I’m very interested G-gang…
We are renting on 4acres. I’d need to check with landlord…
We’re here for as long as it takes for our houses to sell… then onto some land further south.
Keep me in mind when the time comes please?

I think she’s just saying the cacao butter gives a different texture Bobbles.
Both coconut oil/butter and cacao butter are awesome… but I’m with Forest Raven… I prefer the texture of the raw choc made with cacao butter.

Jude Blereau is amazing. :kiss:
As is her Sydney based friend Holly Davis.
I’m very lucky to have had the pleasure to do a number of courses with both women (mainly Jude) over here in Perth.
Her passion and knowledge is unrivalled… she has changed my cooking forever…
Her catch phrase… ‘To heal, nourish and delight’
That’s what food is…[Read more]

I use lard…. mixed with eucalyptus oil or lavender and tea tree (melt lard, add essential oils, (just a smidge), then let set again.
Lard is just as sticky as vaseline, but not petro-chemical based.
Cheaper too… and works a treat. :tup:

Bentonite Clay is really good for sandy soils… helps with water retention… From stockfeed places it only costs about $20-$30 for a 30kg bag.
For our awful sandy soils over here in the west I use Josh Byrne’s ‘recipe’….
Bentonite Clay (about 2 – handfuls per m2)

Yep tyres are nasty… they leach cadmium… among other toxic nasties into the soil… and thus taken up by your food growing plants.

replied to the topic Avocado ice cream? in the forum Homecooked food (Recipe Request) 8 years, 11 months ago
Yum!
Thanks mudhen.
I recently made a similar mix for my son’s birthday cake icing… just avocado, raw cacao (cocoa) and agave to sweeten…
Makes a beautiful chocolate/mousse/frosting type thing.
What a great idea to thin it out and make ice creams out of it! :tup:

RE: Water Kefir… from my (meagre)experience, I have always found it best to add the fresh fruit and ‘flavourings’ to the second ferment as opposed to the first. You run less risk of ‘tainting’ the grains…
I always add the sugars and dried fruit to the first… and then either leave it plain for the second ferment… or add the freshly juiced…[Read more]

replied to the topic Before I go ahead and make sauerkraut, is there something I should know? in the forum Home Preserving, Food Storage and Stockpiling 9 years, 1 month ago
My only tip is not to add too much salt… If it tastes ‘salty like the sea’… there’s too much salt… thus hampering the growth of beneficial bacteria…
It has to taste like ‘blech.. yuk… that’s salty… but not salty like the sea’ haha 😛
