she was canning before Ball invented the two piece lid). I also remember her pulling out the wax, scraping the mold off the surface and setting the jelly jar on the table. So I really wondered how people didn't die from food poisoning back in those days. I mean, no preservatives, no chemicals, no modern machinery, no FDA or USDA???? So I started by learning how the different food borne bugs grow and what inhibits them or kills them.

Wow that's really cool!!! You seem like you've learned a lot along the way.


That's very true

Hoop coop....

I've been wanting to build one of those.
 
KD, it's amazing what you can learn when you start digging and challenging "conventional wisdom".... As for the hoop or cattle panel coop,it's my new favorite. No bedding, no cleaning, just move it to new grass. That is a wonderful thing... Unfortunately, "move it to new grass" requires a chainsaw at my place and dry conditions. I'll eventually get there just one weekend at a time. Oh, and just a safety note... Chainsaws and slippery wet hills don't go well together.
