Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 My sweetheart starts the morning with a coke and a chocolate bar. And (of course) has no blood sugar problems, degenerative diseases, or illnesses. Doesn't seem fair, somehow, when I kept to such strict dietary principles for years (vegan) and ended up a mess. Both of the other adults in my household were made sick by soy, but I don't know if any of us would have figured it out I hadn't found NT. They were (past tense) both vegetarians, and eating lots of soy products. Really bad intestinal distress was the order of the day (diarrhea every morning). They had no idea what was wrong. Removing soy stopped it instantly. So that was an opening for the rest of NT. Everybody in my life (except the vegans) is really excited about the reintroduction of butter--especially the absolutely heavenly raw butter I make from the local Jersey cows. But it's hard being surrounded by junk food, especially the evil chocolate, and not being able to eaet it.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 How do you make buttermilk from it? I was told that buttermilk is the milk that is left after you removed the butter from the cream. I'm confused!!! Would the kefir be as nutritional without the cream?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 About how much do they consume? I'm trying to figure out the logisitics of making my own butter. If we eat roughly a pound a day and it takes three gallons of milk to make a pound of butter, I will have roughly two gallons of skim milk for the chickens. How many chickens would I need to have them consume that in a day? C. ----- Original Message ----- From: BrenRuble@...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 I have 18 chickens and I go through 3-1/2 gallons of skim milk a week. I give them 1/2 gallon a day. I clabber it first. Actually I just take the skim milk and set it down by the chicken coop. When it's nice and clumpy I start dumping it in their bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 I'm not sure what you mean by " put the new milk in the waterer " . Does this mean " fresh " milk (i.e. unclabbered)? Do you mean you use a waterer to hold it for them? I assume you have a separate waterer for water also? I don't mean to sound stupid but I gotta know this stuff before mine arrive!!! :-) I'd say about 50. What we do is let it sour. They like " clumpy " milk more than liquid and flowing. I don't separate milk everyday so I put the new milk in the waterer and save some to clump.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Hi Romanda- I think that it's always uncomfortable at first to have anyone new help you. It's especially uncomfortable for a boyfriend to help you at first. I have had a few of my past boyfriends help with my cares and although it was VERY uncomfortable FOR ME it was fine for them. I think that the best way to get through the uncomfortablness is to just have them help you and see how it goes. After the first time it seems to only get easier. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 is right, after the first time it's easy. The first time I asked my girlfriend for help, it was very difficult. Over time she showed me that she wanted to help in any way she could and it kept getting easier to admit I needed help and ask for it. After a while it got to the point where it just feels natural. Most of the time she knows what I need without me asking.
