    planning a homestead, suggestions?

    Emphasize native plants and trees ... veg, fruit, nuts ... less problems all the way around. Maybe check with the local agricultural extension agent at the nearest university.

    I am so old

    I remember selling things door to door as a kid. Lots of stuff ... and constantly. Seeds, Greeting Cards, Grit Newspaper, Michigan Out of Doors Magazine. Also my own collection (at about the age of 7) of household stuff I'd come up with ... pens, hangers, boxes of Tid-Bits, Fizzy Pops, and...

    Regular European TV broadcast available online??

    Thanks GF and trussell for the suggestions! Looks like that firefox add-on has a reputation for system issues. And the version of that add-on I'd need is the pay-for one ... I'll keep it in mind but I think I'm going to avoid that one for now. GF ... I started chewing through the links you...

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Testicles? ... wasn't that a character from Greek Mythology? ... friend of Heracles and Achilles?

    Check my plan for a non-alcoholic sparkling cider

    As long as you adequately pasteurize you should not have immediate problems with spoilage. Should still observe appropriate sanitation though. If your cider is a bit insipid, you may need to add some acid to taste... citric acid, malic ... lemon juice etc. Non alcoholic products like soda...

    Voodoo Doughnut Lemon Chiffon Cruller Ale

    If Tim Hortons served beer ... that would be it. ... and perfect with the voodoo-ale lemon chiffon cruller doughnut.

    dme for yeast?

    Ale yeast? Sucrose? Off flavor due to using sucrose in wine? Never heard of such a thing. Curious. Did you mean to post this on one of the brewing forums? (ah ... yer in the wine forum right now) You might have your concepts a bit twisted around? ... I'm wondering if you are talking about...

    Regular European TV broadcast available online??

    I am trying to find any free, streaming feed of “regular” European (in particular German or Italian) television stations. That is, non-English language content ... and in the language of the country of origin. Not content generated originally for a website, but instead the regular...

    silicone one way stoppers????

    Yep. Good point. But they're *not* using the lesser ones most of us see at the Vinting/Brewing supply. The commercial brand on barrels, typically Echo or Boswell or Alasco, are made to a higher specification. The better made ones generally will most often have to be ordered online (one can...

    Feedback on Beer and Cheese Menu

    Not sure about your IPA and blue cheese, I don't think the IPA is strong enough to stand up to a blue cheese - an extremely strong flavor. My first choice would absolutely be Sprecher Black Bavarian which is a Kulmbacher style Black Lager ... very heavy and smokey. Otherwise I'd go with a...

    silicone one way stoppers????

    As far as the closure/stopper ... depends on how long term. Typical silicone is *not* a good choice for long term. Too permeable. A Gum Rubber stopper (not neoprene) would be a better choice. (aka Gum Rubber, Natural Rubber, India Rubber) There are also the single use polyethylene caps. I'd...

    Looking for advice on how to handle a 'code monkey' situation

    Ask the city who the contractor is that they use for fixing sidewalks that are their responsibility. That contractor may be willing to do the work and at a better price. $70 or $80 per slab might not be too unusual. You can likely go before a magistrate and get more time to complete the work...

    Just discovered my cider has 0.1% potassium sorbate...

    The point is to retard the yeast with pot sorbate *before* introducing additional sugars. That would be, add ... wait ... then add sugars. Using a product with pot sorbate and sugar all-in-one won't likely "neuter" the existing yeast currently in your cider sufficiently to keep them from...

    Turkey Leftovers....

    A few ideas... Make it like a pasty. The items could even be kept separate (next to one another) in the filling so as you eat through the pasty you taste each item separately. The green beans could be made with the mushroom soup and onions to be similar to a "green bean casserole" as...

    I am so old

    If you can't stop it from playing, you could try to cancel it out with another obsessive song, for instance "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da". If really bad, you could invoke the nuclear option: the Meow Mix jingle. (Hint: the first word is "Meow" ... I will not speak the rest. Er, ok, all the words are...

    Worst Movies?

    Do bad movies we like qualify? I was fond of watching things like The Ghoul's presentation of "Attack of the Mushroom People", back in the day. This may have been in part due to the funny voiceover lines that the Ghoul would insert at various points in the movie. <overdey!> On the other hand...

    Turkey Leftovers....

    A good leftover turkey dish is &#8220;Turkey Divan&#8221;. This is basically turkey with broccoli in a white sauce with cheese on top and put under the broiler. There are a few versions though, ranging from what might be classified as a &#8220;7-11&#8221; version ... to a long-winded french...
