Yes MacIntoshs are all from the same original tree. But one grown in Michigan does not taste the same as one grown in Connecticut. I loved eating Gravenstein apples in Washington State, but the ones...
This is from Farm Journal's Country Cookbook 1959.
"First dig your pit. Dig it deep, the size depending on the amount of meat you plan to barbecue. Here are some helpful figures: Make the pit 3...
Pat. I know. Fix the oven! It is gas, and the part is about 65$$ and I am currently beyond broke (a most strange saga beginning with falling out of a van January 2 and not progressing well) plus...
Looked back through all pages of discussion, and didn't see anything about Electric Roasters. My oven is not working right now, and won't until I can get a new ignighter installed. I miss baking,...
If you cut the spuds into pieces and didn't let them sit for a couple of days before planting, that could be part of the problem. Chris
Adron, I have been wondering how to get these started. Hope they are still viable in the spring, as it is probably way too late to slurry and spread something in Michigan and hoping it will grow. ...
I use them to keep spiders at bay - it does seem to work. Chris
Okay, where does snow fencing distribute blowing snow? I have looked and looked on the web, and the best answer I have found is "place the snow fence for optimal drifting control." Does it drift...
JazzDad - Thanks for freshening up a memory of my dad! Many, may years ago, my dad and uncle had a contest as to whose peas would be ready to eat first. My dad was losing so he went out and spoke...
I like - looks like the youngest one is a consumer of the earth too! Chris
Geeze /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif am so sorry it is five below and blowing in Nebraska right now LOL. Or have you been working and playing so hard that you neglected to notice the summer? I...
Dearest CJDave - I believe you might be in need of a new hobby as well. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif When I last posted a question to CBN, I addressed it to Pat and Egon. Just regret that I left...
A crock pot is a handy thing to thicken tomato sauce in. Also will do paste. Keep it on low, and check every so often for a "pool" of thin liquid on top, and spoon that out. WIll also work for...
I am a bit confused by the term "Steam Pressure." I have a pressure canner. The lid fits tightly, and it needs to be vented before putting on the pressure gauge. It will hold two layers of pint...
I suggest you take them to the humane society instead of just letting them run around outside. If you do keep them, make sure they are nutered. Chris
Have been doing some searching - gunnite sounds like a possibility. Mostly, I keep reading "don't do this, it is a job for pros" over and over. If I could afford pros, probably wouldn't live in an...
Dear Pat and Egon ( /forums/images/icons/grin.gif sorry, couldn't resist /forums/images/icons/grin.gif ). Hi all - The foundation (stone and concrete) under my garage wall is crumbling and becoming...
Any farmer worthy of the name would be completely turned off by your wanting a "bigger yard to play in." Would your old trucks leak fluids, contaminating the land or the river? There was no mention...
If I recall the quote correctly - Emerson, I believe:
"A petty consistancy is a hobgoblin of little minds" Chris
I thought it was the snakes he drove out of Ireland. Chris
Our garbage people also compost yard waste, and I have always wondered about one thing: The majority of yard waste they collect is in suburbia where spraying chemicals to control weeds, or anything...
Hey Gary- one of my bosses is from Texas. He suggested 275 for the temp, one hour for each pound plus one hour. I would have to be roasting a really small one, they are sooo good. Chris
My son and his chums have decided to take care of it. We have a good-sized burn pit (buried a truck bed!) and he has bonfires most ever nice weekend. So they did tank up on a "few" beers, and...
Maybe I'll start one just to see what happens (ROFL) Chris
