Yay! The Damsel is guest posting today at the super fun blog Or So She Says. It’s from Ye Grande Historical Archives of the Old School–all about bakin’ bacon.

Margot, I noticed your post on the peppermint oil and I have peppermint growing in my back planter box like a weed…inherited it when we moved into this house. SOOO, I'm finding recipes to use it in so I feel good about keeping it. That being said, what do you do with the peppermint in the oil? do you just use what you need from that jar, or do you strain it and put it in another container until you're ready to use it? Please help!!! Here's the link to your post over there: http://www.oneshetwoshe.com/2009/06/homemade-pepp…

Thanks!

  Lisa…so far, I have just used the oil from the jar and haven't bothered trying to use the peppermint itself. It gets sort of icky in there, and I have SO MUCH PEPPERMINT that I'm not trying that hard to conserve it. Is that what you mean?

Welcome to Old School!

The Damsel in Dis Dress is your teacher for today. Her qualifications are that she is "old." Old School is where you get to learn about some old skills and other thingies that Grandma used to know like the back of her age-spotted hand.
Why would you want to learn old stuff? Two reasons. 1. Last time the Damsel checked, the economy was still tanking. Some things you'll learn in Old School will help save money. 2. Other things will help you be more self-reliant. You'll learn how to do things that Grandma used to do all the time, but people have forgotten. But why, Damsel? Why? Because the day may come that we'll need those skills, and it's part of being prepared. Plus, the Damsel thinks it's nice to keep those skills from being lost.
