• Enduring risks to survive viral times

  
  3000 NewsWire — Authority: 126
  NewsWire Editorial By Ron Seybold   We’ve been wrestling with risk at my house this month. The flu made its debut just as November started, and so a period of recovery and a return to health commenced, too. We’re not flu shot people, Abby and I, so we weather the risk of letting a virus have its way with our ...

• Thanksgiving: Desserts.

  
  Poor Richard's Almanac — Authority: 428
  Silence Dogood here, continuing a week of Thanksgiving-themed recipes here at Poor Richard’s Almanac. One thing it’s easy to be thankful for is a delicious homemade dessert. But if you’re not a pumpkin pie fan, or you just want to provide an extra dessert or two, you may be stuck trying to think of something ...

• Thanksgiving, PA Dutch style: Dried corn.

  
  Poor Richard's Almanac — Authority: 428
  Silence Dogood here. As a native Tennessean, I had never heard of dried corn when our friend Ben and I first came to scenic Pennsylvania. Now, obviously, I’d seen ears of dried field corn, and many a kernel of dried popcorn. But around here, when you talk about dried corn, that’s not what you mean. For the ...

  MysticWicks Online Pagan Community and Spiritual Sanctuary — Authority: 166
  I saw this concept on the travel channel and was amazed! Has anyone here heard about earth ship biotecture? It looks really cool, but Im not sure if it will catch on. http://www.earthship.net/

• Thanksgiving: Green beans.

  
  Poor Richard's Almanac — Authority: 428
  Silence Dogood here. Green beans are a traditional Thanksgiving side dish—like turkey, pumpkins, corn, and potatoes, a native New World crop and therefore appropriate to the day. (I’ll be talking about another regional Thanksgiving tradition, dried corn, tomorrow, and tackling the whole sweet potato issue on ...

• Menu Plan Monday: Thanksgiving Week

  
  Arabian Knits — Authority: 422
  Thanksgiving week is upon us, which means that there is a lot of bustle and cooking and cleaning going on here. Meals this week will be either quick to make or cooked in the crock pot and will be short on leftovers, so as not to have too much extra in the refrigerator for Thursday. Most of the recipes are or will ...

  Peppylady Almost Prefect World — Authority: 120
  This weekend I have been sort of fighting down in the dumps. Friday my friend Quenelle and I went over to the Spokane area. Well after we visit my friend Finny and her hubby we went thrift store shopping. The Valley Village I have to say I wasn’t all that impressed. I have to say a local thrift store is better ...

• Unseasonably Warm

  
  Howling Hill — Authority: 104
  It’s been so beautifully warm here in Central New Hampshire for the last week or so. There was one morning with rain but it cleared out so Sun could shine and warm us mere humans up. Honestly, I could stand this weather till spring. Wolf went up to Gitch’s Funny Farm yesterday to assist in the culling of ...

• Thanksgiving: Cranberry sauce and beyond.

  
  Poor Richard's Almanac — Authority: 428
  Silence Dogood here, kicking off a week of Thanksgiving recipes with that classic, cranberry sauce. Our friend Ben and I grew up in households where our mamas lovingly made cranberry sauce for every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their recipes were pretty similar—fresh cranberries, oranges, cinnamon sticks, and cloves, ...

• Kuri Squash

  
  nefaeria — Authority: 122
  Kuri squash really is a blessing to homesteaders: it is versatile in the ways in which you can prepare it to eat, it is relatively easy to grow {even in smaller gardens}, and it stores quite well. It is an heirloom winter squash from Japan and can be grown probably in any temperate climate. Just like pretty ...

• Carpe diem

  
  thirtyfivebyninety — Authority: 100
  Seizing the day or rather opportunity is a vital part of homesteading be it urban or rural. Not so much having the skill which enables you to take advantage of whatever opps comes your way, but rather having a means to acquire the knowledge along with the desire a.k.a elbow grease. Could I make vinegar before ...

• Natural Fall Crafts

  
  Lehman's Country Life — Authority: 123
  From gourds and straw bales to pumpkins and corn shocks, its wonderful to use decorations that can be eaten or tossed in the compost pile rather than the trash can at the end of the season.

• Nature’s Flu Fighters

  
  Lehman's Country Life — Authority: 123
  With characteristic can-do spirit, an old-fashioned farmgirl will likely face the flu with homemade chicken soup, hot tea and plenty of rest. Shell try fresh air. She may even improvise her own neti pot using a repurposed dish-soap bottle -- anything to avoid a trip to the doctor and the requisite dose of prescription ...

• The Joy of Composting Toilets

  
  Lehman's Country Life — Authority: 123
  We walked into the bathroom, with two sinks and a small shower and a teal-colored door in the back. Melody worked up a bit of theatrics for us: “And this,” she said as she opened the door, revealing a teal staircase with teal walls leading up to a bench with a toilet lid on it, “is the throne.”
