Just about two months ago I was thinking about getting myself an apron; then I found this article and think it's time to take the plunge. I have an older sewing machine that works, though have no idea how to use it. Would it be a bad thing if I just go and buy some fabric and using one of the patterns you guys have posted, attempt to sew one myself? Granted getting all the things you need to get the sewing machine running can be pricy, I think it would be a good investment. Just imagine I might actually be proud of myself for something. I love you guys. You are a blessing in so many ways. You know what’s funny?

]]> Comment on Flour Differences by Dreama http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/flour-differences.htm/comment-page-1#comment-31987 Dreama Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:24:35 +0000 http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/?p=5028#comment-31987 A little bit of research helped me decide to begin grinding my own flour from wheat berries...don't take my word - check it out yourself. One fact: even rats will not eat processed flour before the manufacturer 'adds back in' a few nutrients/vitamins....ugh!! Two: wheat berries (un-ground hard or soft wheat) stays good for way longer than it takes to use up a 50 lb (!) tub. The only drawback is buying a grinding mill or attachment...electric ones are quite pricey - maybe you could ask for one for your birthday! Good luck!

Trying it for the first time today. I never understood why everyone gets so upset over bodily fluids, especially moms! I mean, if anyone should have gotten over the "yuck" factor, it's them. Babies can pee right in your face! Oh, and if things do get messy, you can also make your own sanitizing wipes.

I had tried to make another recipe on Sunday, and it turned out to be complete crap (and I do mean the actual recipe...). Thanks for this. I just made this soup—it’s AMAZING!

I love aprons! I have a very old one with red trim on it that belonged to my great-grandmother. I take it out and look at it sometimes, but I don't use it. I have a couple simple aprons like you buy for bbq and such, but I want to make some aprons, too. I'm so grad I found this site and it is up to date, like in 2011 and 2012. I saw several others dated 2005 thru 2007. Anyway, I look forward to learning and sharing with y'all. I can sew but not really well. i am really interested in some easy samples of criss-cross back aprons which are more comfortable to me, although I do love all kinds of aprons. Like most, I suppose, it reminds me of days with my mother and such. Thanks!! Hi! I love aprons! I have a very old one with red trim on it that belonged to my great-grandmother.

I've been wanting to try this for years. I followed your recipe to the letter EXCEPT: I added powdered ginger, allspice and 1/2 Tbs of Dark Molasses. It came out super chewy, amazingly moist and incredibly tasty! I left the chunks in there as I tend to like more Artisan/Rustic aspects to my food. Thank you so much, I look forward to trying more of your recipes! Thank you for this recipe! I’ve been wanting to try this for years.
