RE: Cooking With Fresh Pumpkins
Cut the pumpkins in half and scoop out all the "stuff". Lay them cut side down on a baking sheet and bake at 350 F. until you can stick a fork into them easily.

Let them cool enough to handle then turn them cut side up and scrape out the flesh with a spoon. To smooth the flesh out more for use, run it in a food processor until smooth, I like to put it in one cup measures in baggies in the freezer or make up pie fulling without the eggs and freeze it in baggies measured for each pie. Just thaw, add eggs, and pour into crust and bake! Easy...as pie! ... View related article.

RE: Treating a Dog With Ringworm
Tea Tree Oil works wonders on ringworm. It's also very very safe for kids, pets, living things in general. Rub gently with a cotton swab dipped in tea tree oil two or three times a day until the spots are healed (you should be able to get this at rite aid, walgreens or a health food store; maybe GNC, too). I have used this on both pets and people with fantastic results. ... View related article.

RE: Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas
Here's a bunch of great ideas:
http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2 ... 4-great-gifts-you-can-make-yourself/
http://notmadeofmoney.com/blog/2006 ... -gift-ideas-from-around-the-web.html

Other ideas i have used myself are: cut two matching pieces of fabric or fleece and stitch three sides together... stitch into three tubes that are all open at the top.
Mix a bag of rice with as much cinnamon and cloves, or lavender flowers as you like... fill the tubes to about two inches from the top and stitch shut... heat 1- 2 1/2 minutes in the microwave = heating pad (great for cold feet in bed!)

A couple nice loaves of homemade bread

Christmas Breakfast Kit - Bagels, cream cheese, Lox, Champagne, Orange Juice
or
Christmas Breakfast #2 - Homemade Pancake/Waffle mix, Maple Syrup, heat and serve sausages, heat and serve bacon, Orange Juice, a couple sample packets of Flavoured Coffee

I can come up with all kinds of ideas! Contact me if you need more. Happy Holidays! ... View related article.

RE: Where Can I Buy Washing Soda?
Meijer carries Arm and Hammer Washing Soda. You'll find it in with the Borax in the laundry aisle. If your local Meijer doesn't have it. Ask them to order it for you. They usually will special order items for a customer at no extra cost. Good luck! ... View related article.

Tahlula, Thank you so much! I don't know where I got that line from, but I was looking around and listened to the Mammas and the Pappas version and ping! That was it! The very song my sister used to sing to me. I don't know how to thank you enough! Thank you thank you thank you!! ... View related article.

RE: Remedies for Dry Skin
A wonderful skin protection/moisturizer I have been making for years: one cup schmaltz (rendered chicken fat, such as when you boil a chicken for salad or soup) melted and hot and 1/2 cup chamomile flowers or elderberry flowers or a combination of both. Mix together while fat is almost hot enough to"fry" the flowers and allow to sit at room temp and cool.. Once it's cool but still a bit liquid, strain into a sterile jar and allow to cool completely. Keep this in the frige. Before you wash dishes, clean with any kind of chemicals, put on rubber gloves, garden, go out in the cold, rub a good dollop into hands and any other area that's very dry. Most people don't know I do a LOT of farm work, since my hands sure don't show it. ... View related article.

RE: Asking a Boy to a Sadie Hawkins Dance
Guys don't like too much "cute" and they don't take hints well at all, but on the same token they're weird about girls if you're too pushy. I would just ask him if he'd like to go with you. Look him in the eye when you do it. Then look down and back up. Worked for me. ... View related article.
