Especially proud that a city slicker found the site!!! haven't looked at it, I guess if I sent it to my sister it would make her hurke like a kitten.... don't forget you are probably related to him, Lee > I don't know if you talker will work on the web page Matthew sent but, if > not let me know.

Oh my dear, you are so far behind. The banjo part is the only real thing, (besides the grin) The stills now are high tech and the old corn cop no longer exists. Now that they have "juiced" up the corn, the cob burns much easier and no longer adequate for smoking.

Before we bought this house we were quasi checking out neighborhoods in our chosen area. Fayetteville is a group of housing developments hooked together by a couple of main roads. We're driving down a street behind the kids' school when we see a side street we've never been down. We went down it. There at the bottom of a hill was a group of trailer houses. I swear to G*d there were blood hounds on the porch, cars up on blocks, trash in the yards, the works. Rob was hastily turning around when this guy with a long beard, jeans, suspenders and a ripped up t-shirt comes out complete with a double barrel shot gun. We didn't bother to see if there were any trailers for sale or rent. Sorry if it scared you, could have some of my relatives. >> sitting on the front porch drinking out of a corn jug marked xxx with >> corn cob pipe hanging out of my mouth [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > and a ripped up t-shirt comes out complete with a double barrel shot gun. > We didn't bother to see if there were any trailers for sale or rent.

Remember the way the houses smelled in the winter? Kind of a combination of smoke and bacon? From the woodstoves. Friends of my mom had a big iron kettle out back where they cooked apple butter in the fall. We always got a couple of quart jars of that to take home when we visited.

Come to think of it someone else mentioned plum butter in another thread a while back- are we talking jam here or what? Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs No, it isn't jelly or jam. It is apples cooked down to practically nothing with spices and such. It spreads like butter but is apples. I googled just S*G's and most recipes called for cooking in "A crock Pot" I know I just felt my Granny turn over in her grave. When I find my recipe can post it if you want. The crock pot idea sounds different but not for me.

Come to think of it someone else > mentioned plum butter in another thread a while back- are we talking > jam here or what? Nope. We're talking concentrated essense of applesauce, basically. Or plums. (Might have been me that mentioned plum butter, because I make some every year from the plums that fall from our generous plum tree.) What you do is quarter apples, cook them on low with a little water in the crockpot until they are very soft. Then you squish them through a strainer into a bowl, leaving the skins and seeds behind and producing a smooth applesauce. (I use the conical "hat" type strainer with the wooden cylindrical squisher. Wish I knew what that was called.) Now you put that back into the (wiped out) crockpot, put it on low, add a little cinnamon and nutmeg and cook for about three days, stirring 2-3 times a day until the magic happens and it "butters up". Which means it turns into this lovely, slightly shiny, thick, intensely flavored apple butter. Works with any fruit...take the pits out of the stone fruits first, though. Mmmmm....off to put plum butter on my pancakes... Deborah Slave to the Gang of Eight ok here is what I do, quarter the apples, remove seeds and the stem, leave on the skin. rinse them to make sure they are damp. put into a deep iron skillet on low and cook until when you stir they are mush, then add spices, cook for the same amount of time it took them to be mush they will turn into butter, Lee > > What on Earth is apple butter?

You make apple sauce, put in some spices and then slow cook it until it turns into apple butter. Why they call it apple butter is beyond me. I never heard of plum butter before. I don't make it, but I will eat it. Bud pears also makes an excellent butter. >>> *large amounts of drool gush from the side of the hoomins mouth as the >>> cats [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Bud you cook the fruit to a smooth buttery consistency and then in the case of apple add cinnamon sugar and a bit of nutmeg in some recipes. in the case of jelly its just the juice that is thickened, and in the case of jam its the juice with a bit of the fruit added back, the butter items contain everything you started with but its cooked smooth, Lee On Mar 5, 10:16 pm, "Stormmee" <rgr...@consolidated.net> wrote: > *large amounts of drool gush from the side of the hoomins mouth as the cats > watch in amazement!!!* I love apple butter, What on Earth is apple butter?

Pam S. who loves Washington State, just hate StarChucks, CharBucks, or whatever else we're calling it this time. Stuff tastes nasty to me. Yeah but you need the apples fresh not after they have laid around for six months. > LOL...homemade applesauce is really easy to make at home too. > Washington State is famous for our Apples. [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >>> >>> Jo > Yeah but you need the apples fresh not after they have laid around for six > months. So true. My grandfather managed an apple orchard in West Virginia. Best apples on earth. You can make pretty decent apple butter by slow cooking it in the oven. But still nothing like as good as what we had when I was a kid. I still make a great apple pie, and often make my own apple sauce. But I miss real apple cider. California insists it be pasteurized now. Not that there was anyplace left I could find really good fresh cider anyway. Jo Well, my Granny said if you didn't cook apple butter outside you had to have a copper bottom pan, Burns to easy to suit me so I use a big old honker of an iron pot. Wrist is bad sometimes and I need two men and six boy scouts to lift it on the stove. We can still get good cider here and I can drink a gallon of it by myself. Of course then the new book title comes in handy. 2 Miles to the outhouse by Will Shee Make It! >> Yeah but you need the apples fresh not after they have laid around for >> six [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Jo I couldn't figure for the life of me who BENNY was.

Mandy (daughter) had/has these incredible blue eyes. When she was a baby people used to look at her, look at me, and ask her where she got those blue eyes. Then they would get personal. I got tired of it and told people that she got them from her father and had to give them back to him next week. What an amazing improvement. They backed off gave me a funny look and left. No more crowding, no more personal questions, and nor more pawing at her like she was on the block. People take incredible liberties with small children and pregnant women. I got to the place where I'd tell strangers that my tummy was mine and I didn't share with strangers. Pam S. >> We both have nice nails as a rule. People say "are those yours?"

I also remember feeling like I was just abiological hatching device and my *only* purpose, indeed *only* ability, skilll & chracter I had was that I could bake a baby. The hospital didn't treat me much different either. It was when a person smacked the prawn I was about to eat out of my hand and said "you can't eat that, you're pregnant" that I realised just how archaic society's attitudes still are to pregnant women.

Back in 1967, some 41 years ago, when I was expecting my first daughter (I have 2) I'd gained about 50 lbs and when my water broke, whoah. I called my Dr in Denver, and since the whole city was watching some program, and he asked if I was having contractions, I said no, so he told me to go to the hospital after the program was over, which I did, I was in labor for 15 hours and finally had to have a C-Section. To the Guys here, you'll appreciate what your women go thru in childbirth if you've ever had a 'charleyhorse' That what contractions feel like. Only they come every coupla minutes apart lasting for a minute or 2 and YOU men would NOT be able to stand the pain. I'm not kidding here. On my second C-Section, the damn Dr didn't let me get fully numb before he started cutting me open, and I kept telling the bastard, "I'm NOT numb yet..STOP"!!! He just said 'knock her out"...grrrrrr Now my gorls are age 41 and she has 2 teenage daughter and my youngest will be 36 next month and is expecting her sixth child. She's gonna get her tubes tied after this one. It's gonna be a boy. I've got almost 8 Grandkids, and never get to see them because my oldest daughter lives in Michigan and the one with almost 6 kids lives near Denver. I got to see her first one, now age 17 get born. HUG Granny Kyla > "Yowie" >>> "Granby" [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Geez, why can't you eat prawns if you're pregnant? Salmonella or something. Like you arent' suppose dto eat soft cheese or salami or a whole bunch of other stuff. I loved what my doctor said though "if you can keep it down, eat it". LOL. I couldn't stand the smell of anything fried, of coffee or alchohol, and lots of other things. One of the few things i Could eat with abandon was cheese and salami. But mostly I just craved green vegetables. I ate lots of salads, and lost 20kg when i was pregnant. (Of course, I found it all plus some more afterwards). > To the Guys here, you'll appreciate what your women go thru in > childbirth if you've ever had a 'charleyhorse' That what > contractions feel like. What is a 'charleyhorse'? Some strange slang term you Merkins use :-) > Only they come every coupla minutes apart > lasting for a minute or 2 and YOU men would NOT be able to stand the > pain. I'm not kidding here. Hah! I coudln't stand the pain either. I wussed out at 4cm dilation and begged (BEGGED!) for the epidural. It was such a relief I actually kissed the aneathitist (the guy who did it) - who looked approximately 70. > On my second C-Section, the damn Dr didn't let me get fully numb > before he started cutting me open, and I kept telling the bastard, > "I'm NOT numb yet..STOP"!!! He just said 'knock her out"...grrrrrr *charming*. The worst thing about the birth (besides the pain) was how I was treated like a bit of meat that didn't matter - I swear that even Joel got treated more like a human being than I did. I am *still* angry about it 4 years later. Yowie >> Geez, why can't you eat prawns if you're pregnant? > Salmonella or something. Like you arent' suppose dto eat soft cheese or > salami or a whole bunch of other stuff. I can understand worrying about soft cheese getting salmonella, but salami? Doesn't that stuff have so much preservative that no bacteria could possibly live in it?? > > To the Guys here, you'll appreciate what your women go thru in > > childbirth if you've ever had a 'charleyhorse' That what > > contractions feel like. > What is a 'charleyhorse'? Some strange slang term you Merkins use :-) It's a leg cramp. Ever wake up in the middle of the night feeling like your calf or thigh is turning inside-out, or like someone's got it in a vise and is squeezing tighter and tighter? I had something similar to that in my upper back a few months ago. It just kind of spasmed, and then was tenuous for hours and hours. I had to be so careful how I moved, or it would go into spasm again. Only reason I didn't go to the ER was that it wasn't a constant pain, it would only flare up if I moved a certain way. Toward the end of the day, it stopped happening and was finally able to relax. >> On my second C-Section, the damn Dr didn't let me get fully numb >> before he started cutting me open, and I kept telling the bastard, >> "I'm NOT numb yet..STOP"!!!

We were in a restaurant in Texas with my best friend Susie, her three kids and Mandy. The three of us had these old women going nuts as we talked as though we were both cheating with Rob on his wife. And that all four of those blonde children were his and his wife's and that we wanted her to take care of them next time. As they left their table, one of them stopped by ours and told us that Satan was having his way with us and that we should be ashamed of putting those poor innocent babies through all that. Susie and I were hussies who were no better than we should be and so on and so forth. Somehow Susie an I kept a straight face as Rob asked her to go out on a date with him. We are not nice people.

Pam, people who put their noses in other peoples business deserve what they get. Most fun I ever had was when my son and I were on a bike ride and we stopped to eat. Some women came in that acted like the Bike was the worst thing ever. I kept Mike from telling them off and, when we got up to leave, I got my folding white can cane out of my purse, and flipped it open. We walked to the Bike and I got on in front. I started it and he reached over my hands and we left the parking lot. As soon as we were out of sight, we exchanged places!!!! Bet those old bitties are still talking to themselves.

Joel & I usually try to oblige :-) Yowie sort of like when TV and OEJ were kittens, vet sent us to the store to get meat only baby food, now DH nor I have ever had children and neither of us have ever had to feed a baby so we are in that isle looking at the ingredients...

Somehow Susie an I kept a straight face as Rob asked > her to go out on a date with him. We are not nice people. Reminds me of this story (dunno how true it is): A man had three dogs and was buying a large bag of Meaty Bites at Big W and standing in line at the check out. The woman behind him asked if he had a dog. On impulse, he told her that no, he was starting The Meaty Bites Diet again, although he probably shouldn't because he'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that he'd lost 20 kilos before he woke up in the intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of his orifices and IVs in both arms. He told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Meaty Bites and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete, so he was going to try it again. I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with his story, particularly a guy who was behind her. Horrified, she asked if he'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because he had been poisoned. He told her no - it was because he'd been sitting in the street licking his balls and a car hit him. I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door. Stupid woman .... Why else would anyone buy dog food? for the same reason the last time we were in Sam's club shopping for groceries, a woman comes up to us and looks in our cart and says "oh I was going to try that wine, is it any good?" DH says with a straight face... "NO, its nasty, that's why there are only four bottles in our cart",... she said oh and walked away, Lee > >> this is yet another reason that I chose to not have children... my sick > >> sense of personal space would have been like: [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > > Stupid woman ....
