Hawaiian Bread


Friend of mine, Jennifer Lojuk, just sent me this bread recipe.  Can’t wait to try it!!


6 cups flour
2 cups pineapple juice
½ tsp ginger
2 pkg yeast
3 eggs
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 stick margarine

**Beat eggs, add pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla and melted margarine.  Put 3 cups flour in large bowl.  Add egg mixture and stir until well mixed.  Sprinkle in yeast 1 pkg at a time, mixing well.  Gradually add the other 3 cups flour.  Batter will be hard to mix with spoon, may have to use hand.  Make sure it is mixed well.  Leave batter in bowl and cover with cloth.  Place in a warm place and let rise 1 hour.  Remove from bowl and knead in ½ cup flour.  Knead about 10 times.  Divide into 3 equal parts and place in well-greased round cake pans. (I use bread pans too)  Cover and place in a warm place and let rise another hour.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

chicken, green beans, potatoes


Love this idea.  All in one pan so less to clean up.  Very healthy too.

In a 9x13 pan, cut 3 chicken breasts in half, add 2 cans green beans on one side and cut up red skin potatoes on the other. Sprinkle a packet of zesty Italian dressing mix over the top. Drizzle a stick of melted butter over it. Cover it with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Liquid Fence

http://www.survivorjane.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=148:now-you-see-it-now-you-dont-making-a-liquid-fence&catid=47:sustainable-living&Itemid=64


1 egg, 5 garlic cloves (or five tablespoons of minced garlic) and 5 gallons of water.
Luckily I had everything with the exception of the 5 gallon containers (which I just had to wait until I finished with my milk cartons and used them.)
To make this stuff, you crack open an egg and put it into one of the gallon containers.  Then fill the container with water. Divide the egg/water mixture equally into all the containers.  Once this is done, fill the containers full of fresh water and place one crushed clove of garlic (or tablespoon full each of minced garlic) in each container.  Let the containers set out for several days – in the sun light preferably.  Once it has fermented (baked in the sun) its ready.  Pour in on and around your plants you don’t want deer or rabbits to eat. 
Good news – the smell will dissipate as it dries and then YOU won’t be able to smell it, but the deer and rabbits will! (If it rains, you will need to reapply – so I keep a couple gallons in waiting at all times)
