I just remembered something - I have lived in my house for 24 years now.  The house is over 100 years old...probably 130  - it has a cistern in it.  It gathered water - We have never used it, but it is an amazing feature and charm to the house.  I am definitely going to rethink the water barrel at the cabin site.

Hmmm, a water tank - maybe a future project - Sounds like a wonderful plan.  I'll talk with my husband and see what he thinks.  As a matter of fact, I do know what you are talking about - read about them - they have a spicket on the bottom of the barrel...  Huh!  That's why I love this forum - Great ideas.

My step daughter lives outside of LA in Altadena, near Pasadena.  We have gone to the Rose Bowl Parade a few times already.  It's spectacular.  I am a princess, too, but I guess even princess's can live in ice caves LOL!  Anyways, guys, please call me Ellie. 

Have a great day!

Lunch Recipes / Mushroom Soup with a blend to it
« on: March 31, 2014, 01:56:36 PM »
Hi guys,

Made the following blended soup this weekend.  Ingredients:

Amount of each to taste:
Scallions
Celery
Garlic Gloves (I put in 2)
Home made chicken stock
Place in a spice bag:  1/2 cinnamon stock and 1 star anise - let it cook in pot for about 10 minutes then remove).... these two spices give it a nice warm flavor/feel.
Red hot pepper flakes
At the end of cooking cycle, add:
Kale
Mushrooms (used baby bella)
Continue to Cook down probably another 15 minutes.

Let sit to cool down somewhat and then blend it down

I micro waived some for lunch today and added about two tablespoons of feta cheese

It was really a nice treat

okay, PALM --- where in this beautiful world do you live.  We have about 30+ acres in the driftless area in sw Wisconsin.  We build a primitive cabin - no running water - no ceptic and no electricity.  Have a generator which gives us electricity and have a compost toilett we just installed last year and haul in water.  There is a Class A trout stream and finally this year we are going to concentrate on catching a few.    I live in se wisc.  We have a mature woodland area at the cabin site - gorgeous!  there are other trees, white and yellow birch.  Morel mushrooms grow on our land, which we are so happy about.  Mostly we hunt white tail and turkey.  The fall/winter are fun times when hunting.  Spring and summer we work hard and maintain the place.

Yum, the stir fry looked extremely delish!  We have a Trader Joe's but too far for me to travel.  Also have a Whole Foods, and, again, too far from home.  Thanks for the picture!

How will I know what logs to use for which mushrooms?  I loved Gladstar - she is adorable.  I'll check out Susan Weed.  I have always been interested in herbs - have many books, but this is taking it a step farther than our universe.  Awesome.

Umpa, where do you buy the plus - I guess I can go on the interest and search, but do you have a particular place where you purchase?

Thank you Umpa for the link - I checked out how to make Fire Cider - what a wonderful remedy.  Have you ever made this?  I also love her link to making mushrooms.  Do you have the logs in your back yard to put in the spore plugs?

Hi Stephanie - too bad about the 6 inches of show - that's ridiculous!  hoping the warm weather comes soon.  Yes, I love the one minute muffin - I tried making a mini loaf in order to get a more rectangular slice - I cut them down and toast them.  Yummy!

huh!  mushrooms?  how does that work UMPA!  are they really really skinny small and then you eat them in the smaller stage?  How do you get started?  I know I can check the internet, but how do you do it.  Sounds wonderful.  I love your contribution of micro greens.  I can't wait to get started.
