Weight Loss

So someone passed on to my family this weight loss program. It’s called the Stomach Flu. The only one seemingly unaffected is The Boy. I’m so glad for that. Otherwise, who would take care of the rest of us? He has been such a great help, but I’m sure he is ready for us all [...]

Little Miss Muffet was eating what?

So you would like to know just what Little Miss Muffet was eating when that spider happened along. To produce curds and whey, begin by setting raw (not pasteurized) goat or cow milk on the kitchen counter for a few days until it separates like this:

Whey…t a minute

I am nearing 40 and can already feel arthritis stiffening my hands with slight pain. The arthritis is really quite tolerable now, but I am SO young. My hair is still mostly not grey.
