purple replied to purple's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You can laugh at this one but its no joke I was in jeans and a t-shirt all day in the garden. Dosed up with eucalyptus. No mosquitos all day. I went in to shower at 5:30. Put silky basketball shorts and a t-shirt on. Sprayed my arms and legs with eucalyptus again. Went outside to plant one more tomato plant in the garden. Was sitting down alot of the... -

				ARCHIVED Sorgham Flour Vs Rice Flour
purple replied to Chrissyb's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
What I do is this, I use sorghum mix in most everything except I don't bake breads much, but the ones I tried call for millet and sorghum, like the english muffins. Many on here use brown rice flour. I used to use the rice flour mix but thought it was a bit grainy or sandy so I switched. I still use rice on occasion for some things like today I made Oreos... -

				ARCHIVED Any Gardening Tips For A Beginner?
purple replied to purple's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yeah, I have been reading about crop rotation, companion planting, family planting and planting for heirloom seed saving. Nice to know about your cherry toms I hate cilantro but my dh and dd like it. I always put green onions in our salsa for color and seasoning. I bought 1 cherry tom and my mil gave me one so we'll see what happens. -

				ARCHIVED Coconut Choclate Chip Cookies
purple replied to Chrissyb's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I would just add coconut to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Also if you have coconut flour on hand you could use just a little of it in place of some of your gluten-free flour mix...may need to add a bit of water if dough is too thick. I tried the flour in brownies once and I could taste the coconut...but didn't like it in the brownies. I would... -

Great ideas...Thanks - 
	I was wondering what you use for insect repellent that is non-toxic. Or any tips to keep those mosquitos away??? I was told not to eat bananas. To rub basil leaves on your skin. What about after bite? We always put rubbing alcohol on ours to stop the itching. Any other ideas would be very welcome!!! THANKS!
