Homemade recipe for spraying for mites.
Comments (6)I spray my tropicals with the spray(neem oil, dish soap, pro-t-k solution) once a month. I place a big table vinyl cover sheet in the centre of my sunroom, take one plant at a time and spray them top/under by placing the plant on the plastic sheet. Lot of spray falls on the sheet. I group as many plants that fit on sheet and turn on the ceiling fan to dry out. What ever mess with spray that would be on the vynyl table cloth only. Once the spray dries out, I move the plants to their location and make sure the rest of the spray dries out on table cloth and then move it to garage for storage. This is working very good for me without mess on my floors and furniture around during winter. For some plants I move them to shower to wash them fully and then spray them with solution....See MoreHomemade Baked Beans recipe, please.
Comments (25)These have different spices than many baked bean recipes but we really like this recipe. My cousin worked with our grandmother to measure out the ingredients for our family cookbook and I have left the story that's included in there with the recipe. --------- In her early teens, my grandmother was being courted by a handsome boy who lived on his familyÂs farm. Once his parents had determined that the young couple "was serious", his mother began teaching Nana to prepare their favorite family recipes. But alas, soon my grandfather came along and her beau was out of the picture but not his motherÂs recipe for these sweet and spicy brown beans, which have always been known in our family as: FARM BOY BEANS 1 pound dried great northern or navy beans 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 cup molasses 1/4 cup finely chopped celery leaves 1 onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 1 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/8 tsp. ground allspice 1 bay leaf, crushed (center spine removed) 1/2 pound ham or salt pork or 7 strips bacon Wash and sort beans. Place beans and 3 cups of water in large bean pot. In bowl, mix all remaining ingredients except meat. Pour over beans in pot; stir well. Refrigerate 48 hours. Stir and add meat before cooking. Bake covered in 300 degree over for 6 hours. Uncover; add 1/2 cup hot water if needed. Bake one hour longer. Note: This was her original recipe but I have modified the cooking technique a bit: Soak the beans overnight, then change the water and parcook them by cooking over medium heat for 45 minutes. Then drain them, saving the cooking water. Mix as directed with other ingredients but substitute 1 1/2 cups of the bean cooking water for the 3 cups of water. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 - 36 hours, then add meat and reduce cooking time to 3 hours. Uncover and bake another hour or until done. Add extra water if needed....See Morehomemade granola with chick peas
Comments (1)Your crunchy, toasty beans sound great! I'm not sure I'd want them for breakfast, though. I'm not big on granola--too sweet for me. I'd just do the oats and seeds, with maybe an apple or currants, and yoghurt. I don't eat a lot of cereal, but I've been known just to scrounge in the panty with a handful of this and a pinch of that and call it muesli. :) Back some time ago I was at a storytelling thing under some trees, and Wavy Gravy was telling about how granola was popularized. They realized they had to feed the kids at Woodstock and made up a bunch of granola and passed it out in Dixie cups...and the kids really liked it, and brought the concept back to their homes. :)...See MoreHow About Sharing Your Favorite Cooking/Baking Hints?
Comments (64)Thank you for that tip to use an instant read thermometer for baking. That never occurred to me. I mean, duh! Question for the experienced bakers - do you think a pecan pie would be the same temp as pumpkin pie? I stopped making pecan pie at Thanksgiving because for some reason it just never seems to set anymore. No idea why. I used to make it every year, used same recipe every year, and then one year it was liquidy in the middle. The next times I would cook it longer and longer but it would never set. I'm thinking maybe I'd try again this year and use my instant read thermometer....See More- 5 years ago
