    Time for Zucchini Tricks

    You're a long ways from me but if you were my neighbor I would definitely give you some zucchini bread. Most of the time I make it with chopped walnuts added because that's how I like my sweetbreads. But I am going to have to make some for my one friends kids that does not have nuts due to nut...

    Time for Zucchini Tricks

    Hmmm.... I was unaware of that. I'm using the YouTube app on my phone and it shows up there so I assumed it would show up for everybody.

    Time for Zucchini Tricks

    I just used the one she put in the video description. She does mention in the video that she put the complete recipe in the description section below the video. Maybe you just missed that?

    Time for Zucchini Tricks

    I've been seeing a glut of Zucchini from my garden as well. I recently found a zucchini bread recipe that uses extra zucchini and really like it. So most of my freezer bags of shredded Zucchini is in 5 cup portions just for this recipe. I'm also spiralizing lots of it and sauteing it or...

    How's your Garden ?

    Harvested my first zucchini of the year tonight. Harvested five of them two of which I gave to my good friends Manuel & Jane. Corn is looking good and tasseling already. Peas are nearly as tall as I am and taller than the trellis. Onion and cabbage are looking pretty good. Robbie has huge leaves...

    How's your Garden ?

    Got my new hillside rhubarb garden planted. 56 plants of 8 different cultivars. Veggie gardens doing well for the most part. Especially the new low tunnel garden. Zucchini and winter squash are blooming. Corn is ~8" tall. Broccoli, cabbage and onions are looking real good. Potatoes in my 1/2...

    Best Books About Soap Making

    Amazon has the soap naturally book for $95. Still pretty high but not the $300+ that other site had listed. My guess is that it is out of print. I often see out of print books listed for crazy $$$. If one really wanted such a book without a lot of searching it could be had just cost more than...

    Farm life with Grandma...

    Well last year all my Emiko hybrid Napa style cabbages were utterly destroyed by the slugs. I didn't even bother trying to salvage them just fed them to my chickens. They love them and gobbled up any remaining slugs that were in/on them. But I had some other varieties of cabbage that survived so...

    Farm life with Grandma...

    I sure miss my grandma sometimes. Especially when I'm out picking wild raspberries. I can just barely remember picking berries withy grandma. Guessing that's partially why I love it so much. When I first bought my house there was no garden here. I planted 3 cabbages in a big plastic tub. Well I...

    Pouring Things Like Lip Balm

    I guess for me it's much easier to clean 1 filler tray than 48 individual lip balm tubes that I then have to apply labels to and the counter top etc. And since the filler tray fits in my dishwasher with my small double boiler, Pyrex cup and other tools used it's not really that big of a deal. I...

    Pouring Things Like Lip Balm

    There is very minimal waste. I scrape off the top and reheat. If your careful and precise at pouring there is zero waste. I'm not that steady handed but my friend Jane did it no problem. 48 tubes and she didn't spill a drop. I wash mine in the dishwasher along with the other tools after scraping...

    How's your Garden ?

    I couldn't really say as I've mostly eaten unknown varieties. Selecting different cultivars was part of the fun of the new rhubarb garden. Some are known to be sweeter and others I'm growing because of high yield rates. Starting from a root crown you can harvest some the year after planting and...

    Pouring Things Like Lip Balm

    I use the silicone lip balm filler trays. I wouldn't make lip balms without them! They are not that expensive. These work better than the plastic trays because they stretch to fit different brands of tubes that might not always be the exact same size around even though they hold the same volume...

    How's your Garden ?

    Thanks! Yeah I'm hoping the tunnels will help with growing winter squash and a few other things that don't normally grow well here in Alaska. I bought a jig online that's going to allow me to bend EMT conduit into my tunnels so hopefully they last for many years. Found a corn variety (Yukon...

    How's your Garden ?

    Still to cold to plant! Rhubarb is doing nicely though. Putting in a new Rhubarb garden this year and the starts (started from seed in January)are mostly looking good. Adding a new veggie garden with low tunnels. The old veggie garden will be planted as normal. All the starts are doing pretty...

    Soap dishes....

    Thanks for the link. My buddy has a woodshop where he makes handcrafted wooden toys that he sells at craft fairs. I'm guessing he could whip me up a dozen of those in less than an hour. I may have him make me a few.

    Soap dishes....

    Thanks! I really like it myself. I'm not really that artistic and they had a lot of choices in colors. All their glaze colors are selected by choosing from already glazed small owl knick knacks. So you have to envision your piece in the same color as the small owl knick knack. The glazes change...

    Soap dishes....

    I kind of figured the ridges in this soap dish might work well enough for drying my soap. But I ordered some soap savers just in case. I'm also thinking of eventually making a shave soap. My local paint your own ceramics place where I painted the seahorse has some wide mugs that I think would be...
