I think it is important for those who want to live ERR Cheep. When all the canned goods run out, and all you got is water and grains, you can sprout and grind and survive on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-25267084925843068112011-03-05T20:28:54.371-06:002011-03-05T20:28:54.371-06:00I'll post the attatchment scifi, all ya had to...I'll post the attatchment scifi, all ya had to do was ask.<br /><br />halfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-57203530511759694922011-03-05T15:08:26.512-06:002011-03-05T15:08:26.512-06:00fantastic to inherit a good tried and tested machi...fantastic to inherit a good tried and tested machine...i've never used a mill - but i'm starting with a hand one. gotta make my purchase in the next two weeks before UPS bumps up shipping costs to compensate for gas prices.<br /><br />did i mention i enjoy reading ur blog!She Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402907306215787064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-42984330311870327132011-03-05T14:59:28.987-06:002011-03-05T14:59:28.987-06:00Keep looking for a mill in the thrift stores.

I hope that isn't the same case about the motor. I'm hoping that anyone who has any information about one will leave a comment.<br /><br />SkippyMom, what a good idea! I might know someone who would be willing to ship it to me if that's what I end up needing to do. As for the mixer, I know it is going to be one of the most used appliances in my kitchen. I love to bake (still a beginner though) and using it to make breads is awesome. <br /><br />Kathie thank you so much for your kind words. I know how hard it is to find storage places for food storage. I have a couple of ideas that might help... more on that later. I am so excited that you are saving for a dehydrator. Don't forget to keep an eye on craigslist.You never know what you might find there. It sounds like your grandmother is a wise woman. Make the most of every moment!<br /><br />Jane thanks for stopping in. Yes, I still can't believe I was given such a wonderful gift.<br /><br />Dizzy-Dick You have a great ability to make me just laugh out loud. I love your outlook on life! And it IS a bummer, btw...<br /><br />Farm Girl - I know the electric mills are noisy but the ease of grinding flour opposed to the noise sure is a good tradeoff. It sounds like you have a wonderful family... I love the story of your daughter and her memories.Those are precious things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-4150720654774621692011-03-04T21:18:16.301-06:002011-03-04T21:18:16.301-06:00I have a Magic Mill grain grinder and I have used ...I have a Magic Mill grain grinder and I have used it and liked it but there is one thing that I don't like about it is the noise. I think I would use it more if it just didn't break my eardrums. I used to take it to my aunt and uncles house so they could use it and he used to turn his hearing aids off and it didn't bother him. I still laugh. <br />My favorite grain to grind is spelt. I really enjoy spelt. <br />I found that using oatmeal in my blender works for me though. <br />Tillers are important. Who wants to use a shovel. Though we have. <br />Nice thoughts, My daughter turned twenty and we got in the car to go shopping and I put on my Ipod and Welcome to Pooh Corner came on by Kenny Loggins and she started crying because she said, I was just a baby and Dad would sing that to me on his guitar. Time just goes by to fast.<br />Sorry this is so long, I guess I just wanted to talk. Thanks for putting me on your sidebar. <br />I receive the most hits to my blog from your blog.

Our brains slow down as we age, therefore the older we get the faster time goes and we don't have as much of it left as we used to.

I wish I were in a position to do the same. You did encourage me to check out dehydrators and I settled on the Excalibur for my wish list. My problem is I live in a converted barn, really, in the upstairs section which used to hold the hay and straw etc. The original beams are still in here and I have no storage area at all. But figured I could do some dehydrating and store in food grade buckets. I am hoping by my BD in May I will have enough saved back to go for the Excalibur and take advantage of the fresh veggies this summer. And yes, when you are 10, say, will summer ever get here? by July, is it time for school to start yet? Are we there yet we've been riding for hours ( 45 minutes), my grandma used to tell me not to wish my life away that one day time would fly by so fast I wouldn't believe it...guess what? I believe it now!Love your blog!

I know I have Canadian friend that needed a part only sold in the US and he asked if I would accept it and send it along to CAN [he would pay all postage of course.]<br /><br />I know my UK bloggy buddies are sweethearts and I am sure they would do it for me. <br /><br />As for the mixer - OH YEAH BABY! I love my mixer for everything. We bought a refurbished [YELLOW - HAPPY!] Kitchen Aid 5 years ago and the thing is a work horse. LOVE it! So happy you have one too. We don't have attachments, but we can knead, mix, whip [best mashed taters in the world!] <br /><br />Have a great weekend!SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-41400758300571899212011-03-04T05:39:17.746-06:002011-03-04T05:39:17.746-06:00I got a Kitchen Aid mixer and wanted the grain mil...I got a Kitchen Aid mixer and wanted the grain mill attachment but couldn't find it...turns out that the mill takes a lot of energy and was burning out motors, so they stopped making it! Glad I found out before I got it!<br />I agree with Mars about the tiller. We invested in one for big plantings, but I also got a power cultivator that attaches to my string trimmer handle and it works fantastic in narrow beds and raised beds!Herbalpaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13122973060172005945noreply@blogger.com
