The Damsel lives with her Knight in Shining Armor in a village by the mountains. She has seven sprogs, two of whom are married. She has two grandsprogs and she’s pretty darn happy about it.
Left in the nest: a college girl, a passel of teenagers, and a ten year old. The college girl keeps sticking a foot out of the nest, but the Damsel has so far managed to pull her back.
A good hunk of her old-schooling came from her mom and grandmother. The Damsel loves antiques, old-fashioned stuff, and little old ladies. She hopes you’ll fall in love like she did.
The Damsel keeps a diary-type journal at http://elle-cosette.livejournal.com. See ya over there!

so, are we gonna some awesome canning posts this summer too? oh I hope so! my orchard up to the challenge!
Love this idea! I have a few of my own I could share. . .
The Damsel would LOVE to have any ideas you could share!
An idea: How to save eggs for those of us that have chickens. Last year I stirred them together and froze the mixture in ice trays. I’m still using them (2.5 of my cubes/egg). You can also separate and put with salt/sugar. etc. I’ve never done it with isinglass (sp?)
This is off topic, but… I’d love to know where you got your watchband and a watch that fits it. I have a similar silver and turquoise band and can’t find a replacement watch to fit the band.
I appreciate your freezing tips. Any ideas on storing garden potatoes without a root cellar?
I love that watch! But it’s just a bit of nothing, picked up at Target. I’m looking for a new band for it myself as one of the links is semi-broken. So you could try looking at Target. It was not much money. As for the potatoes, the only thing you can really do is keep them cold and dark…above freezing, but the colder the better. If you grew them yourself, you can leave them in the ground until you need them, until the ground starts to freeze (which doesn’t happen for quite a while in a lot of areas).
