[Were you a mod of Homestead on Reddit? Message me if you’re interested in modding here.]

This is a community for people who are working toward a sustainable personal environment. This includes crofters, homesteaders, hobby, small, and family farmers. Hunters, gatherers, cultivators, and keepers are all welcome.

There may be discussions of animal harvesting and processing. This is part of the homesteading reality. If you don't like it leave and block the community.

RULES:

  1. All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.

  2. Everyone (see rules 4 and 98) is welcome.

  3. If you've seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.

  4. There will be ZERO tolerance for shaming, brigading, harassment, or other nonsense of those who keep, hunt, harvest, and process animals. [See rule 98.] You will be permanently banned the first time. You are NOT morally superior because you choose not to.

  5. If you post a picture that includes blood, gore, or a dead animal mark it NSFW. We're not going to tolerate the militant anti-hunting and anti-farming bullshit here but we're also not going to tolerate people rubbing their hunting and harvesting in people's faces. [See rule 98.] If you post blood, gore, or dead animals and don't mark it NSFW it will be removed.

[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]

  1. If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.

  2. Don't be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule. Yes, you absolutely can be permanently banned for Rule 98 violations.

  3. The mod(s) have the final say.

I picked about 500 ml (2 c) this morning. My wife is away for the next three weeks so I'm going to try my hand at making and canning black raspberry jam.

Hey same here. Mid 50s I mean. Not Canadian.

It is funny about recipes, they state 1teaspoon, etc and then they will be like, 250g. It’s just nuts. Then it’s 4 eggs. No size, weight, etc. It even worse, 2 potatoes.

Didn’t make sense. But anywho. I had never seen fruit measured in unit of volume, either metric or imperial, so was just surprised. Liquids-volume, solids-weight/mass. With squishy stuff I suppose you could go either way.

My pound cake recipe...

1 pound of butter

1 pound of sugar

1 pound of flour

1 pound of eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

the juice and zest of one lemon

Easy.

Make it a pound of vanilla and all you need to remember is: BSFEV.

LOL

My wife would kill me if I put a pound of vanilla in there. That would be a pound of bourbon. Heh.

Just between you and me you can also remember...

2 cups of butter, 3 cups of sugar, 4 cups of flour, and 10 large eggs.

I've made thousands of pounds of pound cake over the years. I don't even look at the recipe anymore. Haven't for years.
