ssgardengirl said… - Thank you for the welcome. You have a wonderful blog, and I admire (and envy) your lifestyle. I passed a link to your blog on to my mom, and she's enjoying your recipes and the creative, resourceful ideas you chronicle. Although not off the grid, she and her husband live a very self-sufficient lifestyle in a rural community of like-minded folks. What they don't grow themselves they obtain from local organic farmers. I love visiting them, and fantasize a similar lifestyle for myself!

Happy Gardening ~

Beva said… - Oh.. thanks! I actually have not had time to look... too busy watering.. still!!!! Where is all the rain the yapped about? Gosh, it is dry!
Oh, Bud's... that's right... so next time you go in, and if you see a heavy set girl with dark hair named Paula... freak her out and tell her that "Mama Bear sends her love"! That is her nick name for me- Mama Bear... and I call her "Princess"! We had a blast working together. She is a real character! But, the girl has a heart the size of Texas!
I will look up the recipe... again, thanks!!!

- Hi,
I just checked your page to see if you may have posted a recipe for that yummy sounding rhubarb chutney... and discovered you live in Dexter! A dear friend of mine lives there!
She is a former employee and we have remained close friends when she moved to Dexter 6-7 years ago. She works at the Shop n Save in the deli... she is the one with "attitude"!! :) She is a real character! Her brother and sister in law live on Little Indian, and they have a lavender plantation started. They are also working on a retail store for the products (in case you are interested).
:)

- Oh, you are living my fantasy life on your farm. Years ago when I was in my 60's I tried to get a sustainable community going as I was single and needed others to do this with. All talk but no follow-through. Enjoying my gardens now and involvement with Tilth farmers in the area.
Yoghurt - I make mine in a Euro Cuisine electric yoghurt maker which you may not want to do so any way you can provide 95 degrees for 8 hours should work - I don't have enough experience to advise you on this. Heat 1 quart raw milk to 110 degrees in a double boilerRemove 2 tbsps of the warm milk and add 1 tbsp (commercial with live culture or from previous batch) Stir well and pour into a quart-sized wide-mouth mason jar. Add a further 2 tbsp plus 2 tsp yoghurt to the jar and stir well. Cover tightly and place in warm 95 degree place. You could make more than 1 quart if you work out the logistics! Maxine
