    Just for fun and possibly to inspire someone... My frugal week in pictures: To begin my story I have to admit to something not very frugal. I took my daughter, along with a friend whose mom paid for her ticket, to the Taylor Swift concert this weekend at Heinz Field for my daughter's 10th...

    Looking for some ideas on how to use up some extra heavy cream I have. Thanks!:tay:
  3. Homesteading and gardening
    The first killing frost of the Fall season hit last night. Now the deep freeze begins and lasts until about 15 of April. My area will not be completely free of Frost until the end of May. The only produce left in the garden is two large Brussels sprout plants and some leeks. All the green...
  4. Question and Answer
    a tomato cream sauce (it is for Chicken Tikka Masala). I am really just not a fan of the price and fat content of heavy cream LOL. Plus, I don't think I would ever end up using a whole pint before it would go bad. I've though about just using plain milk, sour cream, plain yogurt, or cream...

    What would you do with a carton of heavy cream that needed to be used? I would hate for it to go to waste....:)
  6. Baking Breads
    I tried a bread machine once and made 3 loaves of bread. All 3 were very heavy and thick. I haven't tried one since. Is this the norm for bread machine bread or was it just a fluke?
  7. Question and Answer
    I was given 12 quarts of heavy cream. Can I use it to make ice cream? All of my recipes so far say to use light cream/ half & half/ or regualr milk. Laurie in Bradenton
  8. Question and Answer
    I'll do my best to explain this, I have some shirts, that just feel Heavy. It is like all the soap or something didn't get rinsed out. I would like to do something to *freshen* them up. I'll admit, they are older, at least one is is almost 10 years old! It is still in fantastic shape, and I...
  9. Christmas
    ok so i've got family/friends who live overseas. i can't use US postage to get stuff there as they're non-military. SO, I'd like some ideas for a family (mom, dad & 2yo baby), that I can ship in packages smaller than 4lbs. (anything over 4lbs and I have to pay almost triple the price.) What...

    Here is the sweater I cast on Friday night (9/12). It's Emerald from Knitty.com. I've got the lower body up to where you join the sleeves done, one sleeve done, and the second sleeve cast on. It's a very quick knit because it's chunky yarn on big needles. I'm using an inexpensive (but pretty)...

    I'm not sure if anyone knows this or not but a really really good product to clean your hands AND your big messes with is Barbasol Shave Cream! This is especially good on your hands when they are covered with Tree Sap from cutting down Christmas trees! I learned this from an old neighbor of mine...
  12. Baking Breads
    I made my first batch of home made bread using my kitchen aid mixer. I used their recipe for quick bread. My only complaint is that the bread is very dense and heavy. Any suggestions? I'm also not sure their method of letting it rise turned out well. They had you let the dough rest for 20...

    My mom isn't doing well. Her kidneys are not working well, and my sister had to go in and fuss at them to get them to give her oxygen so she won't get pneumonia, because she's not moving. She's on heavy duty pain meds, and is very groggy. She's sort of out of it. My sister said when she got...

    I just can't afford it. It will take me months to pay them the $115 I owe them. I guess I'll be "t.v.-less" since we have no reception at all here without cable or satellite. Plus, my other antenna that was on my house that I was growing a vine up to hide it...FELL DOWN! Well, really just...
  16. Kitchen Basics
    Hi all! I have a carton of heavy whipping cream that will expire tomorrow. It says not to freeze it. Does anyone know of a way to save it? It doesn't necessarily *have* to be used for whipping later on, .....I could just use it in baking or something. I don't want to just throw it out!!!

    (~) Isn't your bag heavy enough? One day, a teacher had each one of his students bring a clear plastic Bag and a sack of potatoes. For every person they refused to forgive in their life experience, they were told to choose a potato, write on it the names and date, and put it in the plastic...

    I use powdered milk for many things. - I dilute 2% milk with 1/2 powdered milk and at long as it is cold, the kids drink it without even knowing the difference. - I use powdered milk to do all my baking if it requires milk - much cheaper. - Dh uses powdered milk in his tea - When making bread...

    I posted this elsewhere but I wanted to share it here also and have you share some thoughts about it. It is a heavy post though so just wanted to warn you. I was finishing painting in the m/bedroom this morning and listening to a video on Benjamin Franklin and his discovery of the...
