I can many many jars a year! :O). I make sauerkraut and just love it. I have a recipe for making it in the jar super easy if you would like it. I got some Kefir Water Grains back months ago that stuff is super yummy, great fermented addition to your nutrition. <br /><br />I don't have that pattern sorry.<br /><br />I think you could so wear short shorts. I like them myself. I am ermmm older than you and not as tall, but I buy 34" inseam jeans. Most of my 5'6" height is my legs LOL.

By the time I got to where I was going it totally melted and conformed itself into the shape of the book poking thru the middle. Totally trashed. Never put a CM in the car unless it is perfectly flat in the trunk or something.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-54941019601215461412012-07-13T06:11:16.026-07:002012-07-13T06:11:16.026-07:00Medicinal Manuka honey (I know it is from NZ here ...Medicinal Manuka honey (I know it is from NZ here but is it all over?) is very expensive but is fantastic.

I read the tip re: storing the rice in the freezer for a week to kill of eggs. I think I'll try that. Let me know if you have any tips.<br /><br />Re: the camel knees, I'm actually the idiot that came up with that one! LOL! I can be so cynical. I appreciate your candidness (smile). I think it was the style I picked which was not good (too much gathers and fullness). I'll give shorts another shot--definitely a different style. I love your strong convictions about capris. I have friends who feel the same and despise the sight of a man in capris! Capris' on men are actually BIG in some European countries!

I have very sensitive skin and have had some extreme reactions due to cetyl alcohol! A friend recommended SBC Propolis gel. It works like a miracle on spots or red irritated skin. I think it's the same principle as you manuka wash.<br />Destroying a cutting board is very upsetting. They are such useful tools and pricy to replace too.<br />I've never tried home pickling. It sounds intriguing. Maybe you can do a pickling post one day if you have the time.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-44875102196242055532012-07-12T23:03:57.944-07:002012-07-12T23:03:57.944-07:00I have that same book and I use it a lot.

They don't bother me - I just rinse the rice and carry on cooking it, but I know they freak out some people. <br /><br />Camel knees - what idiot made up that expression? Your knees just look like normal knees. There is no reason you shouldn't wear shorts. I will admit to saying this from a position of hating capri pants with a passion you wouldn't believe. Either wear trousers (pants) or shorts - don't wear something that is a pretender to both, and a friend of neither.ReadyThreadSewhttp://readythreadsew.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
