Homemade Juice

Produce: carrots, lettuce, cranberries, limes, oranges, melon, pineapple, tomato. This is what was available. The produce is chopped into pieces and blended with sufficient water for drinking. The mixture is blended twice to make homogeneous, then stored in the refrigerator. Four liters last about seven days or less, and stays fresh for this time. A glassful is often taken with meals, and to quench thirst as required. Preparation about 30 minutes.

Shoehorn

Putting soft shoes and rubber boots on without a shoehorn is slightly difficult, and often on soft shoes the heal part gets damaged over time, and the back part of rubber boots get worn due to the friction of the socks wearing the back inside, when inserting and removing the feet. Most shoehorns are too short for convenience, and often too weak in structure to do the job adequately. Here is a shoehorn that is ideal.

This strong, convenient, shoehorn is available from IKEA, a Swedish Company, with retail outlets in Canada.

A Complete Breakfast.

Breakfast consists of rolled oats, cooked in the microwave with water for 3.5 minutes. Two tablespoons of ground flax seed is added with sugar and milk as required. A bowl of previously cooked soy beans supplies some protein. This is my daily breakfast,and it is low in cost, quick and nutritious.

Various posts are required in a garden. Some are permanent and other are used for the season. Depicted is a simple straightforward method of driving into the ground and also removing. The procedure is also just as applicable to wooden stakes.

Trail GPS

Periodically I go into the bush, searching for mushrooms. There are usually trails, but often one gets carried away and wanders off and getting lost is relatively easy even in a short distance. I always carry a simple magnetic compass for back-up, but this is not adequate in short distances, so I carry a GPS with a spare set of batteries. When entering an area, I mark the beginning and using the GPS it is easy to get back with ease.

This particular GPS is small, and costs about $100.00 Cdn. Operation is dead simple after a few minutes in learning the various functions.

Real Juice

Making juice from available produce, cranberries, pineapple, oranges, limes and muskmelon. This will be about a weeks supply for one person. The texture is decided by the amount of water added when blending. As an exercise compare this to the concoction sold in Supermarkets under the guise of being called juice. Cost about $12.00 Cdn.

Homemade Dog Food

http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?KWIOI 17 November 2008 Homemade Dog Food

This is what I feed my small, 12 pound, female, four year old, Pomeranian daily. About 6 a.m. Neena is fed a small amount of cooked oats with some milk, then given a bit of brown sugar on the kitchen tile floor as a treat. This is when I eat my breakfast, and this bit of food is more to make me feel good than for Neena.

At about 7 a.m. she is taken for a walk of five km, then she is fed the remainder of her daily ration, which she gobbles down in about one minute. Her toenails are in perfect condition and are never clipped, due to wear in walking.

A bowl of juice, frozen liver, one sardine, one egg yolk is supplied, and she gobbles this up without looking up. The juice may be not-essential, but my view is she may absorb some nutrients from this, and it make me feel good.

After this she is given a small piece of frozen goat stewing meat with bone outside and she gnaws on this for about 10 minutes, which keeps her teeth white and strong. She never swallows the bone.

She is never given anything commercial which is produced for dogs like "treats", or the other cuddly names.

Periodically, when I eat, she is given a small bit of my food, just for a taste, and I mean small.

Neena keeps her weight of 12 pounds, and is bright, active, and obviously very healthy.

The food selected is readily available in my area, and from my knowledge, she is getting a balanced diet.
