I can find lots of white beans, EXCEPT the white kidney beans, aka

Cannellini beans, which I can not find in dry form. They have such a

creamy taste, different from their sister red kidneys.

I grow my own beans, and dry them myself for long term

storage, but I have seen them in many stores, many

varieties.  I grow about 10 varieties in the summer, and

dry or freeze them for use during the winter.  I am just

using up the last of my cranberry beans from last

season-they are my all time fave!

Hi, since we are the Queens and

Kings of OT I was hoping to get

some info on chia and hemp. My

teenage daughter has been

vegetarian for four years now and

I've always tried to get omega's

into her diet. She likes the chia

and hemp in her smoothies but I'm

so confused as to how much she

needs. I've tried searching and

there is so, so much information

out there and some of it

contradicts the other. Does anyone

have any good reliable information

on this ? Thanking you in advance.

For what it is worth, I HAD to learn to be very creative, when confronted with a very limited diet. If any of you guys do dishes and laundry, you are MORE than welcome to come stay with me! Kim-THANKS for the cauliflower idea-I have riced it for years, but just used my food processor-never thought to do it in the Vitmax, but will NEVER go back to my old ways

I haven't really looked for them, but I will next time I go to a good market (I rarely shop in grocery stores-I order everything wholesale) They might be marketed as fazolia bean, white kidney, or even as great northern. They are not actually great northerns, but they are close and I have seen them marketed as such-there really is only a subtle difference in great northerns, so you could easily substitute those. Make a wonderful creamy base for sooooo many things! I played with several new varieties of beans this past year, and plan to try even more new ones this year. Love my beans! One of my favorite things to do is shell beans and peas, isn't that silly? Could sit out in the sunshine all day long doing that very thing!

I do it on my own. I was with a co op, but unfortunately they went belly up, which is when I had to get very serious about it all! I acquired my own cows for milk , and tracked down sources to buy things wholesale. There isn't much I don't have access to, and am, in fact, considering starting another co op of my own-just not sure I want to commit the time to it, but many people order from me, since I offer things at my cost, plus shipping. Happy to extend that offer to anyone on the group (mainly for grains), but shipping is usually quite a booger! Best to find local sources, if possible. I have a wholesaler license, so that makes it a bit easier for me, and I have already established some really great contacts that I can order from. Again, I suggest making friends with someone who owns a small restaurant-they are

usually HAPPY to order for you, since they often don't have enough of an order to meet a minimum order requirement. Don't be afraid to ask!!

I would love to see a list of sources for mail order of items harder

to find in grocery stores, added to our Links section.

Yes, I do see Great Northern beans in stores, but they are not same

shape as White Kidney. They Can fool other people but not me, LOL

If I did not have a entire acre of ground that is all hard clay, I

would do more garden. I keep trying but it is not easy when it is

just me, husband can't help and son won't.

Look up " Square Foot Gardening " .

It can get you started on easy raised bed gardens.

Ha Ha. I have Mel B's original first edition SFG book, as well as his

new edition and the cookbook. Problem is getting husband in the mood and

health to help build beds. I built one last year and planted 3 times and

each time the seedlings got about 3 inches tall and were doing well,

then I would come out the next morning and every single seedling was

gone. I never saw what got them, be it insect or squirrel? (have not

seen a gopher who could dig our soil). I did much better with my left

over tree buckets, but only have a limited number of them. My best

tomato plant and my basil are still limping along in the sunroom. It is

time this week to move them out as we are past frost, and hopefully past

heavy rain and wind.

Rabbits have been vexing me for way too long.
