Comments (8)Is this the one you mean? Had never heard of it before and don't recall it ever being discussed here before. I couldn't find much about it online - not even any reviews - but aside from the high price when compared to the Victorio and similar higher quality models it looks ok to me. Reminds me of the old original Squeezo models some still use. Aside from the price, the advantages I'd find with the Victorio models is a bigger hopper and readily available replacement parts and accessories (other screens primarily). I wasn't able to find info on the gasketing system this one uses and that could be crucial. Not only for preventing messy leaks but replacing as that is the first thing to go on all the models. This one also appears to have a very short waste exhaust which might cause bowl placement or organization issues but you can always find away around that. No doubt the stainless steel - one place says stainless but another says cast iron epoxy coated - is better than plastic but many of the ones with some plastic parts have been working for decades too - including mine. :) JMO Dave...See Moregrandma's mae's country naturals dog food
Comments (9)This is from the dog food project website and says that meal is not lesser quality meat: Contrary to what many people believe, meat sources in "meal" form (as long as they are from a specified type of animal, such as chicken meal, lamb meal, salmon meal etc.) are not inferior to whole, fresh meats. Meals consist of meat and skin, with or without the bones, but exclusive of feathers/hair, heads, feet, horns, entrails etc. and have the proper calcium/phosphorus ratio required for a balanced diet. They have had most of the moisture removed, but meats in their original, "wet" form still contain up to 75% water. Once the food reaches its final moisture content of about 9-12%, the meat will have shrunk to sometimes as little as 1/4 of the original amount, while the already dehydrated meal form remains the same and you get more concentrated protein per pound of finished product. This means that in the worst case you are left with only 4 ounces of actual meat content per pound of fresh meat included in a dry kibble, many of which contain less than one pound of meat per 2-3 pounds of grain to begin with. Preferably a food contains quality meat meal as well as some fresh meat....See MoreHiding the country of origin
Comments (3)they are not required to list where the food is made if it contains more than one ingredient. most likely, at least one of the ingredients is from china. I find it annoying also. -rj...See MoreRaw Foods/Whole Foods Kitchen? How did you plan around these needs?
Comments (6)This is my 3rd attempt at sauerkraut. First time was too scary, and I abandoned it. Second time around, I was more adventurous, and scraped the "spooge" off the edges and then tasted the 'kraut. It was SOUR, since I'd let it ferment for a long time (6 weeks or so), but good. Other people's sauerkraut tasted bland in comparison. I'm going to check this new batch at 5 days, and keep checking it every little bit after that til I find "just right". I know it takes me a while to get used to new favors, so hopefully the more you drink your lemonade, sample the cheese, etc., the more you'll like it. Have you tried store bought Kombucha? I'd love to get that kind of flavor and fizziness in our home brew. That's great you have space for a back pantry kitchen, Building for the CATS. I think this is an ideal setup, really. AK Tillery's kitchen comes to mind. Our pantry is only about 4x4ish, and has no room for a back counter. I'm thankful for what it holds, but its use is somewhat limited. The Amish around here often have a second kitchen in the basement. This is their canning area, and is nice for when they host large groups for church and fellowship. One friend used her second kitchen for juicing as part of Gerson therapy for her husband's Lyme disease (He's doing GREAT!) She was really thankful that all that prep and cleanup could happen separate from her everyday kitchen. Your rolling carts and extended counter sound super helpful, loonlakelaborcamp. I hear you on nowhere to clamp things down, we had issues with that in our old house when we'd go to use the squeezo or the apple peeler. I love the idea of the canning jars at the backsplash. I think Mamagoose has this too, right? I have my spices under my cooktop, which is pretty handy too. I just need to break down and order storage tins to contain them more neatly. It's a mess under there right now. I don't think I mind the "working kitchen look" so much as I mind A.The lack of counter space. B.When there is clutter on the counters, the kids don't clean up as well (and neither does mom, frankly ; )) It's like the stuff all blends together, and it gets more full and disorganized by the minute, like Scoby's left too long in their dark swampy tea. : )...See Moreksrogers
