Unique canning and homemade recipes

[Gen12:3]

Thanks for home remedies!
I saved them in my compute!

I like taking
1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar mised with 1 teaspoon of honey
When the stomach bugs hits.

Mouse Pie




5 fat field mice

1 cup macaroni

1/2 thinly sliced medium onion


1 medium can tomatoes

1 cup cracker crumbs

salt and pepper Boil macaroni 10 minutes. While it is cooking, fry the field mice long enough to fry out some of the excess fat. Grease a casserole with some of this fat and put a layer of macaroni on it. Add onions, then tomatoes, salt and pepper well. Add field mice and cover with remaining macaroni. Sprinkle the top with cracker crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees about 20 minutes or until mice are well done. (Don't have any field mice? You could use 10 little sausages)

I caught three so far this week, eeek! We put them in the dumpster, sticky paper and all.

MicahThank you for posting all these. As a kid mom would give me a variation of the adult cough syrup a few times. I'll put the mice pie recipe in my wifes recipe book and see how it takes for her to find it. One of my favorite movies is never cry wolf, came out in '84 I think. The main character is a scientist who is studing wolves to see if they can live off mice alone. The movie has a great mice eating montage when the main character tries it for himself, blender and all

What a great help the med. recipes are. I was raised on homemade cough/cold recipes. and they work. Never had a recipe for them though.
Thank you so much for posting them.

I have a question about one ingredient. What is washing soda? What name does it go buy and were can someone find it?

Thank you.

Wow - nothing like answering a question 18 months late, is there!

Washing soda is Arm & Hammer washing soda...it comes in boxes and can sometimes be found at Walmart by the laundry detergent, but I ususally just have my local grocer order me a case of it.

Come on, now....can you tell me honestly that if there was nothing else to eat you would not eat a mouse? Hmmmmm??? At least now you have a yummy recipe for it.

I absolutely would, but Mickey might not approve. Now I'm just trying to decide if I have the self-restraint not to eat the other recipe ingredients first . . .

In a related vein, I recall asking DD this, when she was about 15: You just shot a pigeon, and you have 10 people to feed. What's for dinner?

She answered correctly: Soup.

My girlie girl brought her breakfast into the house about 5 this morning. Munched it down, crunched a little of her dry food, hopped onto the bed with us, curled up on DH's feet and puked it all out.

Yep, been up since 5 -- Yep, washing the bedding.
