HomeMaking Beyond Maintenance: Homemade Soap and Moisturizing Cream
http://homemakingbeyondmaintenance.blogspot.com/2011/01/homemade-soap-and-moisturizing-cream_29.html
January 29, 2011. Homemade Soap and Moisturizing Cream. I made bar soap today. I'd rendered suet before and froze it. I've not done it for a long while, so I re-skimmed all my soap books to refresh my memory. I've not bought soap, since we like my homemade soap, having made and used it for over twenty years now. Heat these till solids are not quite melted. It takes some time to cool down, and will continue melting while sitting. I have been making soap for years - now two decades! Makes 5 pound batches&#...

HomeMaking Beyond Maintenance: Cultured Cranberry Relish and Veggie Dippers
http://homemakingbeyondmaintenance.blogspot.com/2012/11/cranberry-relish-and-veggie-dippers.html
November 30, 2012. Cultured Cranberry Relish and Veggie Dippers. Fermenting veggies for serving with a dip, and cranberry relish - for Thanksgiving Day. I posted earlier about wanting to ferment my typical raw cranberry relish I make for Thanksgiving. And I said I wanted to ferment the veggies for a platter with a dip. I put off fermenting them cuz I was afraid of them getting too fermented. Like would the veggies be soggy limp? So I fermented them for about 24hours. They were a hit! Cuz I'm pretty sure ...

HomeMaking Beyond Maintenance: 2013
http://homemakingbeyondmaintenance.blogspot.com/2014/01/2013.html
January 6, 2014. Photo of our back deck by visiting Zsuzsanna Luciano. Garden produce ferments - sauerkraut, dilly beans, zucchini relish, and kimchi. I got an electric smoker in November, so going to smoke a lot of sardines too. We're loving the smoker. My reasoning, finally, for getting the smoker, is all the grass-fed beef we have in the freezer - 1/2 a cow! Unless slow cooked in the oven, and the ground beef is out of this world! Thanksgiving smoked Turkey - everyone's preferred meat! Photo of our su...

I wrote Hearth and Home in 1995. In the home school arena there was a gal who had a national newsletter, mailing out monthly to subscribers. She asked me to do some articles.

She knew my starting out with articles would start the process, having various chapter topics begun, for a book. The Back of the Book tho new ISBN# and printer. Pies and Sweet somethings.

http://www.kareyswan.com/2013/01/true-to-you-our-music.html
True To You - Our Music. Monte's and My Music Album. We recorded two albums years ago! About 20 years ago? Monte wrote the music. Our friend Jerry Nelson wrote the piano arrangements for the 1st album and we recorded it at his studio. This album has most of the songs from that album and some from our second album. All in one place! Our children help sing on some of the songs. I still tear up hearing our now 24 year old Dawson singing "Daddy What is Her Name" when 4 years old! Buy Secret of Singing Springs.

Monte joined in the process when we were dating. Monte almost 40 years ago waxing an egg for resisting the dye - batik style egg designing. This picture is...

It should just be a nice sitting area, but this time of year it functions as a greenhouse with lots of garden seedlings getting an early start. Planting shelf with heat coils and grow lights. Outside this window expanse is an outside greenhou...
