Though I am no longer living on a food stamp budget I will be posting new recipes soon. <br /><br />I had a bit of emergency surgery and was off my game for a bit, but am fine now. <br /><br />KWKarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005449134640685384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954646683383062305.post-68754568010549779282011-10-11T12:54:03.724-04:002011-10-11T12:54:03.724-04:00Hello,

I became a big fan during the original food stamp budget and would love to see at least the archives still easily available since I'd like to point friends on a tight budget towards your ideas. <br /><br />If you are having technical difficulties (home page is cut off) and need some help getting things back in order I'd like to volunteer to help - I do internet design and tech for a living. Please contact me via the site link below if you need to and I will keep this feed alive in hopes that it will be back.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing everything and your generous spirit and imaginative solutions are an inspiration.<br /><br />heather gardner-madrasheather gardner-madrashttp://heathergm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954646683383062305.post-7801881992829557032011-09-17T11:20:35.804-04:002011-09-17T11:20:35.804-04:00You can make sauerkraut very easily and cheaply at...You can make sauerkraut very easily and cheaply at home. I use the recipe below from my friend Nishanga's blog. I like that I can temper the taste to my preference by making it myself, because commercial sauerkraut it too salty and too pungent for my preferences. Check out Nishanga's blog: (gastronicity.blogspot.com)She's an acupuncturist and nutritionist. I think you'd like each other.<br /><br />1 medium size head organic cabbage<br />1 tablespoon fine sea salt<br />1 teaspoon caraway, fennel or mustard seeds, dill or juniper berries<br /><br />Shred the cabbage as finely as you can, and place it in a large bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the cabbage and massage it in, squeezing until the cabbage begins to exude some juice. Once it is thoroughly wet, add the spices and combine. Stuff the cabbage into a wide mouth Mason jar, pressing down with your hands so that the cabbage juice rises above the level of the shredded cabbage. Use pickle weights or a smaller jar that will fit inside the mouth of the jar to weight the cabbage as it ferments. Cover the whole thing with a T-shirt or cloth secured with a rubber band and let ferment, for 3 days or more. Check each day to be sure the cabbage is submerged and taste daily to see if it has achieved a flavor you like. You may seal the lid and refrigerate to stop further fermentation. Eat 1-2 teaspoons a day or meal to improve your health!Mirabainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954646683383062305.post-42346249006001188352011-09-16T18:35:08.599-04:002011-09-16T18:35:08.599-04:00Brilliant.

Finding the sale-priced quail makes it a low-cost protein. Kudos to you for showing that people can cook creatively and inexpensively, even if not on a strict food stamp budget. Why not quail, indeed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954646683383062305.post-3994141856558851822011-09-16T15:24:28.076-04:002011-09-16T15:24:28.076-04:00Yes I am.

A big problem with food stamp budgets is boredom. <br /><br />Eating a quail is a fine dining experience that can boost morale. How much cabbage soup and pasta can one person eat?Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005449134640685384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954646683383062305.post-37136062577356753452011-09-16T15:19:29.707-04:002011-09-16T15:19:29.707-04:00Are you seriously telling people on food stamps to...Are you seriously telling people on food stamps to eat quail?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
