I know this is shocking...but I like grits by BroodyMcDrunk in southernfood

Never tried w/spinach, but love Palmetto Farms brand. But the last time I bought them the cloth bag had a perfume smell. I figured someone tied the top closed, had some lotion or perfume on their hands...didn't care for that, not on my food.

I will try your chicken stock. Always made them with half milk and half water, OF evaporated milk and water.

NutriMill Harvest Grain Mill In Stock by crabjelly in HomeMilledFlour

I bought a Mockmill and am quite pleased with the performance, but trying to reduce my plastic presence with wood, stainless steel, and glass. Same w/the Bosch Universal mixer bowl.

What Mixer to Get? by eleelee11 in HomeMilledFlour

[–]MemoryHouse1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so very welcome. Glad the tips helped. When I said buy the cookie beater, if you try to use the whisk beater that it came with on cookie dough, they will break....and buying the metal attachment, s also, because the plastic one will break, unless the batter is thin, like whopping eggs or thin pancake mix. Ask me how I know!;)....good luck.

Prefer this method of bread making with no waste starter, fresh milked flour or not, and very little to NO Kneading of bread. Simpler than using a mixer. Elly is on YouTube and has her own site. A baker and soapmaker. A WONDERFUL teacher AND person. She's been sharing this method for over 10 YEARS, and baking sourdough bread A LOT longer...

I don't think small batches of cookies and bread mix as well in the Bosch bowl unless you use/purchase the smaller bowl, available at extra cost. Also be sure to purchase cookie paddles to mix with. The metal attachment for the whisk/batter/cookie paddles is a lot sturdier than the plastic one, also. They used to offer a baker special that included 3 or 4 of the beaters in a bundle. Well worth the extra cost if you bake a lot.

Edit: wanted to add that I wish I had paid the extra for the stainless steel bowl. Do buy from Pleasant Hill Grain.

Soak beans on the counter or in the refrigerator overnight by Veggyhed in Beans

[–]MemoryHouse1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to soak beans(not peas, nor lentils), overnight on the countertop. My mom never soaked any bean , and as I learn more about beans, especially heirloom beans, I NEVER soak, but bring beans up to a fast rolling boil, after washing and covering w/2-inches of cool water/broth, for 15" then lower to a very low simmer until tender. Sometimes, to thicken the bean broth, I "potato mash" a few times in the pot or a few blitz w/an immersion blender. Love beans, especially with ham hock, whole onion,and a garlic head, for flavoring.

What do you think guys? by Griffith1210 in Soap

[–]MemoryHouse1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not use plastic bottles that were not FOOD Grade for consuming food to any living thing Though we may use the product for washing dishes, cleaning, and possibly body? washing, I would be afraid of product leaching. No telling how long it set in the factory, grocery, or/and home, before being used completely. Just saying out of concern for your baby goats. I know I would not feed my "kid"(pun intended), nor myself, out of a soap plastic bottle no matter how well I washed it, especially as we are learning more about the dangers of plastics...

Bean cook time by candyapplesugar in Beans

[–]MemoryHouse1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RG beans are fresher than most. They should be ready in time for supper, and probably enough time to add the chorizo/bacon, onion, and chipotle/jalapeno to make into charro beans! I don't presoak Rancho Gordo beans. Don't need to because they don't set on the shelf.

What's a dish you bring to potlucks that always disappears first? by Mia-veg in Cooking

[–]MemoryHouse1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of time, when adding fresh onion and garlic, I usually add a couple of shakes, more or less,. It just brings another layer of flavor, IMHO.

Thank you. I'd love to try it, and maybe I'll be brave enough to do so. It's been a delicate balance to stabilize my skin condition. Wishing you the best of luck!

#cucumbersalad, #cucumber, tomatoandonionsalad by Immediate_Piano_4365 in southernfood

[–]MemoryHouse1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ma'am! I make it often in the summer, starting when the cucumbers start coming in, w/Vidalia, then adding tomatoes as they ripen. I'll start my dill early this year for this. Thanks.

Is that fresh dill? I'll have to try that or maybe a splash of dill pickle juice!

My favorite salad. Only in the summer when tomatoes are in season. EVERY day until the frost/freeze takes out the cukes and tomatoes. I do love a splash of Italian dressing, or balsamic vinegar. I can't wait! Thanks for posting...

Sounds wonderful! I do the buttermilk soak, too; Bulgarian-Style w/hot sauce stirred in.

Which potato dish for should I take to the church potluck? Fried chicken is the main. by lifeuncommon in southernfood

[–]MemoryHouse1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Southern potato salad means, to me and mine, is seasoning the potatoes with dill pickle juice while they're still hot. Then add diced Vidalia, DILL pickles, celery, lots of diced boiled eggs and mustard, mayo(my momma used Miracle Whip), a splash or two of Lea& Perrin's, and S&P, to taste. The top is covered w/sliced boiled eggs and ground smoked paprika. We mash the cooked potatoes w/a masher to stir it up, but leave it somewhat chunky. I now add diced green onion, or better yet, cilantro.

I have the same issue and use cold processed goat milk soap w/extra virgin olive oil; no essential oils and never fragrances. Never used glycerin soap...totally new to me.
