Comments (33)Here ya go Florey! It was on page 4 I believe. While I'm at it I'll post my vegetarian recipe for chili. It's easily made with meat by starting with browning ground meat or other meat then going from there with this recipe. Saute about 3 cups each of onion, celery and peppers of your choice and two Tablespoons or more of garlic[ I use about 3 or 4 for this amount, smiles]. When these are sauteed a bit, add two cups of carrots and 2 large cans of small diced tomatoes [with their juice]. I don't like to use crushed or sauce in my chili. I think it overwhelms the veggies. A bay leaf and couple tablespoons each of cumin, chili powder, and salt. Add water or veggie stock, if needed, to bring level up to slightly above veggies. As hard veggies begin to soften, add 2 cups each of eggplant[cubed], zucchini and/or yellow squash. Cook another ten minutes and add 2 cups each mushrooms, canned or frozen corn and canned or frozen green beans. Taste now for salt and seasonings and adjust. Next add as many beans as you like. I use the liquid in the beans too. At least 1 lrg can of dark and 1 lrg can of light kidney beans. Also, black beans and cannellini beans are good. Pintos are great too, naturally. As soon as beans are heated through the chili is done. Taste once more for seasoning. Like all chili this is best if made the day before. Does great frozen. I usually make about 3 gallons of this at a time and freeze in 4 or 5 containers....See Morefood mill or food strainer?
Comments (33)That deal you missed isn't a very good one anyway.. It looks like a very old version of a Victorio food strainer and they were very messy, and leaked out the shaft. The latest version is from Villaware and has a wrap around plastic shield to keep spatter down to a minimum. Also, the berry screen, as an option will get all the seeds out of raspberries and so you have a perfect seedless jam. I use it for my tomatoes and the skins and seeds pass out the end, which, on the newer Villaware, is another 4 inches of clear plastic cone to push out the waste even further from the metal conical strainers. The Villaware also has a rubber seal on the cranking shaft that stops any leakage from flowing out where the handle is attached. Cutting big tomatoes in halves and smaller ones are left whole. I can 'crank out' a bushel in less than 10 minutes. Very little effort compared to a Foley and works great even for small bits like for salsa, and even pumpkin. I sold my old Victorio for $5.00 a few years ago, but still have a similar Back To Basics model, that has the older wing nut screen design of the Victorio., but that shaft still leaks when I do watery stuff like tomatoes and even raspberries....See MoreFurious about bunny with no food or water
Comments (24)You keep mentioning the cold weather and several people has stated that its a non-issue. 10 degrees is not a problem for a bunny... it may be hard to believe but if a bun has proper shelter and is dry, bunnies do just fine in the freezing cold. THey have a thick fur coat and a circulation system that is meant for cold weather. Just last week, when it was 10 below zero, I saw a wild bunny hopping around my front yard, looking pleased as punch because he found the veggie scraps that I had put out for the birds. The number one complaint about the lack food and water is valid, the number two complaint about cold weather is a non-issue. When we mix a valid complaint with an uninformed complaint, it tends to trivialize the entire complaint....See MoreEthics vs aesthetics
Comments (46)I agree that the red roof is very wrong with those panels. My roof is a faux wood look but I plan to change it to a black or dark grey before I did solar. I so want to wait until the pretty solar comes down in price but I have been waiting for that for over ten years when we first inquired about solar. At that time we were told our roof was not a good fit due to angle to the sun, available attachment area and pitch. Now with a south face addition roof and improved technology it can be done at a cost benefit to us. I think that one issue is that by design my house's roof line is meant to be seen. The gables are an architectural feature rather than just protection. This is why regular panels seem wrong aesthetically to me. But the tile technology at this time is not a budget friendly option... I proposely have a smaller house too gscience...See MoreAlisande
