• Does anyone else have personal experience with a stainless dehydrator? Here's the link to a site search for "Sausage Maker". I know the name can be a big put off. To the best of my knowledge, it's the only stainless steel dehydrator intended for hom…

• Queenfluff—I did some research this weekend and found that your bf is apparently correct. From what I can tell online, the significant differences are wattage and construction material. Excalibur 5 tray, 400 watts. Sausage Maker 5 tray, 800 watts. T…

• Bananna, I was surprised to find the stainless model as well. For more liquid recipes it too suggests a teflex sheet, but I figure I will use parchment paper, no matter which kind I get. The link you posted shows the same model that’s on every other…

• Shgadwa, here’s a recent thread that offers a number of suggestions: http://www.goneraw.com/forums/7/topics/6632 I personally use a deodorant salt stick. It’s about $8 a stick here in Georgia, and my first stick has lasted more than a year.

• We discussed this topic a few weeks ago. Here’s the thread: http://www.goneraw.com/forums/5/topics/6347 Kandace, Ray, do we have enough interest for a T-shirt? I would certainly wear one with pride.

• z?n, what was the original topic? Oh yeah, tahini. I guess I’m adding to the mix as well, but here goes again. Hope ya’ll don’t mind. Thanks Winona. I’ll check the Farmer’s Market out. Seems like I went to a Farmer’s Market in Atlanta about 20 years…

• Heyenglish, I haven’t explored WF yet, but plan to come up soon, probably this Saturday. I visited the WF in Baton Rouge with my cousin a couple of weeks ago. Wow!!! LaGrange has NOTHING to compare. It’s about a 75 minute drive from here, so I plan …

• Heyenglish, do I recall that you are in Georgia? If so what part? I’m in West Central, about 60 miles southwest of Atlanta.

  in Raw Moms Comment by emtpdmom
• Bitt, I’d be interested in the same topic. I’m not sure I would contribute much, but as a public educator, mother and grandmother, I am always interested in the thoughts of others regarding public education. I’ll watch for your new thread.

• Hi again. Beany. I haven’t used my stove in 8 months and really need the counter space. My apartment manager would have a cow if I took the eyes out. Instead I flipped the breaker to off. This way there’s no chance of accidentally turning an eye on …

• Beany, you’re a delightful treasure trove of information. I also had no idea there were seeds specifically for indoor growing. Just shows we’re never too old to learn.

• Carolg, you make atleast the fourth boomer to chime in on this thread. Welcome. I don’t think the specific model is so important if you’re main interest is not sealing bags. Just be sure there is a “port” for connecting the tube that attaches to the…

• Beany and Waterbaby, what do you think about using unbleached paper towels like they have at Whole Foods. OR I was just thinking, I used to put a few grains of rice in the salt shaker to keep the salt from getting damp. Would this same idea work in …

• Beany—the book is by “The Gardners and Farmers of Terre Vivante.” It’s an Amazon Shorts, 24 pages long, with several recipes. They have a print version for about $16.00. From comments in the reviews it’s obvious that the print version has a lot more…

• Waterbaby and Beany—WOW!!! Preserving without canning. I just HAD to research that one, and what do you know . . . found it on Amazon.com as a download for 49 cents. You two are such treasures of information. I always enjoy reading your posts.

• Beany—you’re absolutely right. Everything and everyone does age, EXCEPT us baby boomers. We just keep getting better. I’m not sure of the “life expectancy” of a glass canning jar. Grandmother died in 1979, and I know some of her jars are still being…

• Lyndalou, when I was using the bags an occasional bag would fail to vacuum. Usually that meant I did not have the open end of the bag situated in the exact right spot to vacuum (not far enough in the machine). I don’t ever recall food puncturing a b…

• Beany, I think you’re the first to figure out the significance of my name. My oldest is a police officer and youngest an EMT. It’s just a small way to show how very proud of them I am. Just for the record, this 60ish one resides about half way betwe…

• Thank you, Zoe and Morning_Theft, for your encouraging words. I haven’t really noticed any combinations that seem to create problems, and I really don’t want this to become too regimented. If something seems to not settle well, I’ll check and see if…

  in Combining foods: Yay or Nay? Comment by emtpdmom
• Evergreen, thanks for the web link. I will be rethinking a lot of my eating habits. My favorite smoothie combines bananas, strawberries, spinach, nuts and sprouts. According to the charts on trustedhands.com most of this is bad combining. Sigh . . .

• I use the jars for all my dry ingredients, and to store leftovers. I haven’t had a problem with hatchings. Since I am a family of one (two if you count my puppy) I try to buy what I can use in two weeks or so. But I have kept grains, nuts, seeds, dr…
