In a little over a year, my fiance & I are going to be moving into our campervan & living on the road. To prepare for this, I'm trying to find ways to live comfortably without having access to refrigeration. I'm toying with the idea of getting a pressure canner & canning our own food (so I can...

Billions of people smoke cigarettes, & not all of them get health issues because of it. Others are prone or have weak immune systems & get deathly ill. I'd rather not risk my health for a difference of $2, & I wouldn't recommend anyone else do either.

Mostly adults (not having kids), but I'm a child at heart so I'd probably use kid ideas for myself :D That potato idea is amazing, I'm going to have to do it

That sounds AMAZING!

Tonight's going to be a salad. Of course, it's going to be an epic salad, with lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, avocado, celery, green onion, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, pineapple, mandarin oranges, & probably chicken strips. I basically just throw everything sitting around the kitchen...

I've been reading (well, listening to - I like audiobooks) My Lobotomy by Howard Dully I haven't decided if I'm going to finish it yet, so far it's pretty annoying (all it is is him going on about how his childhood wasn't fair & how his step brother never got in trouble & had all these awesome...

I'm planning on roasting up a turkey next Sunday, & I usually make the same stuffing (bread, thyme, oregano, sage, enough butter to make it stick together) I'd like to try something different though. I've tried cornbread stuffing in the past & thought it was too sweet to go well with the other...

It's true, but it seems like 90% of Pinterest is fashion/famous people/funny pictures I was browsing the food category only, & a good portion of it was weight loss or miscatagorized. I was there half an hour & only found 3 things that interested me, which isn't a good ratio I'd love to find...

Alright, I've got pie crust in the fridge right now :D I'm going to make mini pies (apple, blueberry, & one strawberry to use up the remaining strawberries in the fridge) :D This is my first time making pie crust though, & I'm nervous.

I actually wasn't that thrilled with Pinterest. I've been avoiding going there until now because I thought I'd be all "OMG must browse FOREVER" I'm quite surprised.

Because it's so late at night, I'll just list what I'm baking tomorrow :D Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars Granola Bars & if I find a good deal on apples at the store, Mini Apple Pies

You can, if you don't mind eating plastic & trans fats :P

I visited Pinterest for the first time today, & after about half an hour I decided I don't need to waste any more time there :P I did find 2 really cute ideas though - the first was mini apple pies that are made in muffin tins, & the second was a piece of baguette about 3" long, the insides...

I used to be able to buy pizza flavoured potato chips. I think it was tomato powder, oregano, & maybe a bit of basil

I've thought about it, but I really hate crossing the border :P We'll probably just end up heading out to BC for the winter. I hear they're pretty mild in Vancouver

The van has a second battery that other things run off of (it's already got a microwave, although I'm not sure I want to keep it) That's a really good idea about the hospitals! I've been going through a list I found of automotive propane stations that I found online & logging them into Streets...

I've done some work with acrylics (not much, I had to do a painting for a story I illustrate) I've also done a bit with watercolour - I use it as a background & ink over top of it

Today's a weird day - I have Jamaican goat curry cooking in the crockpot, but that's for tomorrow night's dinner. Tonight? No clue. Fend for yourself night (leftover pizza probably XD)

Yes I did - thank you! I work with pencil crayons & I love bright colours as well :)

I don't have any flat surfaces in my freezer, & I only have 2 baking sheets (which are usually serving rotational duty when I'm making cookies). Otherwise I'd just freeze them like that I find the ice cube trays are more convenient & compact

With whipped cream & angel food cake :D I also like making strawberry cheesecake muffins - I make regular strawberry muffins, fill the muffin tins 1/2 full, put a small cube of cream cheese in each one, then top with the remaining batter

I let them thaw because I'm not sure how to adjust the time or the temp *laughs* I imagine an extra 5 minutes would be enough at the same temp, but it might vary depending on the recipe they thaw fast though, half an hour at room temperature is usually more than enough

*laughs* Oh I am (& have!) I've already added 3 new ideas to the list :)

Tonight's just a laid back night. Bacon, Tomato, Lettuce, & Avocado sandwiches on English Muffins. Fruit for dessert. Maybe some crackers with cambert if we're munchy later :) I pulled a tendon in my foot about 3 weeks ago, & it's still healing, so I'm trying to stay off it as much as...

I love the idea of freezing cookie dough & having fresh cookies on hand whenever I want (also, I have a habit of eating Way. Too. Many. cookies if I make more than a dozen at a time) So I line ice cube trays with plastic wrap & put about a teaspoonful of cookie dough into each spot. When...
