Every so often, new information has come out about safety in preserving foods. My old Farm Journal Freezing & Canning Cookbook, which I relied on for years, had information that was no longer current or correct. I have gone through and checked my favorite recipes against the newest standards to ensure my family's health & safety. The apple butter I'm cooking right now will keep my granddaughter happy until next apple harvest, and the vetted recipe will keep her healthy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028244722808240851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265772262233409826.post-1302113484595397112023-08-29T09:56:45.614-07:002023-08-29T09:56:45.614-07:00This is a wonderful article, Given so much info in...This is a wonderful article, Given so much info in it, This is a wonderful article, Given so much info in it,samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375360102034146278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265772262233409826.post-63514140187368917442023-08-01T17:24:35.631-07:002023-08-01T17:24:35.631-07:00I do!

So if your animals get free-range time or supplemental things like mealworms, the nutrition will look a bit different. There are just too many variables in free-range animals to get a standard measure.Proverbs Thirty One Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061731679235511146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265772262233409826.post-24285429446529262632023-06-22T06:41:47.430-07:002023-06-22T06:41:47.430-07:00so I just read this and it is fascinating. the on...so I just read this and it is fascinating. the one thing that I wonder about is your data for chicken eggs... so is the data on your table comparing factory raised chicken eggs with your quail and duck eggs, or is it comparing backyard raised chicken eggs with the quali and duck eggs?Rebecca Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812557326323763740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265772262233409826.post-39096847324490885372023-05-22T10:56:23.231-07:002023-05-22T10:56:23.231-07:00Esteri, dosing depends on many factors, including ...Esteri, dosing depends on many factors, including what benefits you hope to achieve. I give dosing info in my book The Ultimate Dandelion Medicine Book. If you just want general health benefits, one or two glasses of dandelion flower tea a day should do the trick. (For tea, just fill a tea ball with the flowers and you'll have the correct dose. For smoothies, aim for about the same number of flowers.) As for freezing them, you may have difficulty separating the flower heads from each other. In the future, you can avoid this problem by placing the flowers in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and then placing the sheet in the freezer. Once the flowers are hard, remove them from the tray and place them in a freezer safe container. This way, the flower heads won't clump and freeze together. However, you can salvage your flowers by banging the frozen bag of them on a countertop to break off chunks.Proverbs Thirty One Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061731679235511146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265772262233409826.post-49858169888710563492023-05-18T11:36:33.531-07:002023-05-18T11:36:33.531-07:00I have just picked a one pound bag of flowers and ...I have just picked a one pound bag of flowers and put the directly in the freezer without washing or blanching. Will this preserve the nutrients so I can just take a portion a day to add to a smoothie? What would you say would be a good portion size (by grams or by flower heads) to aim for daily to get enough therapuetic/nutrional benefit. I can't seem to find anything on daily dosing for flowers as I can with leaves or roots.

I could not disagree with you on the s...Greetings!<br /><br />I could not disagree with you on the subject of children and chores more. That a child is capable of doing something doesn't make it age appropriate nor the child's responsibility. Teaching children skills and making them do regular chores is not the same thing. Although we should teach our children skills we should not burden them with regular chores. Play is the work of childhood<br /><br />I have examined the research. There is not any study to the effect that chores really help kids [not even the Harvard Study, which I have examined]. In fact, the only study I found that came close to testing this idea was a 2003 study by the University of Amsterdam. In this study, researchers found,“A direct (negative) path was found between the number of chores assigned and school success (GPA)” … that negative correlation was likely because “too many chores and responsibilities interfere with schoolwork.” Again, there is no evidence that doing chores contribute to a child’s success. The Minnesota research was not peer-reviewed and thus unreliable.<br /><br />Kids should NOT be made to do chores. The housework is NOT the child's responsibility. The parents are the carers and providers. The children are NOT the help. Kids should PLAY not WORK. Schoolwork including home school academic work is plenty enough. Chores are not difficult to learn anyone can in MINUTES. It's not the child's role to contribute to the family. As for self-confidence, deep relationship, pride, etc. can be gained via many other ways. These include play, art, sports, family time, etc.<br /><br />Absolutely EVERYTHING can and is taught without chores thus making them redundant. The only reason any parent would insist on making kids do chores is so the parents have less work which is a bad reason and amounts to taking advantage of kids. By chores, I mean tasks such as doing the laundry, mopping / sweeping floors, washing the family dishes, loading / unloading dishwashers, cleaning toilets / bathrooms, etc. obviously a parent can teach a child how to do anything WITHOUT making it the child's job / responsibility.<br /><br />I am thankful that my parents did not require regular chores from my sister and me growing up in the 1980s. I am grateful we had true parents who respected our childhood. And I NEVER had problems with performing any chore. Both my sister, me and EVERYONE I grew up with are living proof that regular chores for kids are worthless... well maybe just take a load off lazy parents. Do you know how long it took me to learn for example laundry? 10 minutes! I had the cleanest room at Seminary or everyone said so. So the nonsense doesn't stick with me.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Themistoklis J. Papaioannou<br /><br />PS: Even the phrase "we are not raising children, we are raising adults" is wrong. No, you are raising CHILDREN who will GROW INTO adults. RESPECT CHILDHOOD.Th.
