She only used salt and pepper from her pantry doing like you buying everything from scratch. If you haven't been following her you might like to go and see if you can get any new hints.

I think she did it cause it takes up less space that way. I do that too because I would have no place to put them on a towel flat to dry. I even saw a lady put a quick clothes line up in the house and using the towel like that. ..or a on a long kitchen towel bar. It has been a long time since I made noodles but I may just do it soon! <br />I did not see any fire roasted tomatoes at out Aldi. They may be out. I will ask. I like to use them. I have heard people say they roast them before canning for extra flavor now too. I have not done a challenge but can see how it would be so helpful to have that information now before retirement or anything changed our incomes. We have all been married long enough to see prices of the basics and meats go way up then level out and even go way down then up again. I never thought meats would get so low as they have recently. As the herds get culled prices will go up again probably. Weather and many things also contribute to price changes. We all seen this before. To have a basic cost ideas of what we would need to keep a balanced healthy pantry + too the extras needed for the house would be soothing to know. Yes inflation etc changes things but as we said things go up and another goes down and many times it evens things out in the long run. [[ hopefully!! :-) ]] I have learned a lot. It got me to thinking...which is good!

It keeps indefinitely in the freezer. By doing that, you would not have to be so sparing in your use of yeast. You probably already knew that, but you mentioned using packets.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202514109858932036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-49932452865681414932017-02-14T20:12:08.174-05:002017-02-14T20:12:08.174-05:00How fun the pizza making sounds...
