I've had an Excalibur for years, the one with 9 trays and a timer. I love it!
No problems ever, and it can handle a ton of stuff at a time and dries pretty evenly. I still prefer to move trays...

We have live kefir going since last summer. Got the grains from someone on craigslist who had the grains going from someone from 'the old country'.
I've read that many storebought kefir strains...

Exactly. People know this and still eat this meat and support this factory system. Don't be one of them.

We just invested some of our tax return on local pastured beef. It's sweetened with spent brewery grains from a local brewer, and the test steaks and ground that we tried were good. We are paying...

You just keep reusing the grains from the kefir to culture fresh milk. The grains end up being weird gooey blobby clumps that separate from the cultured milk. So once you drain the cultured milk from...

We got a kefir starter from a local person on craigslist who had hers going for a while. I think we got it about a year ago and have been making our own ever since.

My routine is to add milk to...

When our microwave broke a few years ago, we tossed it and got a small convection/toaster oven for heating small things or for using when it's too hot for the big oven.

I don't like how microwaves...

I can't read this and not share my fave pop culture annoying video :p DJ Steve Porter featuring Vince Offer - "Slap Chop Rap" - YouTube

I wish this had a little more 'meat' to it ;)

Have We Been Miscounting Calories? - ScienceNOW

It helps with nausea, pain, and relaxing ;)

We grew a whole bunch of purple fingerling potatoes last year. They are really dense and the purple color stays nice and dark after cooking. I saw them at my local co-op and bought a few pounds to...

Sounds like stress....

My migraines really dropped after going primal.

Do you live in a medical MJ state? That can be very helpful with all aspects of migraines.

Some days I eat only 3, some days 6. I would say and average of 2 dz per week.

We grow our own and always have an ample supply, plus they are a nice portable protein source for work snacks. When...

I've gotten monthly (or more) migraines since i was 12 that are often what I would call an 8 or 9 on the usual hospital pain scale. Dealing with them over the years has really taught me some pain...

I'm 46 and after trying various degrees of primal for almost a year, find that sucking down buttered coffee and adding coconut oil to everything just doesn't help. The basics of primal are a good...

I get the white fingers thing sometimes. It started after I had near frostbite on St. Helens one year. Now if I'm too chilled and sedentary parts of my fingers lose circulation and turn white....

We don't use yogurt now that we have a kefir culture going, but I just don't like kefir on potatoes. Luckily our local dairy makes their own sour cream. Depending on the time of year and what the...

I'm very meh about Daniel Craig, but oddly enough still enjoyed Skyfall.

Another old fave is the original 1963 version of The Haunting. I could never watch that movie home alone.

For pure sappy...

Self-domestication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :p

Domesticated animals usually have lower aggression, smaller brains, etc. etc. There is a lot of interesting reading on the topic all over...

LOL me too.
I thought civilization existed because men wanted a more efficient 'resource' control system. (Resource = women & food.)

I liked the experience of raising our own beef, but not only is our place too small to do it right, those 2 steers were so naughty I couldn't wait for the knacker to come by the time they were...

Thanks Joanie!

Sometimes there is so much interwebs going on I need to take a break. But I really enjoy hanging out with people on this path, so here I am.

Starting my day with coffee, cream,...

We had Delawares for a while. They were decent layers, but I don't really like white birds so we moved them along.

One nice thing about experimenting with chickens is that we always have lots of...

I've felt pretty good having a potato maybe twice a week. If I'm otherwise primal, a good potato meal will somehow cause next-day weight loos for me.

Hash browns make a great mattress for fried...

My life has been in an uproar since mid-December. Lots of individual high-stress events blurred into some really crappy (well, tasty wheaty) eating, serious sleep deprivation, and almost no exercise....
