Why I Switched to Whole Grains & Why You Should Too
Hope you enjoy this chat about switching to freshly milled whole-grain flour. My goals here are really to share some truth about the history of commercial milling as well as my personal experience. If you’re ready to make the leap to milling your own flour, check out my links below.

My smarter clothesline design for sag-free lines. In my quest to find a more durable way to keep my clothesline snug and improve those things I wasn’t quite satisfied with, I came to realize that fence strainers would be the best tool for the job. Add to that some high-strength cable and you have yourself a sag-free clothesline. If you would like to only put a strainer at one end, check out my ...

    Hey your videos are coming in my news feed for few days now your video quality is really good i watch your videos carefully every time the videos are good but not seo friendly u can now tell what is the full meaning of seo search engine optimization example in other words after a person comes to youtube he searches for the keywords he needs and searches for videos related to those keywords. Thus, you need to SEO your videos with the help of popular keyword research tools within the title description tag area of your videos. Keyword research needs to be done and set up. Later, if a person searches with keywords set up in the middle of your videos, they will see your videos at the top and grow organically. Video views like comments share watch time etc will increase if you want I can guide you

    My Mom bought these stainless steel clothespins (made in Italy) called "Henry Berry & Dairy Extreme Clothespins" and she loves them. She has arthritis and kept opening the wood and plastic clothespins on a skew and ends-up breaking them, but these stainless steel ones really last. Expensive, but worth it.

    Hey Jenna, how's your replacement pans holding up? I bought their 10-inch skillet a few weeks ago and it warped already. I have a few stainless steel pans from other brands (Hestan and all clad), none of which have warped... so a bit disappointing to be honest. Looks like their new manufacturing process to fix the warping issue isn't working. I'm thinking of just getting an All-Clad pan rather than a replacement. I should've watched your video before investing in Heritage Steel! Lesson learned. Thanks for your review!

      My replacement skillet stayed pretty flat for a while, babying it along. It’s starting to warp though. It also seems like it’s just not nicely balanced. It tips so easily toward the handle. I do not enjoy cooking with them and haven’t bothered to get additional replacements. If you get all clad I’d love to know which ones you get and. If you have better success with them.

    I just purchased an 8 piece set of HS pots and pans. I like the idea that this company was against making non stick pans. I also liked that the pans were manufactured in the US with employees that had worked for the company for years. The pans are nice and comfortable in the hand. The set has the sizes that are needed. They don’t waste your money throwing in a pot or pan that isn’t needed. However, upon unboxing…two out of 5 pans were damaged on the cooking surface. The box was intact so they were shipped with these issues from the company. In my opinion very poor quality control. These should have been considered factory seconds but I paid full price for perfect pans. I wrote to the company the day I received the pans. I did get a message back two days later saying to fill out a warranty claim. There was no “sorry” or apologies for my inconvenience. Anyway, I submitted a warranty claim even though I’ve never used the pans and so far I haven’t heard anything from the company. Another note is that the return policy is terrible. If you want to return you have to pay the postage. There is no prepaid return label. That’s fine if you just decide you don’t like them but my pans are damaged. Even though I absolutely love the pans, at this point I would really like my money back so I can buy from another company. The communication and customer service is awful. Also, the return policy is bad. If you do send something back you get 30% deduction and then store credit to buy more of their crap pans. So, be careful…this is one purchase I wish I hadn’t made.

    Corn needs to be grown in blocks not rows because it's wind pollinated it will have a hard time getting pollinated in rows. I recommend considering a hybrid super sweet corn or synergistic they are so much sweeter, I really like jubilee super sweet and Allure synergistic both very good. I don't really care for any of the heirloom varieties to starchy for my liking. I do grow mostly heirloom but corn, cucumbers and peppers have some really good qualities with some of the hybrid varieties.

Also if you happen to plant corn say in rows North and South and the wind blows North and South you may get just fine pollination but you are gambling.
