Re: I brown mine in a cast iron skillet, then in the crock round crock pot I first place several pieces of apple on the bottom. Then a layer of sauerkraut sprinkled with a few caraway seeds. Lay chops over top, and layer again to stack the sauerkraut and chops. I cook this on the low...

Re: This may make an interesting ongoing thread. Where members post what they have found as off brands that are nearly the same as the name brand.

Re: This is more of a view of the table setting of a "Tea" But when I was a little child this was what I first experienced Tea with, as we sit on the concrete sidewalk.

Re: I live in Appalachia so I hear things that stop me in my tracks until I realize what it is that has been said. I was once riding on my motorcycle and stopped to ask for some directions. The farmers daughter was another part of the reason. Lovely girl. But after I asked how far it...

Re: I grew up around women who had studied "Home Economics" (anyone remember that) I was also taught much of what I know by them. I first became an efficient cook and learned to do so much with so little I thought I could do anything with practically nothing at all. LOL Then later I was...

Re: It's probably germane to my geographic area. As I learned the word in this use, "to cup" it means to develop a manner of roasting and brewing a consistent flavor of coffee. Much like creating a recipe that will proof the same for everyone when they try it the first time. In my years...

Re: Bread Coffee Fruit Meat Veggies And I don't know how long I could get by on just those alone. :glare:

Re: The Wok is a thought. I cook with one at home when I want Asian food. And the solar ovens I've read about. I've seen those that fold flat even and can be set up in a few seconds to cook with. What would really be trick is to devise one to use a wok with. Thus eliminating the need...

Re: Late entry here, but I've roasted and cupped my own coffee. SweetMarias used to be in Columbus, Ohio on High Street and I purchased from them. Then I brew my own beers & wines and make my own vinegar. Today I tend to have a dozen or more coffee's I've bought from various grocery store...

Re: I have to agree with the OP, prefab much of what you take with you. Depending on the kind of camping you'll be doing. If you set up camp in a camp ground with a view and there is a lake for fishing & boating with trails for hiking and bicycling, then you may not want to spend all your...

Re: Well, lets see if I get my Breakfast Casserole linked in correctly this time. :ohmy: Amish Breakfast Casserole Recipe - Allrecipes.com When I serve this to friends or family, it takes them far less time to eat it than it takes me to make it.

Re: I have something I make called a Breakfast Casserole that is a hit with everyone who tries it. My surplus time isn't always predictable so I can make this ahead for a Sunday Breakfast or cut it up and put it in plastic zip locks for later use. Here is a basic recipe I started with. You...

Re: Not long ago our local Public Library held a "Tea". It was the first I had ever attended. I had noticed these little places called "Tea Rooms" over the years but never saw much traffic around them. The women who put it on were instructors at a local community college and knew the lore...

Re: My photos are backed up on a jump drive several miles away from where I'm sitting. I don't have them on a site to link them to presently to conserve disk space. Today I may be able to pick up my drive and see if I can get them uploaded here. Thanks for the warm welcome and best wishes...

Re: A few hours above where I live is a huge Amish area and there is a supplier who has more parts for more meat grinders than I have ever seen. Lehmans.com This outfit will ship world wide too. When I was there they had a room full of kero lamp chimneys of every imaginable size. It was...
