Tallow to soap 💙

When does one turn down the opportunity to visit family in another country? It happens when you’re in a same sex marriage and your social media does not support the current regime. Staying home is far safer than taking a chance and ending up barred or jailed.

Green onion powder and pink lemonade lemons. As the world crumbles the garden is my refuge.

Dems need to be prepared to challenge every candidate at the polls.

I love Romanesco 💙 Beautiful!!!

You have been mindful to share what is happening with fire victims - thank you. Now can we please get an update on the EOs that will effect our state? Since you returned from Washington you’ve focused on fire and went silent on everything else. How will you support CA?

I experimented with this method a few seasons ago. It was ok for lettuce and bush beans but everything else failed to thrive - and the plastic issue was an ongoing discussion. I’m going to try it this year with landscaping flowers for transplant.

Genius

What does one do when every level of Maslow’s Hierarchy is under attack? Our country is not ok.

You are greatly missed Katie. The next generation of law makers needs to understand the power of the whiteboard. Teach them well 💙

Politics is like nonconsensual roller coaster ride. No amount of screaming or hand raising frees you from an impending crash.

People who think Social Security is safe should take note.

Trump will be standing alone. The Oligarchs will always bet on the horse with the better track record.

It took Hitler only 53 days. We will be unrecognizable by Easter.

Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.

Costco provides employees a living wage. This summer they also will be serving Coke products in food courts. We need to request for non Coca Cola options immediately.

MAGA has played the long game and brainwashed many in our nation. Please remember to mention the Fairness Doctrine when you’re exposing wrongdoing. Media absolutely needs to be held accountable - all information, not just the right - should be presented to the people.

As food sits rotting in the fields, am I the only one panic gardening?

I have a love/hate relationship with the news. I’m compelled to listen but don’t believe what I’m hearing.

Savoy straight from the garden and onto a plate♥️ Haluški for dinner.

I’m definitely going to be purchasing. They seem like a great way to chill at home.

Check out the Cottage Food Laws for your state. It might be worthwhile to see how much you’d need to sell to recoup what it’d cost to get one. It could end up paying for itself.

They definitely can be but they have a few sizes so price varies. Definitely helps step up your preservation game if you like the idea of having freeze dried veggies on hand for cooking. My favorites are taffy, Bit O’Honey, and Tajin Chamoy Skittles.

And to the folks who insist on driving to Otay, taking selfies, and posting TikToks of the fire… this isn’t Disneyland!!! Folks preparing to evacuate don’t need you creating traffic and loitering around their homes.

We are unwilling participants of a regime who are keeping the masses misinformed to grow power. Your account suspension reeks of fascism. One of the reasons why I’m exiting from the platform.

Freeze drying definitely changes the game. While we love candy you must try fruit! Mangoes and apples are also amazing. Highly recommend getting a machine for use on the homestead.

Feed prices are why we went for the whole steer. We’re expecting it to almost double.

I’m thinking of trying the Nesco to give myself a backup. I have a Foodsaver but it’s finicky when I’m sealing things with a lot of moisture. I’m in CA and our whole steer was $4800. Comparing quarter prices we’re a little more expensive.

It’s frightening how many haven’t realized what’s unfolding before our very eyes. It took Hitler 53 days. Clavell crafted a tale where it took only 25 minutes.
