It was corned beef when I was a kid. Always been a big fan of savory things. Been vegetarian for over a decade now and my favorite go-to recipe for comfort food is mujadara (spelled differently depending who you talk to.) It's a relatively inexpensive meal but filling and so gloriously savory! I highly recommend the version from the food network- that recipe has a wide tolerance for substitutions and that's what I rate my favorite recipes by as I usually just make do with whatever is on hand.

I was very self conscious about using mine when I lived with 4 others in a co-op.
Turns out no one minded and if they said anything it was something positive! That they liked the sound or found it charming!
I don't think you should worry. After all, people put up with such a lot of sounds from machinery; vacuums to blenders to trains, etc.

Thank you, Tyler! I fixed it up.

I just setup an online shop recently.

I'm hoping to support myself mostly through selling what I can make. I'm currently WWOOFing and bike touring between farms and feel largely self-sufficient.
The autumn is my favorite season and here in the midwest I'm enjoying the autumn equinox greatly. I taught a workshop on bookbinding at the farm I'm about to leave and would like to do more of that when able. Recently I've been busy preparing Halloween advent calendars that feature a haunted house and celebrate the month of October. Thought I'd mention it since tis the season and I want to contribute more here in whatever way I can until I feel more confident with permaculture and my experiences.

I'm offering this link and hope it helps!

Good luck with your distribution!

If you don't have friends with horses, invite an equestrian club to visit. A parade is planned to involve the horses going between the rows several times. If a game can be made of it, all the better!
Just a thought.

Greetings!
I'm from rural Michigan and just started WWOOFing by bicycle this summer. I had been living in Ann Arbor and after two years there decided the city wasn't offering enough time outdoors. Everything lined up so I was able to leave my job in good standing and so far I love my new lifestyle. I want to travel and learn how to farm and live in concert with nature and others.
My background is art based and I make a small income selling prints, books, and teaching workshops. I expect to make my way around the states until I find something worth sticking around for. I'm a big believer in sharing knowledge and so this place seems like a good place to contribute and participate in.
With warmth,

So informative! I tried going herbal years ago- the factory made herbal cigarettes taste terrible to me! I used mullein and damiana and raspberry leaves, but ended up back in tobacco. The last time I quit and thought it would last but I'm struggling again. The herbs you've shared are very extensive and the only thing I can add was a tip passed on to me from a friend who quit while they were still in a relationship with a chain-smoker. They began rolling corn silk purchased through a co-op as a tea base. Just pure corn silk, rolled and filtered allowed them to smoke with friends and not feel left out.
I used it in conjunction with nicorette lozenges and I was smoke-free until I got very depressed this past spring. I suspect that if one dried the corn silk themselves it would have less harshness but it is still better than the mullein/damiana I used to use- very even burning and only a slight harshness which seems advantageous as it doesn't invite habitual use.
