Re: 101 ethical things to do before you die
I always laugh when books like this come out. Why would I want to adhere to a list that someone else wrote is not possible? It just gives you anxiety LOL I have my 101 one things I will do in my life. Most are done. Cause I sure have done way over 101 things out of the ordinary already and I am just...

Re: cooking oil and fat
depends on the oil/fat your are using and what you are 'frying'.
I keep oil very easily in the fridge or in the oven until needed again. Use often or if changing over to say, frying fish, last time use.
I hope most are not just oil once? Can can easily be stored and used again and again.

Re: survive on a very tight budget
greenorelse Food miles. LOL that is the term I was trying to say but never could remember it. :) Most self sufficient types do without alot if they are holding more in tune with their values. Eat local. Means having a 'bit less variety at the fingertips' but with canning and preserving etc. you can ...

have you thought about an outside oven? I have one on my 'project' list. Outside to bake bread, pizza, and any other foods. I have reserached so many great AND easy ovens to build. I just gotta get that time.

Re: survive on a very tight budget
I used my friends breadmaker one time to see if I wanted to buy one. Maybe it was the model? not sure but I didn't think it performed well. I would think some makers are way better than others. I truly think loaves in an oven do better. I always make 2 loaves at a time. Breadmaker can only make one ...

Re: Alternative Christmas Dinner
We have 2 holidays close together. Thanksgiving is turkey or (sometimes ham). So no way I want turkey for Christmas. We decided long ago Christmas dinner was going to be 'whatever we are in the mood for, something we haven't eaten in a bit so it is not a repeat, and easy to cook. This year is steaks...

Re: Get the best out of our veg patch
potatoes like new small reds do wonderful in containers. We farm and we have tons of old tires around right now. I stack. Fill with dirt and plant potatoes (I didn't have to do this cause I have tons of space, but I wanted to try this and) It works beautiful. Also a small kids pool filled with dirt ...

Re: Get the best out of our veg patch
How big are these 'relatively small' raised beds? if kinda small then you won't get a glut of harvest you are hoping for unless you plant both beds the same, and preserve some. Also for space saving, make a trellis. Cucumbers and other vines do very well climbing up saving space. Little ground space...

Re: survive on a very tight budget
a few great reasons: good chance your local farmer is NOT using unknown chemicals on your produce. Your produce was handled alot less in travel. your produce is vine ripened etc. vs. gas induced ripening for travel from long distance. freshness vs. long travel times to store keeps local money for lo...

Re: survive on a very tight budget
I guess being a non-gadget person makes me more green in a way. Never thought of it that way. I tell ya the older I get the less I want in the way of gadgets and technology. I want simple. I de-cluttered the house and it is the best feeling in my life. No clutter gives me just a simplistic feeling t...

Re: survive on a very tight budget
Do alot of people use breadmachines?
I never did. I make bread, rolls, etc. and do it freehand.
but I am one of those who hates kitchen gadgets actually. I don't like having to buy gadgets for everything. Just my personality I guess :)
