Littlesister – I’m sorry to hear your neighbor is feeling so badly despite his throat cancer treatment. My late Father had throat cancer but, fortunately, his was diagnosed at an early stage.
Mama cando – Very sad to hear about Miss Zephyr. I hope that Miss Chloe will be able to adapt to her absence or that perhaps, in time, you might be able to get another kitty to keep her company.
Prepperfan305 – You’e not alone! I’m also interested in having a retractable clothes drying rack indoors. In fact, I’m hoping to eventually get one of those “SheilaMaid Airer” racks that lower down from the ceiling and raise back up out of the way using a cord and cleat system. From what I’ve read, that sort of drying rack was popular in Great Britain back in the Victorian era. I saw a similar model on the old BBC television series “Wartime Kitchen and Garden” and have wanted one ever since 🙂
OldMtWoman – That same thing happens to me a lot. Sometimes if I know I’m going to type a long post, I type it in a Microsoft Word document first, then cut and paste it into the Forum’s posting “box” so I can be sure it won’t get accidentally deleted before I can hit the Submit button.
Yesterday, I went ahead and ordered the dehydrating/baking multi-level rack for my Sun Oven. Today, I’ve been enjoying watching the preview videos offered free online this week by Jill Winger of “The Prairie Homestead” as a way to introduce folks to her new Heritage Cooking and Kitchen Skills course. I particularly enjoyed her videos on making: sourdough starter (her method seems simpler than others I’ve heard of), a nice flaky buttery pie crust, homemade burger buns, and lacto-fermented sauerkraut.
