    Just champagne bubbly would show it all.

  • Re: Indoor Gardening?

    You can grown greens outdoors - such as Kale, Collards, Mustard if you have a sturdy convering that reduces the outside temperature but allows the light to come in. Check out Square Foot Gardening (book) or Gardening in Four Seasons (author is ....Haas (another book)). You can probably get them at your local libray or through Interlibrary loan for ...

  • Re: "Heat and Electricity 101"

    This has always baffled me so thank you for your articulate response. I (perhaps out of ignorance) keep my temperature at 60 degrees and then bundle up against the drafts. At night I turn up the wall furnace in my bedroom one half hour before bedtime just to keep my nose from freezing. Then I turn it down to just below comfortable before I climb ...

  • Re: Favorite Meal $5 or less

    Sounds delicious - I would call that a vegetarian burrito. We do the same and add some sauteed zucchini with onions. I don't eat dairy products and my sweetheart doesn't cook so we eat alot of easy, simple things.

  • Re: November 19 $$$ Stretching

    I made my own Carne Adovada - which is meat in a red chile sauce. I usually buy this and it costs about $8/Pint. Today with my slow cooker, chicken thighs and pork loin roast from Costco - I made about 3 Qts for $15. So 2 cups (1 pint) vs 12 cups (3Qts or 6 Pints). I saved $33. Not bad for about 20 min. of work.

  • Re: Does anyone have tips for making marmalade ?

    I forgot to add - most often marmalade is topped with a paraffin coating and not put through the pressure cooker canning style. You can put it through a hot bath, but the canning procedure is different. Check out that Joy of Cooking recipe all consider looking it up all www.allrecipes.com.

  • Re: Does anyone have tips for making marmalade ?

    Joy of Cooking has an excellent recipe we have used for years. It calls for alot of sugar but the marmalade is as good as we ate in England --the home of excellent marmalade. I agree you have to thinly slice the rind. Do yourself a favor and buy organic as the rind holds all the pesticide and food coloring. Those are things you do not want to ...

  • Re: Homemade deodorants?

    Here are a couple of solutions. I have tried them all and they all work. 1) Use baking soda plain - just dab it on the underarm. Yes, it cakes, but that tells you that you put on too much. 2) Oil or Oregano (get it at your ehalth food store - one bottle should last you a good 10 years)- you just need one drop (yes, one drop) mixed w/ three ...

  • Re: Are We As Consumers Doing Ourselves in by Stockpiling?

    I don't stockpile...but I do think ahead. I like to get staples in quantity that I know will provide nutrition such as rice, beans, oatmeal, salt, etc. We are very picky eaters because we insist on unprocessed food. Our major treat allowance is to buy high quality food. We make things fresh, we freeze for the unexpected, and we cook for ...
  • Shampoo

    I am searching for a new shampoo and not necessarily the cheapest one. Let me know what brands have given you good results. If given the opportunity to get shampoo w/o considering cost....which one would you pick?
