I've been learning to process my own home grown chicken and have been doing very well, if people will forgive my shameless back patting. The soup I made from it was divine, with a depth of flavor I've never had. When it chills, it has so much collagen that it gels, even! Then I made fried chicken next, using boneless white meat chicken that had ( Read more... )

Am I going to need to replace the fruit when I serve the drink ( Read more... )

any suggestions for Reno? I'll be there in July for a conference; thought I'd research ahead of time...

I've been making my own yogurt lately, and really love it.  However, the last batch I made was with packaged yogurt starter, and I had some trouble.  Specificially, at the bottom of each yogurt cup (my yogurt maker makes 5 little pots of yogurt) there was a layer of grainy grossness that looked to me like undissolved starter.  This did not happen ( Read more... )
