Halle C ….whoa…that is great that you learned how to process a deer! That’s meat from scratch even if you didn’t hunt it!!! I’m impressed.
CoffeeLady….don’t disappear. I started this challenge knowing I can’t keep up with ALL scratch meals, even tho I do most things. Just pop in when you’ve got something..and join a few of us “auditing” this from the back of the class! 😉 Besides…your dh in hospital IS a huge deal and that’s exactly when we take short-cuts. Even when they taste bad cuz we’re not used to nasty convenience foods. It’s a healthy sign when junk food tastes bad and makes us sick! Hope your dh is doing better!
James Mitchner…interesting approach for a cook book.
Muffy…I vaguely remember doing Moz cheese with a friend over 6 yrs ago. I’ve done a cream herbed goat cheese…easy. Precipitate with …uh, vinegar? I’ve forgotten. I have the recipes tho. Yogurt was easy. Try again when you’re up to it! Better weather is heading your way…we were dazzling bright sunshine today.
Today my “from scratch” is…..stretching it a bit. But since I’m “auditing this class”… 🙂 My friend [same one who made Moz cheese with me] makes body products and finally found a recipe for my very problematic hair. I could not believe this stuff for my hair!!! So she sent me a huge quantity that was a flopped batch that didn’t emulsify right. [terms correct, I think] All I have to do is shake really well before using each time. Can do! Well, I’m running out and somewhere in the depths of our basement chaos, I THOT I still had more. Tonite I finally remembered to dig around. Pulled some things together that had been scattered to dry…they were now dry and I got them back in box/put away. But the shampoo wasn’t there…. however I DID find it! I have plenty left. Whew, I can’t even buy that anywhere. 🙂 Been meaning to search for it for the past two weeks! One more thing crossed off list. Two if I count getting that mess back into the box and put up. A struggle to get simple things done. Hmph!
Oh…I did make “apple crisp type” oatmeal this morning. Raisins, apple pieces from a limp apple needing to be used, walnuts, bit of molasses, bit of cinnamon, blip of vanilla. Regular oats of course. Then I remember we’re out of milk. But it was fine without.
